Let your creative spirit run free. A series of art workshops are in the planning stage. Each month a different art medium will be available at the Gender Centre, held one night a week over a three week period. No experience necessary as expert guidance will be provided and materials will be free or at a minimal cost. Your ideas or input would be welcomed to help us structure these events.

At the Gender Centre we are interested in hearing from any parents of people with gender issues who are interested in getting together to discuss the issues parents face.

Wednesday morning drop-in at the Gender Centre is proving very popular. No appointment necessary ... come in and have a cuppa and a chat from 10:00am till around midday.

The first and third Tuesday night of each month from 6:30 to 8:30pm is also a time to socialise at the Gender Centre. We can share a meal, watch a video, discuss issues or just chat. Come along and share your ideas.

Re-vamp morning, Wednesday 31st May. Tragic mistake or just a little too much good living? Whatever the reason, you can swap or sell those unwanted clothes at the Gender Centre drop-in morning between 10:00am and noon. Hopefully this will become a regular monthly activity, so dust off that old gear and come along.

Don't forget, any photos taken at the Centre can be purchased for 60 cents each plus postage if required.

For more information on any of these activities contact Sophie at the Gender Centre during office hours on (02) 9569 2366.
