U-Calendar
One of the functions of the Unity Committee is to raise funds to help support various causes within the TG & TGI communities.  These funds are raised through various ways, one of which is through fund raising events which you will find scheduled below under Special Engagements.  Fund raising events will be listed as such.

You will also find the various scheduled meetings of the Unity Committee, its various subcommittees, and various Transgender & Transgender-Inclusive & Supportive organizations so that you may be able to better plan your schedule to attend and participate as you see fit.  

NOTE: For security reasons and to protect the anonymity of some of their members, some of the transgender organizations may require a person to go through an interview and screening process before they are allowed to attend a meeting.  Please honor their requests.  This is for your safety and theirs.  

We look forward to seeing you at one of the below events.  Some events may have more information available.  Simply contact that organization.  Also, you may acquire more information concerning an event or organization by clicking on those that are bolded and underlined.  If you have a Trans-inclusive meeting you would like others to know about, please e-mail heres_2_u@theglobe.com.  It will be posted ASAP.
