Message from the Chairman

Brothers, Another year is behind us and I am hoping the new one brings each of you closer to your goals and to the ones you love. December was a month of contrasts for me, both ups and downs. I was asked to speak at the roast of Race Bannon, an Honorary member of the 15 and community luminary, which was decidedly out of my comfort zone, but I did my homework, and thanks to a moment of inspiration on the BART ride back from the gym I think I did alright. Okay, I am actually pleased with what I did up on stage. I now understand what a rush it can be when the audience is with you, laughing and cheering. I’d spent nearly the entire week working on it and as exhilarating as it was it was also quite draining, so although I was able to make it to the 15 Holiday Party, I did not stay long. I did have time to witness one beautiful scene, enjoy some cookies and ogle the elves, who were happily spreading holiday cheer wherever they could. I won’t speak of the downs I had. I know each of you has their own burdens and wouldn’t want to add mine to your load. Anniversary is fast approaching and BootCamp reservations should be going on sale soon. I’m sure the party committee has its share of surprises lined up as well. Also, dues are... due. I’d like to remind you all that our monthly fraternal meetings are open to all members and a link is posted in the events calendar on our website. 2025 was a difficult year for many of us and I wish you all a better 2026.

“Try Something New” Play Party

Saturday, January 17th, from 6pm to 11pm
Transform1060, 1060 Folsom St, SF

Stuck in a rut with your kinky play? Doing the same thing over and over? Expand your kink repertoire and Try Something New! We encourage you to bring new toys or gear (that you got for Christmas?) to incorporate into your scenes, as Top or bottom. Or come ready to ask to be introduced to some type of play that you’ve never done before and are curious about. To support those who want to “Try Something New,” we will provide large cards that you can wear around your neck, on which you can shout out your requests and/or offerings. Walk around and see who lights up at your wish list. Or ask one of our hosts to point you towards someone who matches your interests. Cum on down to 1060 Transform, and start your year off with a new bang!

Sober Leathermen – Find Recovery at Leather Events

The soberleathermen.org website was born out of the desire to connect people to sobriety at leather events. While the focus is on gay leathermen, we hope that people of all gender identities will find the website helpful when navigating sobriety in leather spaces.

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

Leather 12 Step Recovery

For those who are in recovery from addiction, there is a Zoom Leather Recovery group that meets several times a week. Not affiliated with AA/NA/Al-Anon and established over the pandemic, it is an open 12-step meeting for those who are in our community and wish to meet with and be supported by like-minded individuals who understand their kink & fetish interests and how those can interact with recovery.

To inquire, email zoomleatherrecovery@gmail.com for more information.

The group meets on:
Monday @ 5:30pm
Tuesday & Thursday @ 6pm
Sunday @ 10am
