As The Imperial Sovereign Court of All Connecticut celebrates 25 years of doing good in our state and community, we also want to celebrate the folx who share the support. Many of our members are involved in other organizations, and we are invited to attend / perform at their events. We always have an amazing time with our CT Leather Family at their S4 event. S4 stands for Suds & Sins, a Sunday Social. This event has been going on for over 20 years and we are proud to be a part of this tradition. This year the reigning CT leather Mr. Loves Alot has collected donations for D.E.S.K, Downtown Evening Soup Kitchen located in New Haven, and supported various other charities. Come see what we all do best, giving back!
