Our January event is always a special one. It marks the fourth birthday of our community. We first met in late January 2022, just seven trans and gender diverse people emerging from yet another COVID lockdown.
Since then we have grown so much as a community. So many new faces, stories, experiences and more. I love this community, while it has asked so much of me, it has given so much back. It gave me, ME. So it was a delight to celebrate four years together.
The fundraiser was a success with $190 raised! We are a very lean operation so this actually has pushed us into a tiny profit of $67.20 when compared to all of our historical costs and fundraising. Time to invest in something very small!
Our mission is not to merely provide a safe environment for new trans femmes to explore their gender, but also to give them a new social circle in which they can share experiences and knowledge. I look forward to many more years of meeting more of you and sharing your stories!
