interested in joining The Exiles, that's okay. </font><font size="4" color="#000000">In
the Orientation, we'll cover the basics of several different kinds of
BDSM play. While this by no means will make you a BDSM expert, we want
to emphasize that keeping you safe - and keeping those you play with
safe - is an important goal of The Exiles. <br>

$10.00 to help with the rental cost for the room (no one turned away
for lack of funds). In exchange, we'll give you a free pass to an
Exiles monthly program. To make things faster and easier on everyone,
bring small bills if you can. You <span>must</span> bring a legal picture ID with you, for age verification.</font></p>
