Gateway MC promotes brotherhood among its members and members of the Levi/leather community by engaging in a variety of activities. Each month Gateway has a business meeting in a bar, at a park, or at members' homes.

For over twenty years we have hosted our annual Mr. Missouri Leather contest, the winner of which competes at IML. We have also hosted Fantasy and Drummer contests. The winner of our first Drummer contest, Woody Bebout, went on to become International Mr. Drummer.

We host a large anniversary run each October, welcoming 100 to 200 guests. We are known for the variety of our run activities and our original shows. We also attend runs hosted by other Levi/leather clubs, strengthening the bonds of brotherhood in the Midwest and across the country.

At our run, our leather contests, and some of our other events, we raise money for a variety of AIDS service organizations in the St. Louis area, including The St. Louis Effort for AIDS, Doorways Interfaith Residence, and Food Outreach.

We raise money for our club and promote brotherhood by hosting club nights at our home bar and at bars in other cities. Since coming to JJs we have hosted some three-way club nights with the Show-Me Bears and Blue Max CC. We also welcome out-of-town clubs to host club nights at our home bar. In the last few years we have raised additional funds by cooking and serving spaghetti dinners throughout the year.

We engage in other events, such as our annual Weenie Roast camp-out weekend with the other St. Louis clubs, and bar social nights just for the fun of it.

Occasionally, we publish a newsletter called "The Gear," which is sent to all members and associates, and to other clubs around the country.

Although members may have a variety of interests and engage in a variety of activities, Gateway MC is not a sex club, an S&M club, or a fetish club, nor does it promote specific political philosophies.
