Southern Virginia Pets and Handlers (SVA-PAH) is a group that is dedicated to those that have a common interest in the pet and handler fetish/lifestyle, and those that love them. This is a place for pups, handlers, and people curious about pup play on the East Coast. We are a group in the Tidewater Area of Virginia that was formed to fill a void for those into the Pet and Handler Lifestyle with no organized community to call their own. SVA-PAH is devoted to educating people about what pet play is, as well as providing a close-knit family feel for all members to feel free to be who they are!
SVA-PAH is an LGBTQ-Friendly social club that is open to members who are at least 18 years of age. You can join the Pups and Handlers at MJ's Tavern on the 4th Saturday of the month! We usually have a mosh pit and sell Jello shots!

VIRGINIA LEATHERWOMEN UNITED's mission is to establish a group that reflects a diversity of all women and non-binary individuals, interested or involved in the Leather culture and BDSM, and to provide a safe atmosphere where members can gather, play, communicate, be empowered, exchange ideas and varying perspectives and socialize while nourishing a sense of siblinghood and camaraderie within the Club and the community.
Our mission extends to the community at large, in that VIRGINIA LEATHERWOMEN UNITED seeks to foster a better understanding and appreciation of the lifestyle among the members of the Club and within the community, through attending social, charitable, and educational endeavors and activities, and to provide support as a siblinghood, when possible, to local and regional Leather/BDSM community-based organizations or events.

"HAVE SOME FUN AND DO SOME GOOD"
The Imperial Court of Washington, DC (ICWDC) mission is to raise funds for organizations, including but not limited to those supporting just the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender community: HIV/AIDS services organizations, social service organizations, and youth enrichment programs. We seek to provide a safe, social environment for people with the same interest as those of the membership and to create and promote positive community awareness of the ideals of the International Court System.
Our members are dedicated to the causes and charities chosen by our organization. Our two-fold mission encompasses both social and philanthropic arenas. Moreover, as serious as we are about our role in our community, we cannot deny that many of us also participate in the frivolity and creative outlet the Court encourages.
