From the Desk Of The Managing Director Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, I want to take a few minutes of your time to ask you these questions. Why are you a member of The Society of Ordinary Gentlemen? What brought you to this society? These questions are not to question if you belong here not by any means; no just the opposite, we want to know what brought you here to the society and what do you hope to gain, learn, and desire to obtain from this society. The Society of Ordinary Gentlemen is not like any of these Skool communities that you see, this not an online fraternity, or Facebook like community, or not even a instagram posting center. This society was created because there are men in women who have specific values, morals, and beliefs for a society that promotes and encourages the qualities of ladies and gentlemen that were once established and have since become extinct. The Society of Ordinary Gentlemen has been very successful in creating a place for ladies and gentlemen to have a place of solitude, a sanctuary; for ladies and gentlemen such as yourselves, to come together to share thoughts, ideas, to communicate with like minded people, and to build a society that will encourage others to become a better version of themselves while incorporating the qualities that are in our constitution. To accomplish this, we have instituted certain criteria’s and questions that potential members must meet and the requirements and standards to be allowed to have access to this society. Thus so far we have been able to keep and limited the number of bots, and people whose intentions were not that of the society from gaining access. And it is because of this that we do not have hundreds or thousands of members, but the members that we do have; have the qualities that meet the standards of the society. We have a constitution, and bylaws established to preserve the integrity of this society with regards to discrimination, prejudice, or treating others respect. But here is the thing, we want to grow this society not by numbers but by sincere members who understand and want to build this society to be the best that it can be. We; as far we are aware, are the few if not the only one who have live video meetings on a regular basis, that allow members to have access to the board members by email, video, or phone call. We have a governing board, and are a non profit organization, meaning that all money that comes in goes directly back into the society of offer teachings, training, and access to the Gentlemen’s Marketplace where members can purchase merchandise at reasonable and low prices. Because there is no overhead, profit margins, or payroll to be paid out. This society is free to all members, and any person that would like to donate or pledge a donation to the society is fully aware that all donations, monies, and other contributions go strictly to the society and not to any board members, promoting company, or an affiliated sponsor. Everything’s go strictly to the society for things this Skool site which cost monthly $99.00, the website that we now have, and other things like hosting meet and greets, training videos, giveaways, websites hosting, and merchandise. All these things that everyone enjoys are being funded by donations.

As a follow up to my Lunar New Year post, I’m curious to know what your Native American zodiac sign is. Now unlike most zodiac calendars, your animal will change if you move to northern/southern hemisphere. For instance in the southern hemisphere I’m a Raven, but in the northern hemisphere I’m a Falcon.

Back in the 90s I went to see a movie in a theater. As usual, ten minutes into the movie I walked out. Another lousy flick. Went to a library, bookstore or home. Ten years ago and, I saw the last five minutes of the same movie. Convinced I was right to walk out of the movie years ago. Last night on UTube I watched the entire movie. With delight. I strongly recommend anyone over 40 will appreciate the portentous plot and dialogue. Maybe the older you are the more you will enjoy it. Even younger people may relate. The movie is Demolition Man with Sylvester Stallone and a hilarious Sandra Bullock. I admit to enjoying the film, and it holding my interest perhaps partially due to the medical marijuana.
