Message from the Chairman

Gentlemen, Anniversary month is upon us. Thirty-nine years ago, this month, our organization was founded. I don’t know how many of the original founders thought that the organization would be as active and healthy today with well over 150 members and monthly play parties, but we must be doing something right. If you haven’t renewed your membership yet, this is a good month to do that in. And if you are having financial hardships, don’t let that stop you. We still need your energy and spirit in the club. If you haven’t purchased your anniversary dinner tickets yet, we still have a few weeks before our anniversary weekend, and there are still a small amount of tickets left (over 118 folks are attending so far!), so don’t delay. See you at all of the weekend festivities! Eric See Chairman

Membership Renewal

ATTENTION: ALL MEMBERS!

How to RENEW your membership in The 15 Association:

Please go to 15sf.org. Click “Renew Membership” in the “Members Only” section on the left of the page. Fill out the form as directed, submit payment and you are done for another year of monthly play parties, the Anniversary Banquet/Auction and parties February 22-24, BootCamp June 12-16, Associates Weekend, Dore Alley & Folsom Fair Play Parties, and our other events. Thank you for your renewal!

PLEASE NOTE: Nobody is turned away for lack of funds. If the $60 renewal cost is an issue at this point, you can just click on “Request Assistance” on the Renewal form, and state why you need assistance. You can also contact the Membership Chair via the website. (Click “Contact Us” under the Main Menu.) Choose “Membership Chair” and send a message. We will make arrangements to defer or waive your membership dues as needed. One of our funds, the Jones Fund, helps members with dues when his finances are strained. Names of those receiving a subsidy are always kept private.

Silent Auction donation request

Once again, it’s that time of year again to raid your dungeon closets and storage spaces for donations for the 15 Association anniversary silent auction. We are looking for your old toys, gear, art work or anything else leather/kink related that you’re willing to part with. All profits go to helping run the club and continue putting on our events. All donations are greatly appreciated. If you have something that you are graciously willing to donate, please e-mail or text me and we can arrange a pick up time.

Thank you,
Your brother,
Dustin Yeager
