Hey all -

The Mass Bay Bears have been getting a lot of attention lately!

The other week In Newsweekly ran photos from the Toy Drive we did with the Enforcers NE at The Alley Bar in December. Also the movie from our Bear Foam Party went up on Google Video where it’s quite popular. Now on Tuesday we were mentioned on BearPodcast with a recommendation for the upcoming Out of Hibernation (make your room reservations ASAP!) We’ve also gotten some requests to co-sponsor some more regional events, which you’ll be hearing more about soon.

We’ve also got a couple of local events fellas are putting together that should be announced in the next week or so. These include some more bar nights, a Bear Video Night, the long-promised Metro-West Bear Night, and a special surprise or two! If you’ve got any ideas for some events for ‘da Bears’ please, let us help you make it happen! If your New Years Resolution was to make some more buddies then Mass Bay Bear events are a great way to meet ‘em!

Lastly, as soon as some more improvements are made on the MBB website we’ll be announcing the shut-down of the old New England Bears Yahoo! Groups email list. MBB website traffic has been growing by leaps and bounds every week, both the text material and the photo galleries, and we seem to be keeping up! Our emails aren’t too taxing and an increasing number of fellas are subscribing via blog-readers and feed-reader pages on MSN, Yahoo!, and Google (we’ll have instructions out soon for the less cutting-edge of us!)

Thank You EVERYONE for supporting us our first six months, and here’s to the next year being even better!
