Jess, Amanda, and Matt would like to invite you all to MCC's Gay-Straight Alliance Game Night. It will be Saturday, March 6th at 7pm, at Matt's house in Wailuku. It's a potluck BBQ, so bring something to eat or drink, as well as any games you'd like to play. This is a school-sponsored event, so we would appreciate keeping it sober. Likewise, this is not a kink community event. If you have any questions, want to coordinate what to bring, or need help arranging a ride, contact Jess at queerfriendly@gmail.com.

Munches are a basic step in meeting up with a BDSM community. It's safe, casual, and there is no committing to anything. All you have to do is show up, maybe have something to eat, and maybe make some new friends.
They don't exist for picking people up, but they do exist so people with a common interest can connect.

Maui BDSM holds its monthly munch on the 3rd Saturday of every month at Queen Kaahumanu Center in the food court. We chose this as a safe, open, and casual place for us to meet up. If someone doesn't want to immediately join the group, there are plenty of tables nearby to watch from before stepping up. Many of our members did just that when they first came out to a munch.

So come on out and have some dinner with some interesting people. Wear your mall clothes as it is the mall.

Come find us next to Edo Japan at 6pm, in the side dining area, or out in the main dining area. You'll spot the group of people with black and purple balloons on the table.
