We have Monthly meetings (the third Sat. at 8PM) in a safe location with protected off street parking which is easy to drive to in the New Haven area. WE are the "T" in the GLBT (Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual/Transgender) acceptance organization. We don't meet in church basements or hide in motel rooms. We have 5 spacious rooms, a kitchen, pool table area, library, computer room, 53" TV, couches, chairs, plants, 2 spotless bathrooms, etc. Lots of walking area and can accommodate possibly 60 people for one of our lectures. In addition to our monthly meetings which has speakers or some form of entertainment, we also hold annual Halloween and Xmas parties, dinner engagements and other activities.
We have a monthly newsletter, and you get all local information plus articles, tips, etc. We are an "open" club which means we discriminate against no one. ANYONE, who is a CD/TV/TS/TG and their wives/friends etc., is invited to join us, be they male/female, CD/TV/TS/TG, gay/bi/straight, black/white, Hispanic/oriental/etc., rich/poor, old/young, Protestant/Jewish/Catholic or whatever ... gee did I cover everything??? Our current membership is mainly male to female TGs from the ages of mid 20's to late 70's. We are a social but also a support group. We have annually held an outreach program for Physicians / Psychotherapists / and those with questions, to our 'TRANSGENDER SEMINAR' in September. We have an Endocrinologist, Psychotherapist and Hypotricologist (hair removal) available.
Highlight of our existence includes a Female Impersonator Show, "Boys will be Girls" which we produced in 1987 and raised $3,125.00 for the Connecticut Children's Medical Center in Hartford. We have donated to the 9/11 Relief fund through the Red Cross. We are accepted and invited to attend en femme, plays and shows at Long Wharf Theater, Yale Repertory Theater and Schubert Theaters in New Haven, Palace Theater in Stamford, Goodspeed Opera House in Haddam as well as several other restaurants and places of business.

2 ) I know & I understand that many members are deeply closeted for various reasons. Originally, it was my belief that if you can't make it to at least one meeting, why even bother to join? But since then, I have had this intuition that my re-enforcement of the "Attendance Requirement" rule that had been started up by Denise, has made me a lot less popular among those members that are closeted. I must say that I am sorry about that. So I am trying to find some sort of common ground here that will be acceptable to everyone.
3 ) This year, the matter of the September Seminar ever occurring is a uncertain prospect due to the continual decrease in attendance over the last three years. If you want the situation to change then help me to do something about it! Step forward & volunteer! You can do one of the following...: Get speakers to commit to keeping a date on their calendars for the September Seminar - OR - Offer to help with the food set up. - OR - Help with the setting up of the Meeting hall such as the moving of the furniture & set up of the chairs for members. Those are just three three items that don't take too much effort on your part to assist in making this years Seminar just as good as it was several years ago.
4 ) I will no longer be sending out the Newsletter Via E-mail. Since I took command of the situation, I now have more than enough on my hands as it stands now. That means that IF you want to read a newsletter, you will have to sign on & go to the newsletters. However...! IF you are one of those that likes receiving the Newsletter Via E-mail, then step forward & volunteer to take over the task of Emailing all members currently listed in the "Members Only" section. If you want more content in the newsletters, send snippets so I can add them into the editing process.
5 ) Summer attendance: If the past three years are any indication of what attendance will be like during the months of June, July & August I just might consider a temporary hiatus for those months. That means that there may not be a meeting for three months due to almost no attendance in the past three years. IF you want Jeannette & I to keep the doors open, please say something about it! But before I make it official, Jeannette & I will set up one more meeting for May 19. IF the attendance has improved, I will follow it up with another meeting in June, so on & so forth until the September Seminar.
6 ) A important note for prospective new members: So! You want to be a member, Huh? Well...? Due to a vast majority of problems with new & old members, I will no longer be accepting applications. However, IF you want to join, just show up a a meeting & let me know. You can get directions from me by clicking on my E-mail link at the top of this page. The other Option, is to join the Yahoo division of the cTView. It's the same thing but just a separate collective inside of Yahoo & it is run by one of the members.
That pretty much covers everything that I can think of for now. Please check back regularly for more notices & overall changes to the web site.
