Sober Tea Parties are held periodically, approximately 3 -4 times per year.

Join friends in recovery or folx who just don’t need alcohol to have a good time! These unique sober tea parties are an excellent space to gather in a non-judgmental, supportive space to have fun and meet new friends and community members!

 

Pink Drinks is informal, loosely organized, networking and gathering function offered monthly to the e-mail list. It is intended to provide an opportunity to bring together adults (ages 21+) of the Central Maryland area LGBTQ community and allies to encourage friendship, conversation, and community involvement. Hosts volunteer, so the event moves each month to a different location.

Pink Drinks is very informal: BYOB drinks. The host provides simple light finger food, plates, napkins, ice, glasses, and name tags. Don’t expect a meal. The consumption of alcoholic beverages is in no way required (many don’t) and anyone over-indulging will be banned from future events. The focus is on initiating connections for building a community.

Cost: BYOB, suggested donation, RSVP required

RSVP: Ticket for each person required, even if you know the hosts. You can add guests to your reservation of one on the registration screen. It is fine if your guests are not on the TFC list. The host sets the limit to the number of attendees. If your plans change please adjust your reservation to give others a chance to attend (this event frequently fills up).

TFC respects the privacy and will not provide e-mail addresses to anyone, you can drop off the TFC list at any time. Signup is self-serve and requires email verification so watch your inbox after signing up. This invitation is NOT to be posted publicly by others, instead, privately share and encourage friends to self-join our list to receive future invitations.

LGBT Dungeons and Dragons is a safe, affirming space for LGBTQ+ folks and their friends to gather, build new community connections, and try their hand at Dungeons and Dragons! No experience is needed, and beginners are welcome.

We organize both one-shot and ongoing campaigns for this program via our TFC D&D discord. You can join the discord by emailing [email protected] for the link.

This event takes place every other week for adults, and every other week for youth under 18. Check the calendar to be sure of which event is happening this Friday.
