..The Western Mass. Power Exchange ..................................[ History ] "And when our baby stirs and struggles to be born it compels humility; what we began is now its own." ..............................................................................................- Anne Ridler The WMPE is a fairly young group in that it has only been in existence since December of 1998. Through the enthusiastic effort of a small handful of very committed and enthusiastic individuals, the concept of regularly available BDSM outreach community gatherings located in the western portion of Massachusetts was finally realized. Since that first mall food court meeting, our ranks have continued to grow at a steady pace and we continue to enjoy an enthusiastic membership comprised of interested individuals, couples and triads of varied experience levels, interests and ages; Dominants, submissives and switches; heteros, bisexuals, CDs and gays; males and females alike. Our growth over the past years has included the introduction of an initial public meeting facility, followed a few months later by a second move to even larger quarters to accommodate the growing number of meeting attendees, guests and friends. We're very happy to be such consistent providers of our non-fetish monthly social and educational dining meetings in Chicopee, MA. The WMPE is clearly a strong, vibrant and quite viable BDSM organization!
