ANNOUNCEMENT

Dear friends,

Here is up-to-date programme of our Transgender Pride Conference to
be held in Helsinki, Finland, December 29-31, 1994. No major changes
are expected to it, but a couple of facilitators may not be able to
come. Therefore we are still glad to hear about suggestions of 
alternative workshops in case some of the scheduled ones would be 
canceled. We also wish to have your registrations in near future to
figure out more exact amount of participants the confererence
arrangements should be made for; facilities, servings, transportation
and such.

Welcome to Helsinki!

On behalf of organizing commitee
