No on-site Registration

December 7th, 2021

Please be aware that there is currently no on-site registration.

We used to have a laptop that people who were bringing guests who were not in our system could use to enter their vital information, and the Front Desk could then retrieve it and print a Release Form for them to sign. Unfortunately, we've had three laptops stolen within the past year, and are no longer equipped for doing on-site registration.

So, make sure your guests are registered in our system before coming to an event.

Our apologies, but this is non-negotiable.

Message from the Chairman

Dear Brothers,

It was a pleasure to welcome and speak with so many of you at The 15’s 44th Anniversary celebration weekend. I received a lot of feedback and everyone generally seemed to have a great weekend on whole.

I am compelled to address the major complaint many of you had regarding our Anniversary Dinner. While the feedback I received on the event was overwhelmingly positive, the quality and quantity of the meal itself disappointed many. I want to assure you that it disappointed many of us on the Fraternal Committee as well.

Foremost, I take responsibility for our failure. Though there were unforeseen circumstances which I will briefly detail below, the buck stops with me as your Chairman and I sincerely apologize.

During the past week, we spent substantial time investigating exactly what went wrong and, more importantly, how to minimize the chance it will at a future event. Our conclusion is that while our caterer made some preventable errors, the bulk of the fault fell upon our venue. When our caterer arrived at the venue, the main ovens were not functioning. While the venue managed to light an aging, smaller oven, that oven had no temperature control or thermostat. This led to a cascade of mishaps from not being able to put out enough appetizers to lukewarm/tough entrees to inadequate side dishes. We are engaging the venue with our grievances. Our caterer passes along their apologies as well.

Again, none of this is your fault. It is the Club’s responsibility to ensure you have a great experience — and mine to keep us on that track.

The Fraternal Committee met this week to discuss how to ensure these errors do not repeat during Boot Camp. Though the venue and environment are different, we recognize that it is our first time in nearly three decades with a new caterer and that there are risks. We are doing everything we can to make sure those risks are minimized; we are committed to continuing the reputation of Boot Camp as having the best food of any leather run around.

I hope to see many of you at our March St. Paddles Day play party and at Associates’ Weekend in April.

In your service,
Christopher Wood
Chairman, The 15 Association

BootCamp XXXIV

Dear Brothers:

Boot Camp is The 15 Association’s annual run to the country, taking place from Saturday afternoon, June 22 to Thursday morning, June 27. We take over a beautiful Lake County resort (cabins, bunk rooms and camping accommodations) with two indoor play spaces and two outdoor play spaces. Though June can be a bit cool both swimming pool and hot tub are available for Boot Campers’ enjoyment.

Run fees cover housing, food, soft drinks and beer. There are also some annual activities, which are not officially scheduled, but nonetheless traditional (and optional). A chain gang, afternoon cocktail party, fetish flea, and single tail practice have been events in past years. Two or three work shifts are expected from all in attendance.

The atmosphere is very relaxed, with an attitude of brotherly friendship pervading the proceedings.

The Guest/Member Run Fees: $925/$875 for a space in a Private Room; $825/$775 for a space in a Bunk Room; or, $700/$650 for a Camping space. Private Room spaces are full with a Waitlist now but Bunk and Camping are still available.

Boot Camp is for 15 Association Members and their invited Guests only, so in order to participate in the Run, you would need to be sponsored by a Member.

Transportation to and from the run are not included in run fees but can be requested during registration. Early requests are more likely accommodated versus late requests.

If you have further questions, feel free to get back to me with them.

Jeff Garner,
Boot Camp Committee Chairman
