Black Rose

The Black Rose Annual Meeting will be on Tuesday, August 1. Come hear about the great things we accomplished last year, and the great things we’re planning to do this year!

This event is members only. We’ll be sending the virtual login info to your inboxes in the days before the meeting.

Join us for the Black Rose Social, held at The Crucible. On BR Social nights, The Crucible will admit BR members at the same rate as Crucible members ($25 members/$35 guests).

Step into a realm where stars twinkle, planets align, and galaxies come alive at our spectacular Outer Space Party! Embark on an interstellar voyage with us where out-of-this-world attire and zero-gravity moves collide, as we play among the stars.

Show us your Galaxy Girl and Buzz Lightyear looks. Bring your pulsing tentacle toys and enjoy getting so floaty you drift into [top|sub] space. This is an 18+ event! There will be non-alcoholic beverages available for purchase. Doors open at 9PM.

Bad actors pose as Black Rose, promise your dreams, steal your money

The Black Rose (BR) Board of Directors is aware of several scams/frauds involving the malicious use of the Black Rose name. These incidents are ongoing and have involved circumstances such as:

• Being asked to pay for a collaring ceremony
• Being recruited as a registered slave for Black Rose
• Being asked to pay additional fees for toys and/or kits

BR reminds everyone we never charge fees outside of our membership fees (listed at br.org/membership) or event fees (listed at br.org/calendar). In addition, BR does not ever license anyone to recruit for our organization. We operate solely in the Washington, DC area and have no branches or chapters in any other location.

Please use caution in your financial transactions. Diligence is always the best protection against this type of fraud. Each report we’ve received about these incidents has come from potential victims who checked with us because something seemed amiss. Remember, in the age of the internet, not everyone is who they claim to be.

The election is over and the members have spoken! The new BR Board, as well as our other elected leaders, take their seats today. Let’s thank them all for their leadership and service to the organization. Join us in welcoming:

For Board

• Ben
• Emily
• Eric
• Mike

• Nissy
• Snowwy

For Arbiter

• George P.

For Ombuds

• Sasquatch

If you have emailed us from either a yahoo.com or aol.com email account and did not receive a response, you may wish to contact us through a different address so that we can get back to you. We are working with our email provider to remedy this issue, but the issue appears to be these providers blocking our (and other) shared web hosts.
