SgoL May 2012 President's Message

Happy Spring! The girls are seriously springing into action with their community service. Last month we debuted our back patch and the girls are eager to earn one of their own. Some of the requirements to earning a back patch besides being a full member is that you have to attend ten SgoL events and take lead on a project. So, suffice it to say, we have a lot planned for our very near future.
Saturday, the 12th of May, our girl ReeseyMay has spearheaded our presence and service at the CSPC’s Health Sexuality Day. It’s from 10am – 2pm and it’s highly encouraged to schedule your mammogram ahead of time. This will also be the kick off to our towel drive for the Salvation Army Women’s Shelter. The drive is being led by Passion. Please bring a towel, a smile, and some questions because this is sure to be an educationally fun event.
On Earth Day the girls attended a stewardship day at the Longhouse and helped to get the grounds in shape for this summer’s upcoming Paradise Unbound campout. The stewardship fell on a brilliantly warm day and we felt energized by the scintillating power of the sun and sprit from our Mother Earth. The Longhouse is a spiritual property and I surely felt a higher purpose while planting my first tree.
The last two invasions planned by our Lady Vi were a total blast! On St. Patrick’s Day the girls got gussied up and went bowling for our Leather Leprechaun Invasion of the The Garage on Capitol Hill. While bowling shoes are not the hottest, it sure didn’t stop the giggles and squeals! Yes we can throw strike outs in miniskirts! In April, we invaded Bar Myx’s kink night in Everett. There were rafters, stripper poles, and even a St. Andrews to boot. They are sure to still be talking about us in Everett. Soooo much fun!
We had our second slumber party Easter Weekend. The bad little bunnies found Easter eggs with hidden messages telling them to do something naughty and nice. There were prizes, cake, and boat loads of cackles!
SavannaLurve is organizing a painting party and placing an order for some lovely Leather girl corsets from the magnificent Ms. Martha. The girls will be taking the kitchen at the Salvation Army’s Women Shelter on Capitol Hill from a pea green to beautiful beige.
The Producers Collective has named The Seattle girls of Leather the beneficiary of their annual fundraiser. We will be at Neighbors Night Club on Thursday, June 14th from 7:00- 10:00pm. This will be the official Pride Kickoff party for The Seattle Girls of Leather and the end of our towel drive. $5 off admission if you bring a bath towel.
On March 25th, WSMLO gave the Leather Emerald Award to us for our extraordinary support, efforts and extended contributions to the Washington State Leather Community. We are truly honored and offer most sincere thanks. We love our community and will continue to serve it with our great girl sprit.
Keep your ears and eyes peeled for our presence at Seattle’s Pride and Slutwalk, a bikini car wash, a Leather girl calendar, and oil wrestling!
SgoL was started in order to bring together like minded Leathergirls, providing a safe space where we could come, ask questions, socialize together, provide service to the community and have light hearted camaraderie. SgoL has adapted almost everything we have from the SFgoL. While we are a club, we are still a professional organization and will continue to carry ourselves as such. We might not be a good fit for everyone, but we sure hope that we can bestow you with a smile or two. September will mark a year in service for the SgoL. We have grown, changed, and adapted so much in just eight short months. I love and adore what the club has grown into and I look forward to what the future has in store for us.
In Leather,
Candace Cantrell
