Community dinners are a cornerstone of connection, creating spaces where food becomes the universal language that bridges cultures and lifestyles. The Leather Family Social is designed to nurture our leather fetish community by fostering conversation and friendships over shared meals. Imagine these gatherings unfolding across the United States and beyond, providing a welcoming table for locals and travelers alike.
Leather Family Dinner
How to Host a Leather Family Dinner:
Venue Selection
Approach a restaurant—preferably one that is LGBTQIA+ friendly—about hosting a group of 15 to 40 people on a slower evening. Opt for a venue that offers both dining and lounge areas, allowing guests to mingle for an hour before the meal. This flexibility accommodates those who might only wish to socialize.
Community Giving
Negotiate with the restaurant to donate 10% of the evening's proceeds to a charity of your choice or to contribute a gift card for a raffle. Alternatively, consider purchasing a gift card to raffle off, covering the cost from the proceeds.
Scheduling
Set the date at least six weeks in advance to allow ample time for promotion and planning.
Promotion
Create a dedicated Facebook page and event to spread the word. Share your story and the significance of these gatherings to encourage participation.
Personal Invitations
Send out invites and personal messages to potential attendees, emphasizing the importance of their presence.
Engage with Community Segments
Arrange one-on-one meetings with different groups within the leather community to understand and incorporate their perspectives, ensuring an inclusive and diverse environment.
Local Business Engagement
Secure discounts and coupons from local businesses to include in envelopes at each setting, demonstrating community support and offering direct marketing opportunities. Include a thank you note explaining the value of fellowship in strengthening community ties.
Final Push
As the event date approaches, increase your outreach efforts as many will make their attendance decisions last minute.
Charitable Involvement
Consult with community segments you've engaged with for charity nominations and hold a public drawing at the dinner to determine the recipient. This inclusivity can boost attendance and commitment to future events.
Financial Transparency
Arrange for the restaurant to send the charity donation directly, confirming receipt to ensure transparency.
Event Follow-Up
Post an event recap on Facebook detailing the amount raised, the charity supported, and expressing gratitude to the community for their participation.
