Maui BDSM

Aloha all,

To keep our play space fully stocked with the essentials, we are asking that each person donate an item from the following list to keep our supply updated. Everyone uses these items in one capacity or another and they are a service to our community. All items are kept in storage for events at Da Shop only.

Please bring an item to the next play party or class along with your food contribution to Da Shop or next gathering.

Items we are always in need of:

- Plastic Utensils (spoons, knives, forks)
- Paper Plates (any sizes)
- Paper Towels
- Toilet Paper
- Anti-bacterial Soap (liquid)
- Napkins
- Antibacterial Wipes (for cleaning toys and furniture)
- Extra towels and wash clothes (old, clean ones are fine - used for wax play, wiping toys down, etc)
- Rubbing Alcohol
- Band-aids (different sizes)

Also, feel free to bring your seldom used or old toys and costumes/clothing to the play parties and events to share with the community and add to our "Community Toy Box" which can be used at events for those who want to play but don't have any toys with them, or to try out new sizes and styles, or if you see something you like, take it home and experiment with it!

***Please only bring items that have been thoroughly cleaned and/or not exposed to bodily fluids. Think --- whips, chains, cuffs, paddles and the like. No knives or vampire gloves***

You can bring toy donations at any time to events and give them to myself or Bob to be put on the toy rack.

If you think of other items you would like to donate, please contact me via email to make sure that we don't already have a large supply of said item - carolinaseyes@yahoo.com

Thank you all for your support.

The twice monthly Wednesday evening gatherings being held by Jim & Elon are suspended for now, unless somebody else would like to continue with this event. Or maybe you would like to start a new event of your own... Anyway, Elon will be off island for quite some time and I've decided that in the absence of her physical presence & support that I'm taking a break.

For a couple of reasons, I have deactivated email notifications from this site. The main reason is that spammers seem to have found us, and they are posting spam to our forums. It is easy enough to just delete the spam posts, but with the automatic notifications turned on, everyone has already gotten their spam in email. The other reason is that Hotmail and Yahoo consider all email from this site to be spam anyway, and I am hoping if we don't send email for a while, they will forget about it. Then maybe a revamped notification thing can be put in place.

Hotmail and Yahoo mail have stopped accepting email from this site. If you would like to receive notification of events or other new posts on this site, you will need to use a different email address. Gmail seems to be working fine. Yahoo and Hotmail seem to have decided that the notifications are spam. I talked to someone at Hotmail (Microsoft), who removed us from their spam lists, but a few days later we are blacklisted again. I haven't got the time or energy to keep convincing corporate drones that BDSM does not equal spam.

As a community, we are able to pool our resources and knowledge and experience things that we are unable to as individuals. This month MauiBDSM will have two world renowned educators in the BDSM community travel to teach classes on Maui, something some of us would only be able to attend by traveling to the Mainland. There is also the added pleasure of being a part of a group or Ohana that we can relax and be ourselves knowing that most believe in "my kink is okay, your kink is okay"
