HMEUC is a not for profit corporation with registered charity status. This benefit allows our group and its members to qualify and apply for government grants and loans. Also, we are recognized as a viable entity and can enter into contracts and legal agreements. Our organization can also give out official income tax receipts for donations made to the HMEUC.
HMEUC has period historical equipment that is available to its members upon request and approval. Including tents, cannons, flags, accouterments and other historic period goods and wares.
HMEUC has a great liability insurance policy through the National Firearms Association that covers its members and volunteers for up to 5 million. Members are insured as individuals and are not governed by group sanctioned events or which uniform they are wearing. Members can attend any historical event they wish in any time period and will always be covered.
HMEUC has many opportunities to employ members and re-enactors through education programs, interpretive, public events, special events and the movie industry. We also co-ordinate and organize re-enactment events in partnership with historic sites, organizations and municipalities.
