TGSF - End of Month Get-Together - In Person

TGSF - End of Month Get-Together - In Person

Fri, Aug 28, 2:00 AM
From TGSF - Transgender San Francisco
4.8

**Welcome** *ALL* trans, non-binary, gnc (Gender non-conforming), intersex, people sincerely questioning a transgender path, other friendly queers, and allies! TGSF gets together in person, at least once a month, generally on the last Thursday of the month. **Our "NEW VENUE"!** We will meet at **Taqueria San Jose,** which is the name of our old venue, but they moved across the street! So, same time, same name, but now at 2839 Mission St, across Mission Street, from Taqueria Los Altos. - Sorry for any confusion. It's good to buy food here to support them, but **food is optional**. (Meat will undoubtedly be eaten by someone at the restaurant. If you'd like to help organize vegan, or non-food events, please contact TGSF via *tgsf.org@proton.me* !) TGSF usually has an in-person End of Month dinner/gathering on the **last Thursday of each month**, except: * **March**, we attend **TDoV** (Transgender Day of Visibility) - [http://TDoV.org/](http://TDoV.org/) * **June**, we attend **Trans March** - [http://TransMarch.org/](http://TransMarch.org/) \- You really must experience this event\! * **November 20**, we attend **TDoR** (Transgender Day of Remembrance) - [http://TDoRSF.org/](http://TDoRSF.org/) * **December**, we'll meet before the traditional winter holidays – **Details to be announced.** * (If another trans/gnc-related event is important to support, it will be substituted for that month's gathering.) We try to keep the Meetup [http://www.meetup.com/TGSF-Transgender-San-Francisco/](http://www.meetup.com/TGSF-Transgender-San-Francisco/) up to date. But **we need volunteers to do Social Media!** Our Facebook and other Social Media haven't been updated in years. (Yes, **the website, TGSF.org, is still dead**. Eden hopes to have some ideas on how to fix it "soon".) ***Volunteers are always needed!*** We need people to: organize gatherings; to answer the phone messages and emails; for outreach to organizations and media; to organize and carry-out "mutual aid"; etc. Please do NOT use the Meetup, Facebook, or other sites to contact TGSF! Those methods may not be checked for months at a time. *The best (only realistic) way to contact us is through email: tgsf.org@proton.me .*

First Friday Yappy Hour at Marina Green

First Friday Yappy Hour at Marina Green

Fri, Aug 7, 11:30 PM
From San Francisco Yorkshire Terrier & Dog Friends Meetup Group
4.7

Calling all Dog Lovers in San Francisco! Let your furry friends make new connections, romp around, and have a tail-wagging good time at First Friday Yappy Hour at the western end of Marina Green (where Marina Blvd and Scott St intersect). This is a perfect opportunity to socialize and engage in some dog-friendly activities! Please note that Marina Green is an open and unfenced park (not a fully enclosed off-leash dog park like Francisco was) and that dogs are technically required to be on leash at all times. On the other hand, there is plenty of free parking! Don't miss out on this paws-itively delightful event and create lasting memories with your furry companions. Join us for a delightful time at the First Friday Yappy Hour!

I’m Ryan. I grew up in a hippie tradition of folk music in Marin, and sharing simple songs communally is deeply important to me. I've been a regular member under the previous organizer for almost a year, bringing friends and making more. Singing in the Park, also known as the Community Sing, is a space where people could come together and sing without worrying about finances, judgment, or hitting every note just right. This is a space for **messy, joyful singing, and intentional community**. We meet every Second Sunday of the Month at 11:00AM in Mother’s Meadow, come say hi!
