http://www.firstevent.us/program/keynote/* Tiffany's Closet (formerly the consignment store) is a great way for those new to crossdressing or the transition process to get started with a wardrobe in a safe environment with expert advice. (Also a cheap way to supplement any girl's wardrobe.) This year we will have clothes for transmen too. We are gratefully accepting donations for the store at the clubhouse whenever it is open. This is a good way to help out the trans community, make room for new stuff in your closet, and get rid of your other-gender clothes. Learn more here:
http://www.firstevent.us/vendors/consignment-shop/* Friday is once again Fashion Show Night! Men and Women on the catwalk to show you the best fashion trends. Read all about what we have in store at

The free luncheon's emcee is Alex Solange, of Fenway Institute and will be open to Saturday's registered conference attendees, volunteers or presenters who were assigned female at birth and who feel that is not a complete or accurate description of their gender. Transmasculine attendees can meet presenters and get to know other people at the conference.
