Center on Halsted is hosting a "T" Town Hall, on Thursday September 27, at 7:00pm. The event will be held at Center on Halsted (3656 N. Halsted) in the John Baran Senior Center (SAGE space). A panel of local community representatives, including Nick Winter, Casey Schwartz, Laura Grimes, Logan Grimes and others will be leading the discussion and there will be audience participation. We invite you to join us for this important conversation. With the panelist's ideas and the audience's contributions, we can be certain that many important and creative ideas will be heard and that Center on Halsted will be of meaningful service to the Chicagoland transgender community.
