Meeting Calendar

MEETINGS

Meetings provide opportunities for topics of interest to be presented and discussed and for Masters and slave to share, whether together or in separate groups. Meetings also provide time for making introductions and announcements, for conducting business and socializing.

Each meeting begins with a brief joint session for the purpose of general introductions, business and announcements. A topic is presented for discussion. Separate sessions of Masters and slaves begin for about an hour of discussion on the topic. However, anyone with a personal issue is encouraged to share regardless of its relevance to the topic of the day. After the separate sessions, the entire group rejoins for refreshments and socializing.

General Guidelines:

Participants agree to hold confidential anything discussed in general or group sessions;
Masters may not order any slave, including their own, to discuss or divulge information or content of a slave group session;
Masters without a slave will be expected to take care of themselves while at MAsT meetings unless a slave, of his own volition, serves the Master; and
Protocol is suspended unless the Master of a specific relationship chooses to impose protocol on his own slave(s).

MAsT: Washington meetings are held on the Second Tuesday of each month at 7:30 P.M. Our new location is "1409 Playbill Cafe" at 1409 14th Street, NW, Washington, DC -- between Rhode Island Avenue and P Street. Meetings are held in the private room in the back of the restaurant.

All are invited to join us at the optional munch at 6:30 PM at the same restaurant.
