providing for the personal growth and fulfillment of those whose lives are affected by crossdressing
OVERVIEW
Alpha Omega is the support organization for crossdressers, their
families and friends. We were formerly affiliated with the Society for the Second Self
(Tri-Ess), a the national organization dedicated to bringing peace of
mind to heterosexual crossdressers and enlightenment to the general public. The Alpha Omega
Society had and still has similar goal: to provide support to those affected by
crossdressing and inform the public. We hope we can enable them to feel
better about themselves, and the people around them. This is done by giving our members a chance to come
together and interact in a secure setting or, if meeting attendance is not
possible, by publishing a newsletter which gives the news-of and views-of fellow
crossdressers, spouses, significant others and other interested persons.
Alpha Omega has around 25 members, of which about 12 regularly attend
meetings. Ages range from young to senior citizen. All types of occupations;
blue collar, white collar and professional, are represented. The majority of
members are married. While Alpha Omega has as yet to take in its first female
crossdresser, there are a number of wives/girlfriends of male crossdressers who
are members and who regularly attend meeting.
MEETINGS
Alpha Omega meets on the second Saturday of each month is a suburb of
Cleveland. Meeting consist of a social period followed by dinner. There is
a brief business meeting after dinner, generally followed by a speaker or
program whenever possible. In the past, after the program, some members
went "out on
the town". No one currently makes a habit of this, and in any
event those who are not so inclined can continue to socialize at the
meeting place. A nominal meeting fee (Members $12, or $20 for a couple, non-members
$18 for an individual or $30 for a couple) is charged to all who attend to cover the
cost of the meeting hall, refreshments, etc. Rooms for changing are
available at no additional charge.
The voice of Alpha Omega, "La Femme Silhouette" newsletter, is
published on a monthly basis. Copies are sent each month to our members, other
crossdressers' groups nationwide and to select professional who deal with our
subculture.

Anyone interested in attending a meeting, be they a prospective
member, with/girlfriend or guest of a member must go through an interview
conducted by members of the membership committee. The process is relatively
painless, but must be done for the security of those who already attend meeting.
