Hello!

As you may know, our main sewer line collapsed a few weeks ago. It has taken some time to diagnose the problem and get a team together to fix it. That fix is happening this week!

On the one hand, this is wonderful news, because soon we'll have indoor bathrooms and sinks again. On the other hand, our sidewalk and street on the 6th Ave side is shut down and not accessible.

The shutdown should only be a few days (fingers crossed). But, please plan accordingly for your sessions this week. Telehealth is always available. There are a few spots in front of Books Revisited, including one accessible spot (but remember if you have a placard you can park in any space).

Unfortunately, this is also impacting our Trans Day of Visibility Trans Joy Event! tomorrow (Tuesday). We are still holding an open mic and an HRT event, but not the dance party. So, please do come attend and speak. We hope next year we'll be able to have the joyous event it should be.

Please let us know of any questions!
