No on-site Registration
Please be aware that there is currently no on-site registration.
We used to have a laptop that people who were bringing guests who were not in our system could use to enter their vital information, and the Front Desk could then retrieve it and print a Release Form for them to sign. Unfortunately, we've had three laptops stolen within the past year, and are no longer equipped for doing on-site registration.
So, make sure your guests are registered in our system before coming to an event.
Our apologies, but this is non-negotiable.

Message from the Chairman
|
Brothers, Thank you to the 50+ of you who showed up to the SF Eagle for our June Social & Welcome Party! We had a fantastic time bonding with old friends and making new ones. We plan to host more regular social events in the future. There is still limited time to register for Boot Camp. If you want to spend a few days in the mountains with us doing wonderfully horrible things with one another, now is your final opportunity. Advance ticket registration is open for members for our infamous Dore Alley Play Party. Guests may register starting July 1. This party will sell out and tickets will NOT be available at the door. During the Dore Alley Fair itself, we will be hosting our annual open-air dungeon again. Please stop by! Men, it is with humility that I have decided to resign as your Chairman effective at the end of the day on 6/20, the opening day of Boot Camp. I began serving in this role while the COVID pandemic was raging with the focus of helping the Club emerge strong and lively. Over the years, I met certain goals including modernizing anniversary weekend and creating a better environment for the inclusion of our trans brothers and non-binary members. The 15 Association has a robust team of leaders and it is time for me to step aside to let new voices guide our future. We are in good hands and we each stand in the gigantic boot steps of our leather elders. This timing allows our future Chairman to get his feet solidly on the ground before the busy season of planning for next year begins. I plan to remain on the Fraternal Committee and focus my efforts on social and special events and on media outreach to new prospective members. Thank you to each and every one of you for allowing me the great pleasure of serving you, my leather family. With love in leather, |

Sober Leathermen – Find Recovery at Leather Events

This website is not affiliated with any event, meeting, or fellowship.
