•There will be a “Road Trip” style auction.

~~~***GMA Fundraiser Date Auction***~~~: Yes, we're going there...yes we copied from Road Trip...and yes you have

to go on a date with whoever buys you.

Message me if you want to volunteer your body/sexual services/personality to the effort. Anyone participating receives funding

from this auction!!

Basically there will be a “hot” selection of guys and girls to "buy."

All proceeds will go to GMA's NYC Trip and General Fund. If you have a crush on someone and you're too scared to tell them nothing works better

than some Tequila, money, and a forced date :)!!!!

Social Events

Keep checking Website for all events. Refer to Calendar at the end of this

presentation.

Please don’t email/call asking about opportunities until you have CHECKED

FOR YOURSELF.

Reference all GMA emails and Website, and Facebook group before being lazy and emailing us.
