TGSF - End of Month Get-Together - In Person

TGSF - End of Month Get-Together - In Person

Fri, Oct 30, 2:00 AM
From TGSF - Transgender San Francisco
4.8

**Welcome** *ALL* trans, non-binary, gnc (Gender non-confirming), 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. This is our **HALLOWEEN** meeting. Feel free to wear anything that makes you feel good (please be sure it's legal :) This is our monthly **in person** event! When we get together, feel free to continue to wear masks, and if that’s part of the rules at the time, then we’ll all wear them! **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*](http://TGSF.org@proton.me*) !) TGSF usually has an 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/) , 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, if ever. *The best (only realistic) way to contact us is through email, info@TGSF.org .*

LGBTQ+ Singles Dodgeball

LGBTQ+ Singles Dodgeball

Sun, Nov 8, 6:00 PM
From East Bay Together: Date & Friends (LGBTQ+ Singles only)

An LGTBQ+ Singles Dodgeball Game! ***Space is limited! Please make sure to keep up to date on your RSVP. Repeat no shows, will be removed.*** The basketball courts are first come first serve. So I am going to arrive early to try to snag a basketball court to play on. If not, there are fields nearby. Dodgeball is a fast-paced team sport where two opposing teams throw soft or rubber balls to hit players on the other team while trying to avoid being hit themselves. The primary goal is to eliminate all players on the opposing team or have more players remaining when a timed match ends.

Berkeley Cohousing (un)Common Meal - cook & dine in community

Sun, Oct 18, 1:00 AM
From Cohousing in the SF Bay Area - consolidated group
4.6

Join Betsy Morris and Raines Cohen, Cohousing Coaches and EBCOHO organizers, with area community seekers and residents of an East Bay Cohousing neighborhood, to together **prepare a community meal**/BBQ at Berkeley Cohousing, now celebrating over three decades as a community. At an (un)Common Meal, we **take over a cohousing Common House kitchen** on an "off" night and **prepare our own Common Meal together**; some members of the community may join us to eat it. The shopping will already be done, but we'll get to **cook and clean and learn together**, discovering the joys and challenges of feeding a group of diverse humans with unique needs, and cleaning up afterwards. We charge dinner guests to cover the cost of ingredients, You can pay in advance and [confirm your spot via the East Bay Cohousing website](https://www.ebcoho.org/uncommon-meal-berkeley_20261017). **Schedule** for the evening: 6 PM Cooks arrive and start prepping dinner, under the guidance of a community member (*we take care of the meal planning & shopping in advance*) 6:30 PM Cleaners arrive and get to visit a home or two. 7 PM Break to eat and share about our community living and searching experience 8 PM Cleaners start cleaning, cooks continue discussion (cleaners can rejoin when they're done) 8:30-9 PM Wrap-up and go home. Note: Everybody is either a cook or a cleaner. If you arrive too late to cook, you're a cleaner. Don't worry if you haven't cooked for a group before, we'll have plenty of experienced hands on hand, and the right tools in the Common House kitchen to make it fun and easy. We'll take turns, with one group cooking while another socializes, take time to eat together, and then the cooks get to relax while the cleaners cleans up. **Advance registration and payment required**, so we can shop and prepare. We always use local organic ingredients to the extent available, and offer alternatives to accommodate a wide variety of dietary needs.
