Muffins:

I must admit to you that Jody Koenig completed my work (with some input of course) on last week’s WPP. I was therefore able to get away and scooted up north. Thanks Jody for doing such a wonderful job!

This week is no different in terms of there being very difficult choices about what should be included in the WPP. Let’s start with the news that we have some performance coming up and competitions but best of all – BOOT CAMP!

If you have an upcoming event or activity you would like to promote please send the details to me at [email protected]

I hope you were able to get out and enjoy some the beautiful weather… Yeah I can feel Spring in the air.

Thursday February 17th

Got questions female sexual pleasure? Megan has the answers. From finding where the erogenous zones are, to learning what medications can interfere with a woman’s sexual functioning, you’ll learn quite a lot in this short period of time. How many types of orgasms are there, and what’s the difference?

Where exactly is the A-spot? G-spot? Videos, vulva puppets and graphic discussion will be used to help you understand the ins and outs of female sexual functioning, pleasure, and desire.

Megan is a nationally certified sexuality educator through The American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists and a board certified sexologist through The American College of Sexologists. Smitten Kitten is so excited to have her.

This is a class for anybody interested in learning more about Female Pleasure. Tickets to this workshop are $20 in advance and $25 at the door.

Westboro Baptist Church PEACEFUL COUNTER-PROTEST / Celebration of Diversity

Around Fargo South High, we’ll see on the day of

Sunday, February 20 · 6:30pm – 7:30pm

The Westboro Baptist Church (www.godhatesfags.com) (ps: don’t visit their website unless you are unfamiliar with the group, apparently they get small donations per hit, google them instead) is coming to Fargo to protest Fargo South

High’s production of The Laramie Project.
If you are interested in a PEACEFUL counter protest please come to support the South High students who are performing the play and to honor the life of Matthew Shepard (the victim of a hate crime/murder in Laramie, WY).

IF YOU PLAN ON PROTESTING-

Please don’t stoop down to this “church’s” level. Be respectable. The only way to counter protest pure hatred is with love and acceptance. I’m not saying you have to be super sweet to the members of WBC, just don’t go out of your way to provoke them. Do NOT touch them and do NOT threaten them! Show them what love is with your words and actions!
