THE SCA PROHIBITS HARASSMENT AND BULLYING OF ALL INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS
• Participants engaging in this behavior are subject to appropriate sanctions.
• If you are subjected to harassment, bullying or retaliation, or if you become aware of anyone being harassed or bullied, contact a seneschal, President of the SCA, or your Kingdom’s Board Ombudsman. While the statement above is the corporate guideline, it is also my own guideline. Harassment and Bullying will not be tolerated at the Framingham Practice.
***************************************
If you are sick with a communicable disease, please stay home.
In the past we all have powered through all kinds of illness, but with the example of COVID to better inform us, we should know better. Let's all strive to keep our sickness to ourselves and to grant our bodies time to recover.
Please preserve your health and your friends' health:
DON'T COME TO PRACTICE IF YOU ARE SICK.
