Groovy Halloween Party!Don’t miss the next party on December the First! Playing SafeThe safety and First Aid seminar was a great learning time. First, we had a lecture on First Aid, presented by John. This included the use of a visual aid to show how to keep airways clear. Next, Robert covered the safety aspect of BDSM, from the Dungeon Master’s viewpoint. Last, but not least, Gary talked about using safewords when necessary. These are all things that it is necessary for anyone involved in BDSM to be familiar with. Perhaps in the future, we could have a seminar devoted to just safety and another one devoted to first aid. We can use all the in-depth info we can get on these subjects. (I’m not ignoring the safewords...I figure they are an integral part of safety.) Don’t miss the next seminar: “Bondage.” Don’t know who is giving it, but do know I haven’t been asked to volunteer to be bound...Rats!!! Last Night…by Master Dennis The silent darkness
of my self-inflicted exile The only thing worse than the pain from your Master/Mistress’ punishing hand is the pain of having it withdrawn. Board Members

Just a reminder: This is a social event, a group of equals meeting equals to discuss mutual topics of interest. The munch is not the right time to try out your new topping or bottoming skills, or to show off that great new outfit. That's better done in our party settings. The munch is geared to support, making friends, and getting to know others who may well be candidates for play at a later date.
