Out with the old, in with the new [Monthly Community Meeting]

Meeting description: We’ve almost made it! 2017 is mercifully coming to a close. Join FORGE at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 16, 2017 for a celebratory and 2018 planning party. We’ll eat together (FORGE will provide the food – vegetarian and meat options), enjoy a free trans-focused raffle, and – most importantly – talk about what FORGE and the larger trans community can do to help make 2018 better for all of us.
About that raffle: all attendees will receive free tickets just for showing up, but you can get extra tickets for each item you bring for the Gender Expression Project and/or each item of food you contribute to the LGBT Community Center’s Food Pantry (see below for details on what’s especially needed).
Donations to LGBT Community Center Food Pantry:  We encourage you to bring food donations for the Milwaukee LGBT Community Center’s food pantry when you attend the December 16, 2017 FORGE monthly meeting.  The Pantry is used by Project Q and other participants in Center activities who are hungry and/or need food to take home.  All kinds of non-perishable foods are acceptable, but they are especially happy to receive ready-to-eat items with substance and protein which people could eat cold out of the container or heat up if they have the resources, in cans with pull tops or the like so they don’t require a can opener. This would include items like canned stew and canned spaghetti w/meat. Microwave meals would also be valuable additions (either frozen or add hot water), like hot pockets and cup-o-noodles etc.
