Fellow Kinksters - Help keep Cherry Noir alive! We need to raise $400
to have our party in January.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IMPORTANT UPDATE: YES!! We managed to get $355 of our $400 for January, so the party is ON! We have also managed to get some extra funds lined up for the February event. THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!

Normally we wouldn't reach out to everyone like this, but situations
deemed it necessary. There currently are a few forces at work to make
throwing the Cherry Noir events a bit financially difficult. Please read, SHARE, and help out our cause so that we can keep the kinky-sexy-fun-times going at Cherry Noir.
A bit of back story and the FACTS:
Mistress
Zeneca does not get paid for the Cherry Noir events that take place at
the Saints and Sinners Swingers Club. In fact, she SPENDS money on
dungeon furniture rentals if there aren't enough pieces donated by
Cherry Noir attendees. The space needs 8-9 stations. If we don't get
enough donated items for the night, then they need to be rented from a
fellow community leader in Central NJ. The cost of the furniture rentals
are really mainly the cost of transporting them via UHaul. Even if they
are donated for free - it's not without cost to transport them.
Cherry Noir events are Mistress Zeneca's gift to the BDSM Community. She usually pays for everything herself out of pocket.
Any special entertainment or foods, cake or decor - it all comes from
her desire to enrich the types of public events offered in Philly.
One
of our community members (Shawn Perilous) is going through a difficult
divorce. He was a house-husband and was made homeless and penniless when
his wife kicked him out and drained their joint account. He has been
staying at Mistress Zeneca's sanctuary to be saved from living on the
streets. It's been really stressful for Mistress Zeneca and her
household. While she wants to make sure that friends and community
members are safe and have a shoulder to cry on, it has put a strain on
her finances. The money she usually uses for Cherry Noir is no longer there.
We don't want Cherry Noir to disappear! Please help our community by donating the money needed for the next two events.
We
would be grateful and appreciative for your donations. Don't think that
we're standing here with hat-in-hand without something to give you in
return. Donate today and get tasty rewards!
Mistress Zeneca
spends all summer in overgrown fields, forgotten farms, and hidden
berry patches. She picks organic and wild-grown fruits to make delicious
jams and jellies. She just started selling them on her Etsy.com store -
PrepYourself. These are great items to be spread over toast, to be used
as tart fillings, over cheese as an appetizer, or used as a glaze for
meats. From sweet to savory, jams to chutneys, preserved fruits to
sauces. Available flavors include: Wild Blackberry, Black Raspberry,
Saskatoon Berry, Japanese Wine Berry, Mulberry, Spiced Blueberry, Basil,
Citrus Marmalade, and more.
Look at the full collection of
items here - (Give me some time to put all of them online, but just ask
me for any of the flavors listed above that aren't on the Etsy site
yet.) - https://www.etsy.com/shop/PrepYourself
Choose
what you want and make your donation. We will contact you to arrange
delivery of the delicious treat. If something must be shipped, we will
discuss shipping method and costs at that time.
If you want to
help out Cherry Noir in other ways like by donating furniture or in some
other way, please let us know. It takes effort from so many people to
throw such great events and we couldn't do it all without each of you -
Our Ambassadors, Our Guests, and Our Fans. So let's pull together and
raise $800 to cover the next TWO Cherry Noir events. If you can't donate, then help us by SHARING this fundraiser with your friends.
Thank You So Much!
