<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">We are so excited to announce that we have just launched our Exiles Patreon page:</span></p><p class="p1"><a href="http://www.patreon.com/theexilessf">http://www.patreon.com/theexilessf</a></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Patreon is based on the concept of having supporters, the patrons, for creators of all types, allowing patrons to sign up for a monthly subscription based on donation levels. In this case, the Exiles is the “creator” of your kinky community!</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The money provided by patrons directly supports our mission, to provide educational programs and special events. Patrons at every level will receive Exiles-branded schwag (pins, patches, t-shirts, etc), and at higher contribution levels there are additional benefits such as free entry to local events (like the Ms. SF Leather and Leather Alliance Weekend). If you value the educational programs and special events that The Exiles provides for our community in SF and beyond, we need your pledge now. Support us at the level you can!</span></p><p class="p1"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">We need your support because the cost of our programs has skyrocketed as space in San Francisco has gotten scarcer and more expensive. For example, our meeting space rental has increased by 225% in 2 years, and storage cost for our equipment has increased 300% in 5 years. </span></p><p class="p1">In honor of IMsLBB weekend, anyone who becomes an Exiles patron before midnight (pacific time) this Sunday, April 14th, will receive patron gifts for the next level up from the level at which they pledge. So sign up soon!</p><p class="p1"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><a href="http://www.patreon.com/theexilessf">http://www.patreon.com/theexilessf</a></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span class="s2">Thank you to all of our patrons for your ongoing support. </span><span class="s1">We truly couldn't do this without you! </span></span></p>
