Deciding to skip Black Friday for now? Family's getting a little too much already to handle? How about being bored out of your mind because there's not much you've planned right after Thanksgiving Day? There's a good reason we continue the tradition of having the Men's Mul...ticultural Group to meet up this time of the year. And, we're extremely grateful that we're being hosted by no other than our very own Steve for this blessed event.
So, come out to Benicia, and bring your leftovers with you. Let's share an evening of fun and excitement together as we figure out the many ways we actually thank ourselves. It's always nice to thank others, but it's most important that we learn how to appreciate ourselves first.
Positive energy and the spirit of gratitude should dominate us for this meeting.
You can either call Tristan's cell phone number at (925) 984-3728 or Steve's home phone number at (707) 746-6290 to get the rest of the information and confirm for sure as well.
See you all there.

The Men's Multicultural Group is a monthly men's group aimed to promote multiculturalism through discussion meetings and similar activities.

While Halloween is by far the gayest holiday of the year... there is something about the Holiday Season that just gets our designer undies in a twist. We rush around shopping, decorating, bedazzling and gaying up everything in site... and there isnt a thing wrong with it! It's the only time of year that men openly sing... in public and put shining things up all over their homes... so why not join in?
Tonight we will discuss our favorite Holiday memories, family traditions, best gifts we have ever recieved... and maybe even the scary memories of spending Xmas with the in-laws?
So bring a snack to share and put on your Gayest holiday sweater (totally optional of course) and get your butts down to the RCC for an evening of yuletide merriment.

With unemployment on the rise, more and more people losing their homes, and people all around us dying... there are a lot of things to feel sad about. However, there are still many reasons to be thankful.
For some its having a home over their heads, a supportive family, an amazing boyfriend, partner or Husband, or even ...a good friend... but maybe its the little things that make you thankful... coffee with an old friend, finding $5 in a pair of jeans or perhaps a sale at Joann fabrics (no wait, that's what Im thankful for!)
No matter what you are thankful for, be sure to give thanks. And tonight is your chance. We will discuss the many things we have to be thankful for... and come up with some ways to give back to our community. Volunteering at a foodbank or donating to a Canned Food drive... helping a friend move or just giving them a place to stay while they get on their feet. Each of us have the power to make a difference.

The boys of Brotherhood offLiNe, had a blast over at the “Sanctuary of Evil”, located in Oakley, California. As we brave the night of the haunted house (only 2 or 3 people at a time), you first find yourself trying to find away out of a black hole, then get lost in the corn maze. Wi...

Wearing Masks and makeup on Halloween is fun... but some of us still wear a "mask" on a daily basis to hide who we really are. Some are afraid of rejection, of prej...udice... perhaps they arent ready to share who they truly are.
Whatever the reasons, the days of hiding are over. And tonight we will discuss the pros and cons.
Please bring a photo of your favorite Halloween Costume from the past... I cant wait to see!
