Subject: Minimum age to join
I was wondering if there was a minimum legal age to join the guild. I
received a membership from a 17 year old on Friday. I also have a 16 year
old who would like to join.

In the past, I've been asked by persons under the age of 16 and I have
always encouraged the parents to join in proxy of the children and that
they should accompany the kids to meetings. However, these are the first
in their late teens.

Personally, I feel that by age 16, they're functioning fairly independantly
and beginning to make their own decisions. However, for legal purposes, we
me want to look in to having a parental release drawn up, so that the
parents acknowledge that they are aware that their children are engaging in
these activities and associating with these people. Not that we engage in
alternative lifestyle activities or adult oriented activities.

On a side note, I received one new membership at the con on Friday (see
above), I have a family that definately plans to join and will probably
come to our Halloween party on Saturday. I also have two young girls who
would like to join (16 and 19, yes I know 19 is ok). We're growing like
wild fire. Hopefully some of them will be active, as we tend to attract
new members who we subsequently never see.

Subject: October Millennium CG newsletter
We will unfortnately be unable to send exchange newsletters this month and
probably through the end of the year. When we established dues for this
year, we didn't have a newsletter. We since started publishing in June and
until this point have not paid for printing which has changed. Our current
dues will cover the cost of postage to members, but not any printing. Not
to mention printing and postage of more exchange copies than we have paid
members. Until such a time as we can re-evaluate our dues structure, we
will probably do good to get a newletter to our members.

I am going to look into converting it to HTML and publishing it to the web,
so that other chapters can read it.

Hi Mike. Pursuant to our bylaws and standing rules
(as I recall), there is no minimum age to join. Since
our functions (or at least those I know of) are not
adult rated, I see no reason to have a minimum. My
attitude, get em while they're young!

Has Millennium considered an e-mail distribution as well? I believe
that some other chapters do so.

Byron,

I had considered that in the beginning when I was still doing it in Word.
Now that I've gone to a more complex format in Publisher, the file itself
is generally too big to email. And, many people do not have access to
Publisher. I could take all the text and put it into Word, but then I'd be
creating 2 newletters and I spend enough time on just one. I still need to
look into the Web publishing.

You might try Adobe Acrobat, if you can snag a copy. It operates as a virtual
printer, so you can create your document in any application and "print" it as
an acrobat .pdf file.

This is a highly compressed format that still preserves your page layout and
fonts. It's ideal for e-mail. The reader is free and can be downloaded from
any of several web sites.

Subject: Re: October Millennium CG newsletter
Here's my two cents on electronic communications to
chapter members. My concerns, which I've expressed
many times, are these:

(a) In sending out newsletters or any other
communications to your chapter members, you're making
the assumption that all your members have access to a
computer and e-mail. For those who do not have this
access, you are alienating those members and not
communicating with them. Even if that is only one
member, it poses a problem. Why should they join if
some of your people get the information, and not all?

(b) You will also alienate those members who may have
electronic access, but are not computer savvy. I know
this can be annoying, but there are people who freak
at any more than just a plain e-mail (my best friend
is one of those).

We are here to serve all our members in whatever way
we can. However, there is always the option of giving
your members the choice. For instance, when we
recruit teachers for Costume College, we give them the
choice of electronic communications or snail mail.
Most opt for e-communications, which lowers our cost
greatly. But, not all our teachers have computers
available, so this way we've made sure we got the
information to everyone in the way most convenient for
them. It really poses no more work for us (in fact
it's less work), and cuts our costs.

Group: ICG-BOD Message: 563 From: ICG-BOD@yahoogroups.com Date: 11/1/2001
Subject: File - mailing-lists.txt
Administrivia: About the ICG mailing lists.

Due to a crash of the Best List Server in early October,
the ICG mailing lists were moved to eGroups. When the
server came back up, the membership decided it liked eGroups.

The ICG has 2 mailing lists, the ICG General Discussion (ICG-D)
list and the ICG Board of Directors (ICG-BOD) list.

ICG-D is intended for, but not limited to, the general membership
of the International Costumers' Guild.

ICG-BOD is intended for, and limited to, the members of the
International Costumers' Guild Board of Directors as defined
by Article 5, Section 1 of the ICG Bylaws and those non-voting
parties as invited by the BOD to provide commentary.

To post to the lists use the following addresses:

ICG-D@egroups.com for general membership discussion.
ICG-BOD@egroups.com for officer level discussions.

To subscribe, please see the Subscription HowTo contained
in subscribe.txt for instructions.

Notes:

Policies of the ICG-D and ICG-BOD mailing list:

1) No Flaming. The moderator will issue one and only one warning.

If the flaming continues, all parties flaming will be unsubscribed.

2) No detailed discussion of the actual making of costumes.

"Huh?" you say. When this list was set up, its intention was
not to draw traffic away other costuming lists such as
H-Costume, F-Costume, Vintage, etc, but to promote discussion
about the ICG and costuming in general between members.

Detailed discussions will be encouraged to move or cross post
to one of the other lists.

3) If someone directly requests the moderator to subscribe/unsubscribe
them they will be sent this message and the moderator will
subsingle/unsubscribe them.

4) No SPAM! Suspect addresses in subscription requests will have their
identity verified.

5) No Chain Letters. I know some of them pull at your heart strings
or have you fearing for your hard drive, but most are inaccurate
(at best), out-of-date or fake (at worst).

6) Severely off-topic discussions or violations of these few policies
will flagged by a message from the moderator with [RIP]* in the
subject line. Further discussion after the posting of the [RIP]
message should be taken to private eMail.

7) No viral advertising! Do not send messages with advertisements
attached. It is bad enough we have to put up with the ads attached
to the free eMail accounts, without members taking the conscious act
of attaching advertising. I consider these one step above SPAM.

8) Subscribers whose accounts bounces mail will be deactivated.

"If messages sent to a member are consistently returned"
will deactivate your account from stop sending the mailing
list to your address.

For freemail account holders (Hotmail, Juno, Excitemail, etc)
Please be aware you account has limitations and will bounce
mail when you exceed you quota or have a full mailbox.

Subject: Re: October Millennium CG newsletter
Let me clarify . . .

I am only looking at e-distribution to other chapters. As, we have one
member who does not have net access, I must continue with hard newletters.
However, as our current distribution of "exchange" copies exceeds our total
membership. Each member would have to purchase 2 copies of the newsletter
to cover costs. I estimate that copying and mailing costs come to about $1
per issue. It would be a cost of $24/yr to each of our members to cover
the cost of their own and the "exchange" newsletters. I probably did good
to get our dues raised from $5 to $8 this year to cover the ICG increase.
I plan to discuss at our Halloween party this Saturday, how we can cover
future costs. It wasn't a big issue up to this point when we were only
paying for postage.

    November 2001 ICG President�s Message

    Hello everyone. I hope your Halloween was both fun
    and safe. I also hope my message this month finds
    everyone getting their lives back to normal. I know
    things have been tough. I myself have been known to
    phase out once in a while, but I�m finding things
    getting better.

    As promised, I have a special offer for all ICG
    members. Recently, I was contacted by a wonderful
    publisher about a book deal just for us. Boydell &
    Brewer publishes some amazing books on historical
    clothing subjects. Their specialty is the Medieval
    period, but apparently they�ll be expanding their
    costume book list beyond just this particular subject.
    For now, however, they�ve offered all their costuming
    titles to us at a 25% discount. They sent us a copy
    of one of their more recent titles, �Textiles and
    Clothing, c. 1150-c. 1450.� Jess Miller is presently
    reading it and will review the book for us. So far,
    she says it�s amazing. I�m looking forward to hearing
    what Jess has to say. In the meantime, I�m including
    a copy of Boydell & Brewer�s flier with their book
    titles and descriptions, prices, and order forms with
    the hard copy of this message. I�m asking all the
    chapters of the ICG to please include a copy of this
    flier with your newsletters so all ICG members may
    receive this benefit. This is a great opportunity to
    take advantage of being an ICG member and I hope you
    all enjoy this perk.

    This isn�t the end of our search for added ICG
    membership benefits. I can�t promise, but we�re
    working on another book publisher who has a much wider
    range of subject matters in the costuming field, and
    we�re even approaching an on-line fabric dealer to try
    and get special discounts for our members. We�ll let
    you know as more companies come forward with special
    offers.

    Dear Christopher,

    I hope that you're sitting down as you read this. If not, please do
    so. I have bad news.

    I'm very sorry, but we're not coming to CC 20.

    Tina had decided more than a week ago that she was not going,
    but I intended to be there for the weekend to do the job you
    asked me to do - flying in on Thursday and out on Tuesday. After
    yesterday's crash of American flight 587, I can't do that. That's
    not how I want to die. You may call me a coward, and I am one,
    but I will never get on an airplane again.

    I regret having to do this, because I like to think that I fulfill my
    obligations, but I hereby resign as director of the CC 20 historical
    costume parade. I will, of course, be happy to provide what
    advice and assistance I can from the United States. I ask that
    you remove the item on the web site identifying me as the
    historical's director.

    With deepest regrets,

    Byron

    Darla,

    Your msg indicated that you would be sending out fliers from Boydell
    and Brewer with the hard copy of your msg. I've never received a
    hard copy of any of your monthly msgs.

    Was that sent out to our official address? If so, it may be months
    before I see it. I was just there a couple of weeks ago for our
    Halloween party and wasn't informed that we'd received any mail.

    Darla,

    No problem with things breaking loose. I just got around to reading your
    msg, since I just did our newsletter.

    Any official correspondence, or anything that needs my immediate attention
    should be sent to my home, not our general correspondence address listed on
    the website. I might see things that go there once a month or less, depends
    if I see our Treasurer at the next meeting and if she remembers to bring the
    stuff with her. We live a good 90+ miles apart, so it's not convenient to
    just pick things up. We've also had ballots for BOD voting duplicated and
    sent out to our entire membership, because our Treasurer received it, saw
    that people needed to vote quickly, so she mailed them all out.

    My home address is:

    Michael Bruno
    2980 Roche Dr South
    Colorado Springs, CO 80918

    I'll include the Boydell & Brewer flyer in our next newsletter. I checked
    out their website and put it in the newsletter. They're publishing the
    London Excavation books, which I'd been wanting to pick up. Now I can get a
    better deal.

    Subject: November Millennium CG Newsletter
    I have just published out November newsletter to the web.  You'll be able to see it before it goes out in the mail to our membership ;-)
     
    Due to formatting for the web, it is slightly different than the printed version.  It's a little rough, but it's my first one.  They'll get better with practice.
     
    As this has been a point of recent discussion, this is how I did it.  I produce our newsletter in Microsoft Publisher.  I thought it had an option for web publishing, but I'd never tried it, until now.  I just took my original publication and clicked on "convert to webpage" (or something like that).  All I really had to do is fix the formatting problems produced by the conversion and add the links to flip between the pages.  Pretty easy really.
     
     
    Hopefully, I can get our webmaster to eventually put links onto our website and maybe I'll get the back issues converted.

    Save for September, I have always sent out a hardcopy
    of all my presidential messages, Marion, as did Byron.
    I have verified each month that the CGUK copy is
    mailed because I have my office mail center post it
    for me and I inform them every time that the postage
    will be different on your's and Canada's since they
    are international. Have we been informed that there
    is a change of address for the CGUK? Please verify
    the address on our website and let me know immediately
    if there is a change. That is the one I've been using
    and the one of which we are informed.

    It is, by the way, not a "newsletter" you should be
    receiving or looking for from me, but a hardcopy of
    the e-mail I send every month on ICG letterhead. It
    is only my presidential message.

    Additionally, this is the first I've heard that you've
    never received a hardcopy of my messages. I only knew
    that you wanted my messages in an rtf format so you
    wouldn't have to spend the time reformatting them from
    my e-mailed copy.

    Darla,

    It's just the last two which haven't shown up as hardcopy - my previous
    comment didn't specify that.
    CGUK's contact address hasn't changed.
    I wasn't sure whether you'd decided to stop sending out hardcopy 'Presidents
    Messages', or whether it had gone astray in the post - I just know that it
    didn't arrive - that's why I asked before.

    Without hardcopy I have nothing to use as a guideline for formatting when I
    put it in the Mantle, unless I receive a copy as .rtf. Byron used bold,
    italics and underlining to emphasise certain points, but this gets lost when
    I receive it as an email version, thus it needed to be checked when
    distributing to the membership.

    It is, however, the nearest CGUK members get to a newsletter from the ICG.

    Darla,

    Are you going to scan the flyer? You could upload it to the files section
    of the list on Yahoo!Groups. They everyone would have access. If it's
    something that the general membership will need to order from them, it would
    be easily accessible from the files section of the ICG-D list.

    Subject: Re: Hardcopy President's Message
    Thanks for the clarification Marion. Actually, I very
    rarely highlight anything in my messages, so you
    haven't lost any of that formatting. I'm actually
    going to start doing the following which your request
    for my messages has prompted me to do:

    1. Everyone will get the president's message within
    the text of the e-mail itself;

    2. I will also attach it to the e-mail as an rtf so
    that everyone can just plug it into their newsletters
    with less hassle; and

    3. You will all also get a hardcopy.

    By giving you all my message in these three ways, you
    can access the info in whatever way best suits your
    chapter's needs.

    Hope that helps everyone.

    believe that this will affect the discussion lists which I'm signed on to,

    Hello everyone, sorry for taking up some bandwith, but I have a question
    for all ICG chapters. We're getting ready to send out a Progress Report for
    Costume-Con 21, and we'd like to know how each chapter would like to
    receive it. Choose one of the options below, and let me know OFFLIST at
    jakelley@jennifarse.com. Thanks in advance!

    1) one email copy (in Adobe Acrobat format) for printing out and passing
    around and/or distribution to your members.

    2) one hard copy (masters) for duplication purposes.

    3) one hard copy (the report as con members will receive it) for
    passing-around meetings.

    4) several copies for distribution to interested members. (Please let me
    know how many copies)

    Thanks again (and remember, reply OFFLIST!!! Thanks!)

    Subject: File - mailing-lists.txt
    Administrivia: About the ICG mailing lists.

    Due to a crash of the Best List Server in early October,
    the ICG mailing lists were moved to eGroups. When the
    server came back up, the membership decided it liked eGroups.

    The ICG has 2 mailing lists, the ICG General Discussion (ICG-D)
    list and the ICG Board of Directors (ICG-BOD) list.

    ICG-D is intended for, but not limited to, the general membership
    of the International Costumers' Guild.

    ICG-BOD is intended for, and limited to, the members of the
    International Costumers' Guild Board of Directors as defined
    by Article 5, Section 1 of the ICG Bylaws and those non-voting
    parties as invited by the BOD to provide commentary.

    To post to the lists use the following addresses:

    ICG-D@egroups.com for general membership discussion.
    ICG-BOD@egroups.com for officer level discussions.

    To subscribe, please see the Subscription HowTo contained
    in subscribe.txt for instructions.

    Notes:

    Policies of the ICG-D and ICG-BOD mailing list:

    1) No Flaming. The moderator will issue one and only one warning.

    If the flaming continues, all parties flaming will be unsubscribed.

    2) No detailed discussion of the actual making of costumes.

    "Huh?" you say. When this list was set up, its intention was
    not to draw traffic away other costuming lists such as
    H-Costume, F-Costume, Vintage, etc, but to promote discussion
    about the ICG and costuming in general between members.

    Detailed discussions will be encouraged to move or cross post
    to one of the other lists.

    3) If someone directly requests the moderator to subscribe/unsubscribe
    them they will be sent this message and the moderator will
    subsingle/unsubscribe them.

    4) No SPAM! Suspect addresses in subscription requests will have their
    identity verified.

    5) No Chain Letters. I know some of them pull at your heart strings
    or have you fearing for your hard drive, but most are inaccurate
    (at best), out-of-date or fake (at worst).

    6) Severely off-topic discussions or violations of these few policies
    will flagged by a message from the moderator with [RIP]* in the
    subject line. Further discussion after the posting of the [RIP]
    message should be taken to private eMail.

    7) No viral advertising! Do not send messages with advertisements
    attached. It is bad enough we have to put up with the ads attached
    to the free eMail accounts, without members taking the conscious act
    of attaching advertising. I consider these one step above SPAM.

    8) Subscribers whose accounts bounces mail will be deactivated.

    "If messages sent to a member are consistently returned"
    will deactivate your account from stop sending the mailing
    list to your address.

    For freemail account holders (Hotmail, Juno, Excitemail, etc)
    Please be aware you account has limitations and will bounce
    mail when you exceed you quota or have a full mailbox.

    Jennifer,
    Actually, the only way to distribute the information
    to the CGW members would either be for us to receive
    the text in an RTF so that we can plug it into our
    newsletter or for your to send us enough copies of the
    PR to distribute and then reimburse us for any postage
    (we have about 400 members). This would be the only
    way we could get it to our folks.

    Darla
    Prez, CGW

    P.S. I will check with the girl who does our layout to
    find out if there's anyway to use the Adobe Acrobat
    format, but I can guarantee inclusion if we receive
    something as an RTF.

    Time: 12:00AM PST (GMT-08:00)

    April, July, and October.

    The January report is also when
    all ICG dues and CQ subscription moneies are also due.

    Looking for a Good Masquerade?!!

    Come to Boston in January!

    The Arisia 2002 Masquerade will be held on Saturday, January 19,
    at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel, Boston, MA, during the Arisia '02
    science fiction convention (January 18 - 20). I'm the masquerade
    director.

    The Arisia masquerade is one of the best on the East Coast. It
    runs basically according to the ICG Guidelines for International
    -level Competitions. Arisia is a costume-friendly con. It attracts
    some of the best work in the northeast; ICG members are well
    represented.

    We will have:

    -- Competent and experienced stage, green room, and tech crews

    -- Good judges - both presentation and workmanship - who are
    knowledgeable and experienced

    -- A REAL stage! A permanent stage, not one taped together for
    the occasion.

    -- A very appreciative audience. Arisia normally runs to about
    1200 members and fills the hotel's (very large) Grand Ballroom.

    To preserve one of the oldest and dearest masquerade traditions,
    passage to and from the stage will be through the kitchen. But,
    the floor will be clean!

    Not only that, but Arisia is a fun con. It is program-heavy, with
    programming on sf literature, science, gaming, art, fandoms, and
    costuming (usually a full track). Katherine Kurtz (a costumer!) is
    the Guest of Honor. Arisia has an excellent art show; Tristan
    Alexander is the Artist GoH. Arisia has a large room designed to
    separate you from your money (dealers' room); it has books,
    clothing, art, media items, fannish stuff - you name it!

    Full memberships are $40.00, in advance at this point or at the
    door, payable to Arisia. For more information, check the Arisia
    web site: www.arisia.org.

    Tina and I have been to every Arisia since the first one, except
    #2. We wouldn't miss it and we enthusiastically recommend it to
    you.

    Hi everyone. I just sent my president's message for
    December, but I think there was something wrong with
    the address I used (weird yahoo glitch), so I'm
    sending it again. If you get it twice, my apologies,
    but here goes.

    PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

    Hello everyone:

    Well, it�s a rather quiet time and to be honest there
    isn�t much going on with the ICG this time of year.
    We�re all concentrating very hard on getting ready for
    the holidays, I�m sure. I�m not going to make my
    message very long this month, which I�m sure will be a
    relief to all of you.

    It has been a very interesting year, to say the least.
    The last few months have been very hard on all of us,
    some more than others, but I don�t believe a single
    one of our members hasn�t been affected by the recent
    world affairs. For anyone who has been personally
    touched, my heart goes out to you as you approach the
    holidays, and for all of us, I hope this holiday
    brings some healing.

    Now, as your ICG president it is my civic duty to
    instruct you all to go out and spend � it�s your
    patriotic duty. There are books to buy, fabrics to
    hoard, and sewing machine gadgets to collect. NOW is
    not the time to scrimp, my dears! Just think what
    being a costumer could mean to the world � we can help
    the global economy. And you thought costuming wasn�t
    important? I say HA!

    On a final note, to all of our ICG members and your
    families, I hope that the holidays bring you joy,
    health, happiness, and peace. May all your dreams
    come true and gift wishes be fulfilled.

    Love and blessings to all,
    Darla

    7) No viral advertising! Do not send messages with advertisements
    attached. It is bad enough we have to put up with the ads attached
    to the free eMail accounts, without members taking the conscious act
    of attaching advertising. I consider these one step above SPAM.

    8) Subscribers whose accounts bounces mail will be deactivated.

    "If messages sent to a member are consistently returned"
    will deactivate your account from stop sending the mailing

    mail when you exceed you quota or have a full mailbox.

    * I originally used Rip as in the sense of a ripping seam, but when
    capitalized, its other meaning worked as well.

    Subject: January 2002 President's Message
    ICG President�s Message

    Welcome to 2002 everyone. First, let me say I hope
    you all had a wonderful New Year. I�m
    fortunate that most of my friends are into costuming
    so that means every New Year�s party I
    attend is always a costume theme. This year it was
    Casablanca. Everyone looked great and we
    all were just waiting for Tommy Dorsey to start
    playing. It was just too bad there was not dance
    floor to start jitterbugging on.

    Now down to business. I need to let you all know
    we�re running late on completing the budget
    for 2002. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond
    her control, Sharon Trembley, our
    treasurer, was unable to get the budget completed for
    review by the BOD in time for the
    December 31, 2001 deadline. However, Sharon has
    assured me that the budget will be ready for
    the BOD by January 21, and we should have it approved
    within two weeks after that date. I will
    keep you updated as to the budget progress. We
    apologize for the inconvenience of this, but
    sometimes life just gets in the way of our volunteer
    work.

    Well, this is a very short president�s message this
    month. I hope you are all in good health and
    spirits, and not too hung over from New Year�s.
