MLW XXII BIG SUCCESS

October 27, 2018/in News /by Rick Conley

525 leather-folk were on hand for the 22nd Annual Mates Leather Weekend in Provincetown, MA September 27 – October 1 and by all accounts had a great time. The event raised $5,252. for the AIDS Support Group of Cape Cod, bringing our total to date over $66,000. MLW’s annual Clothes Drive brought in a basket full of clothes which were donated to Ruthie’s Boutique, Provincetown’s Thrift Store, whose profits go to local charities. In addition, 29 men took part in ASGCC’s Free Health Screening throughout the weekend. These men deserve our respect and admiration for taking such a proactive approach in maintaining their good health and the health of their partners.

About Mates

A kick-back, have a good time, meet some hot new friends weekend for those who want to hang out, socialize, relax or party with other like-minded people in Leather, Rubber and Uniforms.

Mates Leather Weekend is brought to you by Rick Conley, longtime Provincetown resident and leatherman. I want to thank all MLW sponsors, friends and past participants who have contributed to the success of Mates Leather Weekend. I’m grateful for all the new friends that I’ve made along the way.

I take great pride in the quality of men and women that attend MLW. There is no attitude here, just folks that are down-to-earth, friendly, and nice to look at. It takes a lot of effort to put on an event like this. I hope you enjoy it.

This event was a BLAST. I had more fun & met more sociable MEN here than I have ever met at any other event or venue. See you again in 08. Rick, you've done a superb job!

You've done it again! Another hot, fucking Mates Weekend. An awesome X Anniversary! I had a great time and definitely lost any inhibitions -- to say the least -- met some friendly, very playful guys and got to wear leather all weekend. Looking forward to next time!
