[ExilesAnnounce] Val is our new Ms. San Francisco Leather!

[Rio Spooner]

Dear friends,

Val Langmuir, the Exiles Orientation Officer, has won the title of Ms. San
Francisco Leather!

Val came out into kink in 1991 in London, and helped organize the first UK
SM Pride. She moved to San Francisco and joined The Exiles in 1997, and has
served as our Membership officer (2004-2007), Co-coordinator (2007-2011),
and Orientation officer (2012-present). She has represented the club at
CUAV SafetyFest, BUTCH Voices, and the Frameline and QWOCMAP film
festivals. Val has also coordinated demos for Leather Alley at SF Pride for
the past 2 years. Val is married to Marilyn, and is a polyamorous
genderqueer switch with a fondness for canes.
We were thrilled to watch her in the contest, and justifiably proud that
she won. We celebrated with a Victory brunch at Wicked Grounds on Sunday,
and a beverage bust at the Eagle that afternoon.

Once again, congratulations to Val!

Best wishes,
Rio

Co-coordinator, the Exiles
Planning Committee, Northwest Leather Celebration
