13th Annual TG Weekend
Hi gals,
This is Carla. I am the treasurer for Lambda Mu. This message is going out to
all my non LM contacts. It is not chapter business but I thought
you would all like to know about it. I sent it to myself and have blind
copied all of you.
October 17 through the 20th, 2002, The Chicago Gender Society is presenting
the 13th annual TG Weekend at the Dunes in Douglas, Michigan.
CGS has been sponsoring this event for the previous 12 years as an outing for
their group. Two years ago I went just for the Saturday Benefit Female
Impersonator Show. Last year three of us went for three days.There were about 25
of us and we brought up the idea of letting sisters in Michigan know about the
event. The president of the organization was enthusiastic about the idea and we
have contacted CGS recently and the
enthusiasm remains.
This is a heads up to start saving your nickels and dimes so if you would
like to attend, you will be ready when the time rolls around.
Here is a bit about the gathering lodging etc.
The Dunes Resort in Douglas is the main base. Reservations can be made by
calling the Dunes at 616-857-1401. You can learn a bit about the place by
visiting their web site: http://www.dunesresort.com
You will find the GLBT community and the straight community well-mixed here and
I have never seen any trouble of any kind (I have probably been to the Dunes a
dozen or more times in the last two years).
Meal packages are available and if you stay at the Dunes and are a bit shy,
there is no need to leave the grounds at all, but you will be missing a big part
of the fun. Douglas and Saugatuck are on opposite sides of the Kalamazoo River.
The two towns have been GLBT acceptant for longer than I can remember (I learned
there were others like me there when I was about 14 and Carla is 61). There are
good restaurants, shopping, and fun shops to poke your head into. The Fenn
Valley Winery is nearby and tours are available. Thursday is something new this
year and the officers of CGS are going to try to have golf available.
Jenny (a local "girl") and I are promoting this event because we
have met the people (they are great) and we both hear all too often that
"THERE IS NOTHING TO DO IN WEST MICHIGAN FOR A T GIRL" ( Actually
there is. On June 22, I am going to a one person FI show at the Dunes. The
problem is this stuff is not publicized very widely.) CGS MAKES NOTHING from
this event. The Dunes make the room rent and meals and drinks they
sell. A meal package of Fri. and Sat. supper and Sat. and Sunday breakfast is
available. Last year you could also get single meal tickets for the dinners.
Jenny and I have a pretty complete list of motels in the area and are going
to update the costs before August and have that information available for those
who wish to contact us. For girls who live close
enough, you can commute.
THERE! Long message but start saving those $$. It is a fun get-together.
There are no seminars and no speakers, just lots of schmooze time with
other "girls".
As more information becomes available, Jenny and I will send additional
messages. We are planning on another message similar to this in August
and September and will include more detail as it becomes available.
Carla & Jenny
