CMG-SanDiego Presents........

DESCRIPTION:  Hooray!  Pool Party Season is upon us!  

A lovely yard and a central location -- near SDSU!  Hang by the pool or take a dip and, of course, enjoy the shared goodies.

So take a break from the summer heat and come play in/by a comfy suburban pool with us, making new friends and hanging with old ones.  This is a great opportunity to share CMG with friends who haven't been yet!  All friendly, open, attitude-free men ages 21-99 are welcome!!!

WHAT TO BRING:  

Food:  Bring something to share food-wise and any needed serving utensils.  A few desserts are nice, but when in doubt, we can never have too many entrees and salads, but there CAN be too many desserts.  CMG will provide water and lemonade, ice, plates, plasticware, cups and napkins.  If you want a different beverage, bring it!
 
Alcohol:  CMG will not be providing any alcohol beverages, but if you'd like to bring lighter alcohol (beer, wine, coolers, etc.) for your own consumption or to share with friends, you are welcome to.  We do ask that no one drink to excess for the comfort of other guests, the concerns of our host, and the safety of the roads afterward.
 
Accessories:  Be sure to bring your swimsuit, a towel, and sunscreen!  This is not a clothing-optional event nor is there a "privacy area" in the host's home.  Just come for fun and socializing.

HOUSE RULES AND PARKING:  

Please re-read the info about house rules and parking carefully!
We want to be welcomed back next year!

1)   No glass by the pool. There will be a table where glass items can be placed, but the contents
       must be poured into cups before walking about with them.

2)   Alcohol is limited to beer, wine, and "coolers" (ie:  Mike's Hard Lemonade).  Feel free to enjoy a little drink but
      we're hoping not to have inebriated guests.

3)  This is not a clothing-optional party.  Please have a bathing suit, esp. if you might go in the pool.

4)  Guests are welcome to use the house to change clothing and use bathrooms.

5)  Smoking is not allowed in the yard or the house.  Anyone needing to smoke should go to
      the front of the house and take care not to litter filters.

PARTY QUESTIONS:  Fred is our point of contact for this event (thanks Fred!)  Please RSVP or ask questions of us through the form listed above.  For 'day-of' questions only, call his cell:  (619) 889-3791.

If CMG is new to you, one of our local events is a great way to find out about the California Men's Gatherings and the many wonderful men who get involved. Since 1978, CMG has been a place where all men -- gay, bi, trans, and straight, from 18-80+ can find a different way to connect. While attendees of CMG events and retreats are predominately gay and bisexual, all men 18 years or older are welcome. Local Events Page
