It’s that time again! The bears are coming out of hibernation and that means it’s camping time… woof! We’re returning to Camp Dorothy since it’s a popular destination for all Central Floridians. If you haven’t been before, you’re definitely missing out. We play games, have a camp fire and roast some marshmallows. There’s a grill for anyone who wants to cook out. As always bring your beverage of choice. On Sunday we will start of by going somewhere for breakfast, then we will do an outdoor activity somewhere so make sure you bring some cash (see list below). Last time almost 30 people showed up. I hope everyone can make it this time!

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!

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.

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!
