Who We Are:

The Greater Seattle Polyfidelity Potluck Support Group
http://www.scn.org/~spg/index.html is for individuals, couples, and groups
of all sexual orientations, genders (born or transformed), or lifestyles who
are curious about polygamy, polyandry, polygyny, polyfidelity, polyamory,
responsible non-monogamy, multipartner relationships, sharing their mates
with others, open marriage, and/or group marriage and wish to identify local
resources, books and magazines to read, and to meet, discuss, philosophize,
and trade stories and experiences with like-minded people. Our next meeting
is Saturday evening, March 14th. A few of our members come from Alaska,
Oregon, and B.C. so we are posting to these newsgroups.

Anonymity is respected. An internet e-mail distribution list (not a
discussion list) for announcements of events and activities is maintained.
To subscribe or change your address including your snail mail mailing
address for our bimonthly newsletter, e-mail us.

planned such as clothing-impaired (nude) swims.
