A new Title family was chosen for their time with the sash. We welcome and congratulate the new International LeatherSIR, SIR Alan Penrod of Atlanta GA, International Leatherboy, pup Nitro, also of Atlanta GA and International Community Bootblack, Luna, of Alameda CA. We are very proud of them and have every confidence in their talents and abilities to carry the flame forward.

ILSb continues to grow with great energy and excitement. With growing comes pain at times. Because of existing contractual obligations with the Holiday Inn Golden Gate, the move of our event to Dallas TX, has been postponed till the summer of 2013. We are looking to returning to San Francisco again in 2012. For more information regarding next year's event, be sure to visit us at any of our Internet properties:

With expansion comes the people needed to make things happen. We welcome Stephen Palaschak of Phoenix AZ, McG of Toronto CA and SIR Tony Palazzo also of Toronto CA, to our Executive Board. They bring their talent and experience to the organization, helping make it stronger and more successful.

We're very proud to announce the revival of the Rocky Mountain Region. Encompassing the states of Colorado, Utah, Nevada and Wyoming, we're confident this region will thrive under their new Regional Producer, Brian Conway. In our regional realignment, the state of Oklahoma returns to the Gulf Coast region and the Southwest now includes Arizona and New Mexico. Daddy Eric Siglin has stepped up and will be taking over the Florida region. Still more big changes! California has been split into the Northern and Southern California regions. Northern California has been placed in the very capable hands of Deborah Isadora of San Francisco CA. In addition we welcome an ILSb Alum to the production family, SIR Joee Arteaga. He will be taking the helm of the Northern Plains region. Thank you and welcome to these amazing Leather people. We currently have Producer slots available in the Central Plains and Southern California regions. If you have an interest in joining our production family, please contact us.

We're growing and continuing to improve our organization and its efforts to effectively represent the Players in the Gay Leather & Pansexual Bootblack Communities. ILSb/ICBB's mission is to "Honor the Past, Play in the Present and Build the Future." To achieve this, we need people dedicated to the protection and perpetuation of our ideals. On that note, we want to thank SIR Jack Pearce and Master Top and slave bonnie for their years of dedicated service to LeatherSIR family. They have chosen to step back and take a well deserved rest, we will miss you.
