Thanks to a suggestion by Kevin from Toronto, and the scanning of archival copies of the SCAnner by Frank H. of New York, we now have a new/old logo for the SCAnner.
The SCAnner Lamp was a regular feature from our earliest days, though it has appeared in a variety of forms, including a candle at times. The one we’ve chosen was used for many years starting in 1990, the year the SCAnner began.
Who, me? Yes, you. Anyone can write a show for SCA. Team up with others if you like and make it a group effort. This is a great chance to do service in a unique, creative way.
Even if you can’t write a show just now, we’d love to have you involved. Check on the requirements and attend the meeting this Saturday, June 25.
The Special Events committee of SCA NY will plan/host the festivities taking place in NY, and we will need a team effort to make this a big community celebration as it deserves.
Sunday July 10, 2011, at 2:30pm we will hold a brief “Vision/Roadmap” meeting to commence planning for this event. *All are welcome*
The regular Intergroup meeting starts at 3pm that same day, we’ll meet near the door and find a place to informally chat nearby. This is an early meeting, 30 minutes should suffice. As we get closer to the event, we can add time/space.

Frank H. has dug up the very first SCAnner — before it even had a name! Dated January 1986, it’s called just the SCA Newsletter, and includes a call for suggestions for a title.
To see it, or any of the back issues of the SCAnner before it went to blog format, click on the “Print Archives” link at the top-right corner of the SCAnner’s homepage, SCAnnerOnline.org

The International Service Organization of SCA is seeking one person (or more) to edit the SCAnner, the blog you’re now reading.
If you’re interested, please contact the current editor through the About Us page.
The current editor has subscribed to the email groups of the New York and Los Angeles intergroups and receives information from other groups and intergroups (Washington DC has its own newsletter, for instance). The editor also monitors the site and gives approval to others who want accounts with posting privileges.
We would hope that the new editor(s) would also be able to solicit contributions on themes, as we have done in the past. In particular, we have had theme issues on the Sexual Recovery Plan, the Steps, etc. We also have run a regular contributor column called My Story.
There is no set term of office for this position — all volunteers are welcome!
The Los Angeles Intergroup site, www.scalosangeles.org, now features the feed from the SCAnner. Links appear at the bottom of the leftmost column. Click on any headline and you’re redirected to the SCAnner site.
