Hey there folks,<br>
<br>
It's time, once again, for the SF Leather Community Awards
nominations. <br>
<br>
Here's the deal, our club, collectively, gets to fill out one
nomination form. So please either come to The Exiles program this
Friday to record your nominations in person or simply shoot me an
email to make your voice heard. I will tally the votes of all
Exiles members and submit the names of your top three choices in
each category.<br>
<br>
Please respond as soon as you can because I must submit our votes by
this Friday night, immediately following the program. <br>
<br>
