General Planning

Suggestions sent to Shawn that ToFF could undertake for this year.

The event at the Faultline Bar was a pounding success The foundation netted approximately $1700 that will be used for the purchasing of clear acid free folders to hold the original works of our namesake Tom of Finland that are in the permanent collection.

We want to thank our entertainers for the evening:  Terry and his boxers from Boxing on the Boulevard, Mike Mooney and his cohorts Gut punching L.A. and the wonderful presence of Patrick Lee with his photos and drawings plus his great crew of guys. Our sponsors for the evening who donated great raffle items, TomsMen.com, Syren , Patrick Lee, and Boxing on the Boulevard. The foundation's own crew of volunteers deserves to be noted. Richard Weineke, Mark Jones, Sharp and Durk who built the boxing ring and speed ball station. Along with Dan Berkowitz, Mike Goldie, Dan Babcock, Roger Warnix, Michael Loranger, Greg Beatrice, Mike Pesina,Jay Jorgensen, Jay Lawton, Robert V and John Bernard.

And the heavy duty action of Slave Boi Eddie Miss international Boot Black and of course Shawn of the Faultline for his encouragement and offering of his establishment.

Also a special thanks to Tom Walker the dj and vj for the evening. Always great sounds.
