Parking is generally handy along St. Helens, particularly north from the meeting location, or just around the corner on Market Street.

Regular meetings generally involve a bit of socializing, and a discussion of topics of interest. Snacks are usually available. $5.00 donation is suggested. The confidentiality and privacy of all attendees is always respected.

Often, after regular meetings, members of the group gather at a local restaurant to continue our conversations. Guests are welcome to accompany us, as well.

On months that have a FIFTH Friday, G.A.S.S. presents its "Fifth Friday Social", a more casual gathering that also usually takes place at the Rainbow Center. Sign up for the Yahoo Group to keep informed of these special events, and everything else going on with G.A.S.S..

In conjuction with the Olympia Trans Discussion Group, G.A.S.S. now periodic Olympia Meetings. These take at the Olympia Freeschool, 610 Columbia Street, Olympia, WA.

We encourage you to come to one of our meetings to get to know us. You don't have to come dressed (though it's a lot more fun if you do!). If you can't dress at home, you can change inside our building. We are really looking forward to meeting you. By meeting-time, parking is generally ample along the street.

Significant others, family and friends are also very welcome at any of our meetings. Additionally, G.A.S.S. is now offering dedicated meetings strictly for our "SOFFAs" (significant others, family, friends and allies). These meetings are designed to address the special concerns of those who are are trying to cope with and understand why their spouses, boyfriends, girlfriends, child or friend would want to crossdress or actually permanently change their gender. This group is generally facilitated by a person also dealing with these issues but also ready to provide support and education for those seeking to better understand the many forms of transgenderism. We do ask that the transgendered person NOT attend these meetings, so that our SOFFAs may feel free to discuss these issues in a less inhibited manner.
