Come march with us and our CGS sisters in front of many supportive people.

Start off with dinner with your CTGA friends at Durty Nellie’s in Palatine.  At 8:30 optionally dance to Dancing Queen: An ABBA Salute at the same place.  Dancing Queen tickets $20 cash.

Doors open at 7:00pm and 7:30pm on Zoom. Meeting starts at 8:00pm. When you are transgender, gender diverse or gender non-conforming, coming out to friends, family and work as well transitioning can be complex and challenging to navigate. Wendy Pawelski, Owner of Ivy Lane Counseling, will be providing an overview of her practice and share tips on how to select the right therapist for you. Therapists Justin Irvin and Lauren Mason will lead an interactive discussion about the process of coming out and transitioning. They will emphasize how to navigate rejection while ensuring self-care and provide many insights from their experience as therapists. This should be a fun and interactive discussion for all genders, allies, and anyone who is questioning their gender.

Ticket includes a sit down dinner, cash bar, and live music and dancing with Friday at Five playing high energy classic rock. $75/ticket ($70 + $5 convenience fee for ordering ticket online.)
