Hope everyone had a great PRIDE weekend!

It’s almost that time again for a MUM Camping Trip. This time we’re thinking of trying something different and want your opinion! In the past the MUM Camping Trips have been held at Camp Dorothy, which is one of the members’ back yards. While it works out really well, it’s time to try something different. A few members have mentioned Sawmill Campground which is about an hour and a half from Downtown Orlando. Take a look at their website and let me know what you think. Answer the poll below to let us know where you want to go camping next. If you know of any others, let us know as we’re open to all suggestions. We’re thinking of going around early to middle next month, before it gets too cold. The poll closes this Saturday (17th), so make sure to get your opinion in now!

Hey Guys!

As many of you already know, this Sunday is Orlando’s Pride Parade. Some of us are planning on being there around 12:30 pm and will head over to Central to watch the parade around 3pm. We’ll be wearing our black MUM Shirts. If you still need one, I have a few mediums and larges left. Call me at 407-602-7751 if you need one or to meet up on Sunday.

All new and old friends are welcome! Be sure to bring food and your favorite drinks (yes, even alcohol). A grill will be on site. Make sure you have a tent or sleeping bag because we will be sleeping outdoors by the lake. Also be prepared to get wet because there is a pool and there will be some activities that might get messy. Lets just say , have on old white T-shirt on hand. There will be a fight of somekind. If anyone is kind enough to bring some firewood that would be greatly appreciated as well. Let’s start a fire, make smores, talk and laugh. The following day we will have breakfast somewhere and then head over to Wekiva Springs.

Carnival night was a huge success! The mumboys were in charge of the dunk tank and it was a blast. We got to dunk Darcel Stevens, Armani and Sassy Devine. Our booth alone raised around $1000 for Hope and Help Center. Thank you to those who volunteered. Your constant dedication is what makes M.U.M. so successful! Special thanks and welcome to our newest member Javier.

Hey Guys! MuM has been asked to man the dunk tank at Parliament House this Saturday evening (May 9th). We need a solid list of people who will be there FOR SURE… you are not obligated to stay the entire time. However, a strong showing is needed to make this event a success.

We need to be there at 8pm to help set up… the event will last until past midnight. MuM shirt is optional.

If you can make it, please let Josh (407) 716-5946 know.

Hey Guys! Sassy Devine is having an art show at Pom Pom’s on Thursday May 7th at 9pm. Pom Pom’s has great sandwiches and is a supporter of our group. Lets give back and check out some art from Sassy Devine.

$3,653

That’s how much money we raised during Saturday’s Fashion Show to benefit Hope and Help Center of Central Florida. It feels amazing to give back to the community like that and it couldn’t have been done without you.

This Saturday is the annual AIDS Walk Orlando which also benefits Hope and Help. The money raised on Saturday counts towards MUM’s contribution to the AIDS Walk. So far we are the team with the highest amount raised. We are not that far ahead of the second place team though and need everyone’s continued support to help rise more.

We don’t have much time, so every second counts. Ask you friends, family members, co-workers, employers, and anyone you can for a donation. Then go to aidswalkorlando.org to register your donation and specify that you are with Men Uniting Men.

LETS BE THE NUMBER ONE TEAM AT AIDS WALK AND HELP SUPPORT A GREAT ORGANIZATION!

The Fashion Show this past weekend was AMAZING! I hope all of you were there. MUM raised over $3,500 for Hope and Help of Central Florida. Thanks for everyone’s support! You can see the pictures in the photos section of our website.

MUM is having a movie night this Wednesday at 7pm. We are watching the movie about Pedro (from the Real World). We rented out the movie theater at one of our members apartment complexes. Bring drinks and snacks to share. Park Central Apartments at the intersection of John Young Pkwy and Conroy. Tell the guard you are coming to see Mustafa. You can contact Mustafa at (407) 694-0137 if you need directions once you get to the apartment complex.

Also, dont forget. This coming weekend is the AIDS Walk Orlando. Every year MUM gets together and marches for this great event! We raise money to help and we walk to represent! We have friends that are affected or infected with this disease…. let’s make a difference. If you need a donation envelope, please let us know. Meet us there at 8:30 in front of the DJ Booth, Lake Eola, Downtown.
