Message from the Chairman

Gentlemen, I hope to see many of you at Saratoga Springs for Bootcamp XXX. I have a feeling that this is going to be one for the history books. Speaking of history, the club has turned over its archives to the GLBT Historical Society. With a generous check, thanks to the fundraising at the Anniversary XXXVIII dinner, our history should be properly archived and shelved in a year. We will continue to work with the Historical Society in the future as we document our important club for future generations and historians. In other fundraising news; Thanks to everyone who helped sell jello-shots or raffle tickets at our recent beer bust. This was our most successful beer bust since the SF Eagle, our home bar, re-opened five years ago. Eric See Chairman

Looking Ahead to Dore Alley

It’s almost here, that time of the year when the locals as well as out of town guests, gather and celebrate. The GGG have a Leather Cruise, the men of BLUF hold a uniform dinner and The 15 Association holds a hot Play Party. Remember that Play Party tickets must be PRE-Purchased beforehand and will NOT be sold at the door. Members can access tickets on line as of June 1 and Guests can access on line tickets as of July 1.

In addition The 15 Association will be hosting an outdoor Dungeon at Dore Alley on Sunday July 29. If you missed the party on Saturday or still want more play this is your opportunity!

Attention Volunteers: ABC Training Opportunity

Soon, SF Gay Pride, Dore Alley Fair, and Folsom Street Fair will be here, and that means Beer Booth time. Though The 15 Association isn’t hosting a booth, other organizations like the Golden Gate Guards and the Alameda County Leather Corp are hosting and need volunteers to assist their clubs. Volunteering your time is a generous act that will help raise funds for local charities in San Francisco, Alameda County and beyond like the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom (NCSF) and the Leather Archives and Museum (LA&M). Not to mention the grateful heart-felt thanks from the hosting club who have to spent hours acquiring the booth, gathering the necessary supplies and snacks to feed and hydrate their volunteers, as well as finding ways to certify all their volunteers.

That being said, you will need an ABC (Alcohol Beverage Control) card to work in the booth. ABC cards are valid for three years from the training date.

If you need a new card because you never had one or it’s expired, you can register at pride-beverages.com for any of the scheduled FREE trainings, including both San Francisco and Oakland:

• Saturday, June 16th 10am @ SF Women’s Building Auditorium, 3543 18th Street, San Francisco
• Saturday, June 16th 2pm @ Club 21, 2111 Franklin Street, Oakland
• Monday, June 18th 7pm @ The First Unitarian Universalist Society of San Francisco TSK Room, 1187 Franklin Street, San Francisco
• Wednesday, June 20th 7pm @ The First Unitarian Universalist Society of San Francisco TSK Room, 1187 Franklin Street, San Francisco

Hello Theater Lovers...

Let Curtain Call Theatre entertain you this Summer with one of the most hilarious plays to date.

Before James Bond, before Austin Powers, before Clouseau, there was Captain Hugh “Bullshot” Crummond. This dashing, determined, deliriously funny detective is a former Olympic champion, flying ace, auto racer, and all-round sporting chap who fights the forces of evil wherever he encounters them.

When a beautiful damsel in distress asks him to rescue her scientist father, who was abducted and is being held prisoner, Bullshot leaps into action against his arch-nemesis, the devious Count Otto Von Brunno.

What ensues is a hilarious “tour-de-farce” in this rapid British comedy classic presented in “Steam Punk” style and over-the-top elegance!

Join us for an evening of fun and frolic with this comedy full of zany characters and fast action, with a laugh-a-second timing and gags. Suitable for the whole family.

10 Performances only, starting June 1 and ending June 23 with our traditional fund-raising Champagne Buffet Gala ($50 Donation). Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 3pm, $20 General and $15 Students/Seniors 60+ Except Gala on June 23.

Don’t miss this Summer Special. Reserve your seats now. Call 707-524-8739.

Thank you.
Michael.
