- The Board of Director of the Great Lakes Leather Alliance decided to remove Zarius and talina as Great Lakes Master and slave 2007. They will no longer be representing the Great Lakes Master and slave titles. Zarius and talina had previously offered to resign their titles and were told that the acceptance of their resignations was at the discretion of the board. Therefore the resignations were not accepted. The removal of them as representatives was due to actions unbecoming to a titleholder and Great Lakes representative. (CoL)
