Sunday Nov 27, 2005 Annual Community Pot Luck Thanksgiving

Project 100, Community Center, 1841 Broad Street, Hartford, CT. 4:00 - 7:00 PM
Co-sponsored by True Colors Mentoring Program, Project 100 Community Center, MCC Hartford, Connecticut TransAdvocacy Coalition, and the Twenty Club, this annual dinner provides members of our community the chance to come together and create family, to celebrate who we are, to give thanks for each other and all we have accomplished. Later on you have an ability to chat with trans models on TrannyCams.live and you can do that online without attending our event.

The event is free and open to the public. Co-sponsors will provide the main dishes and beverages. Participants are encouraged to bring a side dish (vegetable, casserole, salad, dessert, etc.) to share (though everyone is welcome to attend whether you bring a dish or not!) VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED TO HELP COOK, SET UP, SERVE AND CLEAN UP.

Twenty Club mission statement

Nature: The Twenty Club is a support group run by and for the transsexual community. Historically, The Twenty Club has close ties with the Gender Identity Clinic of New England, Inc., but the organizations are separate. Our Purpose is to provide knowledgeable information and ongoing peer support to transsexuals though the many stages of their transition as well as information about the Gender Identity Clinic of New England, Inc. Friends and relatives are encouraged to attend in the hope of gaining a greater understanding and acceptance of their loved one's gender dysphoria. The Twenty Club is non-profit and non-sexual. We are not a religious organization and have no affiliation with any religious denomination. We hold no prejudice against any other group of people

Services: The Twenty Club, Inc. publishes bi-monthly newsletters, Twenty, serving persons with gender dysphoria and helping professionals. We meet on the second and fourth Saturdays of every month. Meetings are structured to provide support, information and open, accepting understanding. On occasion, we have professional speakers on educational and medical subjects of interest to gender dysphoric persons. Additionally, we have social get-togethers, club parties, outreach to New England and New York gender organizations, and a speakers bureau. Smoking is not allowed during our meeting. Local ordinances restrict smoking to outside the building. During the course of the meeting, we enjoy a half hour break, during which people are encouraged to get to know one another and to help themselves to food and beverages. Please feel free to bring food and/or beverages to share with our group.

Security: We are a peer support group, not a dating service or an instant source of new best friends. Persons interested in attending meetings are welcome to come so long as they have a personal interest in gender dysphoria, understand the supportive nature of our group, and are willing to respect the anonymity of all persons attending. At no time may another persons name, address, telephone number, or any personal information be given out without full permission of that individual. Cameras, recording devices and members of the media are not allowed at our meetings.

Membership Dues and Meeting Fees: Annual membership dues for the Twenty Club, Inc. are $20 (US) per year. Dues include a one year (6 issues) subscription to this newsletter. Members and visitors are encouraged to contribute $1.00 per person at each meeting to help defray our expenses. Dues and meeting fees are applied to facility costs, newsletter production and distribution costs, and refreshment costs for Twenty Club and GICNE meetings. While these contributions allow us to remain self-sustaining, no-one will be turned away due to their inability to contribute.
