HERE ARE DETAILS NOT ON THE WEBSITE
Dates and times for events will no longer be posted on the open website: all info comes via these eMale Newsletters,
and every attendee MUST subscribe for legal reasons.
The new 2024 "Regular Schedule" is below.
'Only Perfect TEN men' nights (wow!), fetish and other events will NOT be listed at all, even in these newsletters, but instead go out by private e-mail based on individual preferences and opt-in.
To be sure you are enlisted to get these private Newsletters, please write: theLAOCjacks@gmail.com
SUBSCRIBE / RE-SUBSCRIBE APPLY HERE
EVERYONE MUST DO THIS RE-SUBSCRIBE ONCE AFTER AUGUST 1, 2023. ALL GUESTS BEFORE THIS DATE WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO ATTEND UNTIL YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS & CONDITIONS IN THE RE-SUBSCRIBE APPLICATION.
All newly nominated L.A. Division members are sent a private e-mail from that sister org. Check your SPAM or PROMOTIONS folder if you did not see it. They are slowly getting their Internet act together after a new programmer messed things up in 2022, so please be patient.
PLEASE note that the L.A. Division (founded 2007; which is by invite and nomination acceptance only) is not called The LA/OC Jacks LA, and has a secret, private name and website given when members are accepted. LA has a separate Twitter feed that is under the secret name.
LA is normally active between April and October;
but this year may differ due to some Board and leadership changes. The Chair is still JARED for 2023-24.

Managers Extending Past Closing Time vs After-Party
We extend past closing if the crowd vibe is great! But the pool and Jacuzzi will close earlier, in consideration to the neighbors.
(You guys get VERY LOUD talking, laughing and drinking
while in the spa, and we want to limit that after midnight
(earlier on nights preceding a work day).
"Vibe" is not necessarily the size of the group – we have had just 10 people that all clicked and had a great time vs 80 people who did not jive well, for some reason. Of course, the ideal is a large group and a great vibe, and that has happened, too.
Notice of an extension is only given on our TWITTER feed.
This is not the same as a Managers' After-Party.
The 2 Managers have the discretion to only have certain individuals and VIPs remain while closing the event to all others after the posted closing or extended closing time.
These men have a VIP wrist band.
The goal of the After-Party is to rotate and invite different guests of all types to spend a more intimate time inside the house after closing. Just because some people have been invited before does not mean they will be included the next time – the key is to mix the group up and keep it small in numbers.
Past After-Party guests may be asked at a future time, again.
Anyone who ASKS to attend the After-Party is automatically disqualified. You have to be invited.
It is not about looks or how HOT you are! It is all about your attitude and how you treat others and the organization!
REWARDS
IF you bring in a new guy as a Guest,
you get 50% off the Donation Ask on the spot.
Bring in 2 guys, and you get a Free Pass
for use on your NEXT visit, good for 2 months.
Every year on your birthday, the database should send
you a free pass via e-mail a week before,
and you have 31 days to use it – effective the date of your birthday.
Starting December 1st, we will be going retroactively back to the 2nd Relaunch of August 1, 2023, and tracking your visits to reward you with both 'frequent flier' and other types of rewards that will comp your towels, and/or lockers; and/or give you 50% off the Donation Asks.

FRIDAY & SATURDAY RAFFLE PRIZES
$50 cash raffle prize if at least 35 men have donated full price;
Subject to Rules and Conditions.
Unlike the secretive L.A. Division, the OC house events are not a business and done for social good, donating most of the proceeds to LGBTQ+ non-profits and community/first-responder associations (see website for list).
If you are under financial stress, please speak in-person with the Managers, and we will accommodate you. You are our "Brother" and we care for the good guys. We take care of each other in time of need. This means when you are doing well, we hope you will take care of us. This is a safe place for ALL of the good guys.
The Donation Ask is an "ask," not a requirement; however, to avoid abuse from the past, there is a minimum charge or exchange necessary (you wanna wash dishes; clean the bathroom; change the sheets; do laundry; stock bottled water; do yard work? etc)
$50 Cash Raffle PRIZE (and other prizes) are only granted
to those who make the full Donation on a Fri or Sat night;
subject to certain rules and conditions.
For now, there are no cash raffles on other event days.
Perfect TEN Cardholders: $10 off
You MUST have your card with you.
If you lost it, we will gladly replace it (you need your ID).
Perfect TEN Cardholders at OC are not
necessarily members of the elite LA Division;
but all LA members are Perfect TEN cardholders.
Many of you have given more than our Asks:
$50 and even $100!
Some of you donate back your change.
THANK YOU for your support and generosity!
Karma knows EVERYBODY's ADDRESS!
*****
"SUNDAZE:
Jacuzzi, Hot Dogs & Boyz!"
Usually the 2nd Sundays
of the month
(*caveat exceptions)
Some caveat exceptions* will be in effect to align with
Monday Holidays where we stay open until Midnight;
or avoid conflicting with holidays (like Mother's Day).
We will always make you aware at the very top of these exceptions in our newsletters.
$35 Donation Ask
5pm~11pm (PDT or PST)
JACUZZI / POOL CLOSES AT 11 PM,
even if we extend later.
Note the Managers' VIP After-Party
for select guests will start at 11:15pm.
Only those who make the full Donation Ask may rent towels, use the Jacuzzi/Steam Room Pods, or partake in pizza, grilled hot dogs or the Patio Bar drinks.
Those that don't can have the popcorn,
chips/nuts and bottled water.
HOLIDAY MONDAYS AFFECT SUNDAY CLOSING TIME
*SUNDAY NOTE: If Monday is a holiday, we will usually (but not always) ADD that Sunday to the schedule. An example of when we won't is *LABOR DAY in September.
If Monday is a holiday,
the hours will end at Midnight, not at 11pm:
5pm~12mid* PST or PDT
JACUZZI / POOL CLOSES AT MIDNIGHT
even if we extend later.
Note the Managers' VIP After-Party
for select guests will start on these nights at 1:15am.
We may have additional Sundays other than 2nd/4th/5th of month or MOVE the 2nd/4th to align with a holiday Monday.
It is important to read the e-mail reminders
that go out before EACH EVENT week, 4x/month.
*Caveat Exception: Example on Mother's Day May 2024
Falls on a 2nd/4th Sunday, so we will cancel SUNDAZE.
We may move it to the 1st Sunday of May: the 5th.
*Another Caveat Exception Example:
Presidents Day Monday Feb 19, 2024 follows the 3rd Sunday of the month, so we'll either ADD a Sunday and have 3 Sunday events that month, or move the 4th Sunday to the 3rd Sunday
thus cancelling Feb 25.
--------------------
INCIDENTALS
Valet Parking: COMING THIS SPRING!
After reading your survey results thus far,
we are leaning to offering VALET Parking for the first Saturdays of each month, 9pm~1am | $12 excludes tip
Jacuzzi/Steam Room Pod Towels:
$4 for 2, per person (for laundry svc.)
You may NOT bring your own towels.
There have been too many issues with this,
just like lost/stolen or borrowed locker keys and phones!
Locker Rental: $3
WE HAVE TO KEEP SAYING THIS:
PLEASE LEAVE YOUR SHOES AND BACKPACK (FORBIDDEN FOR THEFT PREVENTION) IN THE CAR AND SWITCH TO FLIP-FLOPS, SLIP-ONs OR SANDALS IF YOU ARE GOING TO GET NAKED.
SHOES TAKE UP WAY TOO MUCH SPACE IN SMALL LOCKERS and are a hassle to keep removing/replacing.
IF YOU WALK AROUND BAREFOOT OR SOCKS-ONLY, YOU WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY.
THE HOUSE REMAINS UNDER RENOVATION CONSTRUCTION.
Velcro Arm Pouch to store phone, lube, vape, etc: $10
The pouch helps us from having to open, re-open your locker repeatedly. We need your help to buy more lockers as we run out fast – hence the $3 locker rental fee.
Condoms/Lube: $1 for your choice of 2
Medication: $1 for 2
Aspirin, Tylenol, Excedrin Migraine,
Gas-X, Imodium (Diarrhea), Prep H,
Alka Seltzer, Bitters w/Seltzer Water
Orange FLIP-FLOP Slippers: $17
NARCAN IS ON STAND-BY.
HEAVY DRUG USE IS AGAINST OUR RULES AND SUBJECTS YOU TO SUSPENSION,
RENEWABLE YELLOW BAN or PERMANENT RED BAN.
PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SHOWER/BATHTUB
IN THE BATHROOM! The non-copper, 80 year old plumbing is barely hanging on, and using the shower causes water to leak out into the hallway and into all 3 bedrooms!
We ask nicely, but some guys still ignore the signs/rules and are imbeciles and don't respect anything. This is why we threaten a 90-day suspension or BAN.
Jacuzzi Towels
(2 towels per person provided by us):
$4 to pay for laundry service.
Laundry Fee is waived for Perfect TEN cardholders
who show their card at Check-in.
For logistical reasons, you MAY NOT
bring your own towels for the pool/Jacuzzi.
PLEASE STOP REMOVING THE
FLOATING DUCK OR STINGRAY IN THE JACUZZI!
They contain the sanitizing chemicals to keep you safe, AND remove body oils and dead skin cells/flakes
that rub off into the water!
Some of you ignore the posted signs and toss these 2 things out, thinking they are kids' toys!
What kills us most in cost? E-E-F-F:
Electricity, Entertainment (Massage Guys, Go-Go-Guys/Ambassadors, Grill Chefs), Facilities and Food.
Until the $27k new roof and $65k solar panels are
installed, electricity, water and gas are our biggest burden.
PARKING
We are working on an OC contract
for valet parking to start Spring 2024!
To make the valet nights easy to remember, the survey results show that the first Saturday event of the month is the most popular choice.
until then...
Street parking can be harder when neighbors also have party guests of their own. You may have to circle the nearby blocks to find a space. Some people park at the nearby Target store lot and Lyft/Uber over, or walk to our event,
since it is a 10-minute walk from there.
YOU CAN MOVE NEIGHBOR TRASH CANS OR CONES. NO ONE CAN BLOCK A PUBLIC STREET PARKING SPACE AND RESERVE IT. SEE THE WEBSITE FOR PIC EXAMPLE.
RESERVED PARKING ON THE LOT
The stalls in and near our driveway are reserved for our Go-Go-Guys, Massage Therapists, VIPs, or armed security guards!
Do not park there or block the driveway.
SOME of you are granted RESERVED parking on the property, but then opt to park on the street when you find an empty space. PLEASE DON'T DO THIS – because you take away a street space from a guest who does not have parking privileges! When you are granted reserved parking, please obey the managers and USE IT! Again, we've been doing this for 30+ years...
LOGISTICS, LOGISTICS, LOGISTICS!
Please follow instructions – there is a reason for everything!
ALCOHOL IN THE PATIO BAR
21+: WE DO NOT SELL OR APPROPRIATE ANY DOOR DONATIONS TO ALCOHOL. That is not only against State law, but also against city ordinances. The alcohol has always been donated by elders who were here since the 1994 start.
If we suspect you are drunk, we will ask – and you must submit to – breath tests and be at 0.6 or below in order to leave this event. Repeated offenses will result in
suspension or permanent expulsion.
Most people just drink bottled water anyway...
it remains the number-1 item that moves 4+ cases each event.
SEVERAL GUESTS (even long-time regulars) have now been Suspended for a period of time; Yellow-Banned for 1-year; or RED BANNED for life (with prejudice and in perpetuity).
O.C. Division Attendance Metrics June 2021~
