In case there was any confusion about precisely where to meet and when, this memo clears it up:
Concerning the gathering for Transgender Day of Remembrance, I've seen several conflicting times. However, the latest, and probably most accurate is from David Massey, the Secretary/Treasurer of the local PFLAG chapter and Spectrum Cafe:
"This coming Friday, Nov. 20, marks the 11th annual "International Transgender Day of Remembrance" -- a time to memorialize persons who have been killed as a result of anti-transgender hatred or prejudice.
In Knoxville -- thanks to the leadership of an enterprising U.T. student -- there is an opportunity for folks to gather, remember, learn and demonstrate their support for individuals who dare to live and present themselves as who they truly are.
Gather at 5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 20, at the corner of Kingston Pike and Concord Street, near the UT campus. You can park at the Tennessee Valley UU Church, 2931 Kingston Pike, just a short distance west of the Concord/Kingston Pike intersection. Feel free to bring signs. Sign-making materials will be available. This event will last until 6:30; come for the whole time or just for a few moments.
For more on the Day of Remembrance, visit www.transgender.org. And for insight into local politics and struggles, visit http://ttgpac.com -- the Website of the Tennessee Transgender Political Coalition.
Before heading out to eat... or to a movie... please come show your support for the courageous individuals who choose to be themselves and for those who have died at the hands of hate and prejudice.
For more information, contact Whitney Hill at 661-8184."
If you could please post this correction or in addition to your blurb about tomorrow, it would be appreciated.
Thanks again,
