TGSF - End of Month Get-Together - In Person

**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 monthly **in person** event! **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 *info@TGSF.org* !) 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, but email is still working**. 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, info@TGSF.org .*

🦖 Webcam Powered Dino Alert Electronics Project (CHM)

In this fun, beginner-friendly project, you’ll build a system that uses your laptop’s webcam to detect motion and trigger a hilarious **“Dino Alert!”** on screen. When movement is detected, a T-Rex appears, opens its mouth, waves its tiny arms, and warns everyone nearby with a roar. No prior experience is required. By the end, you’ll have a working Dino Alert system—and a solid foundation for building more advanced projects that combine software and electronics. **If you have a laptop, please bring it — but come anyway if you don’t!**
