 Dear
BI Men Members &
Friends:
RE: Happy New Year
and our
Bi Men Network Designated
Charity for 2006-2007
Hi MEN! hope you
had great holidays
and you have my
sincere, best wishes
for the coming year
2007. I hope that
you and yours have
a great year with
health and happiness
and more than enough
bread to keep the
wolf from your front
door - if not across
town or cross-state!
Try to plan ahead
this year to join
us for our 6th Annual
Bi Men Getaway Weekend
and Bi Men Conference
this October back
in Palm Springs
for a second year
here - after one
year in Las Vegas
and three years
in San Diego. Do
plan ahead to join
us then and there.

This year (2007)
$20 of each and
every lifetime paid
membership will
go as a cash donation
to CEPRESI in Nicaragua
- our new, BI MEN
NETWORK designated
charitable organization.
This November I
traveled to Nicaragua
and met with the
leaders of CEPRESI
in Managua. This
is our new BI Men
Network charity
for 2006-2007. CEPRESI
is the leading non-governmental
nonprofit organization
fighting AIDS in
Nicaragua. While
Nicaragua and Haiti
are the two very
poorest countries
in the Americas
today - Nicaragua
has by far the lowest
incidence of active
AIDS cases and HIV
infection whereas
Haiti sadly has
the very highest.
It is miserable
to have AIDS or
HIV infection in
any country on earth
- but especially
in these two very
poor nations.
As
they say: "An
inch of prevention
is worth a pound
of cure!" This
is especially true
in Nicaragua which
has an 80 per cent
poverty rate. Those
who can and do work
make about $2 a
day. There is little
to no government
infrastructure to
fight AIDS there
and little sex education
for AIDS prevention.
CEPRESI works in
this field. I met
with them in Managua
and delivered a
cash donation in
person as well as
a suit case full
of condoms and water-based
lubricant samples
from our BI Men
Network sponsors.
I could not tell
if they were more
pleased with the
sex aids or the
cash - but they
loved both and were
very grateful and
very delighted to
meet US and to receive
our BI Men Network
donations. No one
from the USA it
seems had ever set
up an appointment
to come by and give
anything or even
say hi!
Nicaragua as noted
has the lowest incidence
of AIDS and HIV
infection in the
Western Hemisphere.
Haiti is number
one with 27 times
as much AIDS/HIV
as Nicaragua. Costa
Rica the "wealthy"
neighbor next door
to the south has
three times as much
AIDS/HIV as Nicaragua
and Honduras the
poor neighbor to
their north has
9 times as much
AIDS/HIV as does
Nicaragua. So you
can readily see
that our donations
in kind of condoms
and lubricants and
cash are needed
and do go far to
help keep Nicaragua
a relatively AIDS
free-zone in all
of the Americas.
CEPRESI is also
in dire need of
sex education and
STD and AIDS prevention
videos and dvd's.
If the titles are
in ENGLISH they
can add subtitles
or talk along with
the educational
tapes as they are
played. Due to the
low educational
levels there - tapes
are even more valuable
than written materials.
Also with younger
men today - as here
- coming up in a
more audio/visual
world - tapes are
far better as a
means to educate.
An ounce of
prevention is indeed
worth a pound if
not a ton of cure
when it comes to
such a desperately
poor nation as Nicaragua.
Won't you help?
Join us as a LIFETIME
MEMBER at only $69.00
(or join again)
and $20 will go
to CEPRESI and you
will also get a
free pass to any
BI Men major event
as well as a free
month of BI mmf
pay-for-porn from
Three Pillows.

We CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
and help Nicaragua
to continue to be
truly blessed as
a relatively AIDS
free zone in the
Americas. Why not
help make a difference?
You can join as
a lifetime member
or you can send
a donation to our
BI MEN NETWORK and
tell me you want
half or all to go
to CEPRESI in Nicaragua.
Feel free if
you wish to help
CEPRESI directly
as if you have educational
tapes or donations
in kind or cash
contributions. Contact
their Executive
Directory Norman
Guiterrez. They
sadly do not have
enough money or
staff for a website/web
presence at this
time. But as you
can imagine that
is not in Nicaragua
an immediate or
high priority. Contact
me here if you want
to contact them
directly or I will
be happy to be the
middle hombre!
This is our first
CHARITY since we
contributed to the
last North American
Bisexual Conference
in Minneapolis.
This time I need
YOUR HELP to help
CEPRESI as our funding
from the Bisexual
Foundation ended
long ago.
Please also
if you will support
our major sponsors:
Adult
Friend Finder;
OUT
Personals,
and Three
Pillows.
Get free basic memberships
at AFF or OUT or
take the free tour
at Three Pillows.
Every click from
our men and our
friends DOES help
the BI Men Network.
See below for details
on these and our
other affiliations
and sponsors.
Happy New Year MEN.
Please help me to
help the bisexual,
BI-curious and gay
MEN of Nicaragua
to avoid the curse
of AIDS and HIV
infections as well
as other STD's too.
It is bad here to
have any of these
- just think how
horrible it would
be to be infected
with any of these
in the poorest Latin
country in Latin
America! Muchas
gracias!
If you have any
questions about
CEPRESI, AIDS and
bisexuality/homosexuality
in Nicaragua do
contact me directly!
