MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD
We were absolutely delighted by Back Alley, Denver, 2022. After a hiatus due to the pandemic, this event came back stronger than ever, boldly spanning 2 days packed with demos, entertainment, shopping, chance drawings, an after party, and a beer bust.
We saw roughly 1,500 attendees pass through the doors of Trade, and got to show off more than 20 organizations and vendors. More than 2 dozen volunteers helped provide entertainment and keep things running smoothly. Between donations, beer bust proceeds, and chance drawing tickets, the Rocky Mountain Leather Alliance raised over $3,000 that we can use to further our mission and values.
It is important to use that we continue to be able to provide free and low-cost opportunities for people to engage with the leather, BDSM, kink, and fetish communities. Moving forward, we’re going to keep our own events going while focusing on what we can do to help other groups form, grow, and succeed.
It is a very bright time for the Rocky Mountain Leather Alliance. With the support of folks who are generous enough to donate their time, we have a lot of possibilities on the horizon. I hope you are as excited as I am about that.
Daniel Barnes (he/him)
President, Rocky Mountain Leather Alliance
