LOCATION: Contact DoriamFMSD@GMail.com

DESCRIPTION: We are happy to have our second event at our SECURED Workshop Space in Hillcrest! We had a successful Fire Play Workshop there last month. C'mon back to attend our first Male-Only Potluck Social at that location.

Q: What should I bring?

A: Cups, plates/bowls, and eating tools will be provided. In an effort for this not being a desert buffet bar, please bring entrees, salads, and non-alcoholic beverages. Scott will bring his triple chocolate bundt cake and if you have a non-chocolate dessert you are compelled to bring, please do so!

Q: What else should I bring?

Bring some toys if you like. Maybe there will be some opportunity to share what you know and demonstrate it. They will at least be a conversation starter.

A: As always, Street Legal to the door. Bring a towel or two for the pool and hot tub, Bathing Suit if you wish, although nudity is OK. The outdoor shower should be used before you get into the pool or hot tub.

Q: Where is this place?

A: The location is being kept private until 48 hours prior to the event per the owners request so contact Doriam directly for the address.

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to email Doriam at DoriamFMSD@GMail.com! Care to attend but not sure what to bring, or afraid of your own cooking?

Hello Gents! Thank you again for supporting us in our endeavors to grow this club and brotherhood! I would love to hear more from you as we continue to grow. I understand than many men avoid using Facebook as a means for communication as we continue forward, however it is my only means of effective communication in collecting data for future workshops and events. As of right now, we have run two polls for Party Frequency and Workshop topics, if you have not voted or did not see these polls because you aren't on Facebook, please email me and let me know your thoughts! I am open to other suggestions for better communication methods for these polls! We are currently thinking about 4 parties each year (2 Large, 2 Small), and the top votes for workshops are Bondage Based and Body Workship/Torture based.

Also, we are looking for more venues for socials and events. We would like eventually to host up to 4 events each month with FMSD including a Social, a Workshop, and Discussion Group and a "Special" event each month. For that, we need space to do so, if you know of ANY spaces that may be willing to accommodate us, reach out to me by emailing: DoriamFMSD@GMail.com

Lastly, keep an eye out for another blog post coming shortly! It goes over our NEW Volunteer Program, and the perks that come with being a volunteer! Expect that in your Inboxes within the next 48hours if you are subscribed to this blog!

In Service,
