One of SAS/M's stated purpose is to support the community by
supporting other groups. Through it's web presence, newsletter, and
munch announcements, SAS/M seeks to inform it's membership of all the
other events, groups, and resources that are available to them in San
Antonio and the region. Most recently, the board of SAS/M has
created a beginner's corner --- a portable A frame for displaying
flyers and pamphlets about local groups and businesses. New munch
visitors can visit the portable kiosk and learn about other
opportunities for kink in the River City. We encourage all local
groups to send or bring us their literature so that we can make it
available for reading and retrieving at our munches.
In related news, the Board of SAS/M is trying to make the announcement
period at our munches more substantial and faster. Visitors have
commented that the announcements drag a bit and that they cover
information that is freely available in our newsletter and off links
on our web site. The majority of our munch attendees who attend
regularly are already familiar with the groups and resources
available. So in effort to make the announcement more substantial,
informative, and pleasant we will be trying a new policy: We ask that
other groups send us a short description of their group, their
purpose, their regular meeting times for reoccurring activities, and
contact information. We ask that the information fit on one side of
a 3 x 5 index card. The SAS/M officer presenting the announcements
will read from the card. If there are representatives from the group
present, we'll point them out for the benefit of people who want to
learn more.
Exceptions will be made for annual or semiannual events such as the
GWNN Birthday Bash. Representatives from the group are welcome make
their own prepared announcement about non-reoccurring activities.
