SUMMARY:Trans Tabletop Night + Candy Land Cafe
DESCRIPTION:Trans Day of Visibility is coming up\, and we know that day can bring up a lot of complex emotions! We wanted to create a community space where you don’t have to worry about visibility bringing harm\, and instead can come and be seen as you truly are. Join us for Trans Tabletop Night\, where you can hang out with trans folks (and loved ones/allies)\, play board games\, and enjoy drinks at our Candy Land Cafe! Feel free to bring your own board games\, but we will also bring ours! \n\n\n\nEvent takes place at 6-8pm at the YSB drop in: 147 Besserer St on the main floor. Masks are mandatory in the main space (we will provide one if you don’t have one!)\, but there will be a separate area where they may be removed to eat.
