A BIG BIG thank-you to everyone that made our MOUTH to MOUTH fund-raiser last Saturday a HUGE success - the venue was packed with supporters and Lifesavers! Thank-you to you all for your support in making it our most enjoyable and successful event ever! Everyone had a fantastic time dancing to Sydney's best DJ's who had donated their time - Dan Murphy, Alex Taylor and Jimmy Dee.

HOLD THESE DATES!

So, please hold these dates:

Saturday, 13 November. Mouth to Mouth a club event to be held at The Underground on Oxford Street, Darlinghurst. For the night owls amongst us who like to dance to the sounds of Jason from the JJJ parties. Happy hour from 9.00 - 10.00, until late...

Why Compulsory:

1) FINAL PART OF ROUTINE TO LEARN - This rehearsal is the most important of them all. We have NOT yet finished learning the routine, there are a number of counts of eight left!! There is a whole all-change-position steps where back quarters move to become the front quarters!

2) SHOES - YOu will get your shoes tonight! There will be those who have ordered too big and those who have ordered too small. We need everyone there so we can swap. And there is NO OTHER chance to pick them up.

3) SWIMMERS - Unless you plan to go naked, you will need to pick-up your swimmers!!!!

4) POSITIONS - You will be allocated your final position.

5) GETTING IT RIGHT - Uniform single image is what we pride ourselves in. You need to be here to get the routine in synch with everyone. It is not fair on others to just wing-it!

Press: Make a splash with Lifesavers with Pride (SX News)

Written by Peter Hackney

Wednesday, 10 February 2010

A favourite with the crowds that throng the Mardi Gras Parade route, the Lifesavers with Pride are back in 2010 for their fourth sashay up Oxford Street, dressed in distinctive red and yellow.

This year, however, the group of gay and lesbian lifesavers wants to up the ante. While previous entries have featured a very strong contingent of Sydneysiders, this year the group wants to especially encourage queer lifesavers from outside Sydney to take part.
