Mid-Month Social
As a result of our questionnaire mailing to several San Francisco venues. We have decided to hold the Mid Month at the Coco Club. The Coco club is located at 139 8th street, but the entrance to the club is around the corner on Minna. This is a club Darcy talks about in the Jan 98 newsletter, if you would like to read more about it. Debbie and I were there Wednesday the 29th of July, and it looks like it would make an interesting mid-month. We have had six very positive responses to our questionnaire. All indicating they would like to have us there more often, so I plan to have us visit all of them.

Education Seminar: Feminization of the Face by Dr. Douglas Ousterhout, M.D., D.D.S., F.A.C.S.
Looking feminine, appearing as a female, is of course extremely important to you.  First impressions are often made based just on your face. That which is seen in an initial contact is what frequently defines you. It establishes not only just who you are but frequently what you are as well. As a transsexual, perhaps nothing is more important to you than appearing sexually as you feel emotionally. Facial feminizing surgery can help bring these two together.
Many of the aesthetic surgeries Dr. Ousterhout performs involve changing  facial contours, to modify the basic bony support configuration of the  face. Surgeries such as a rhinoplasty (nasal surgery), chin, cheek, and  forehead modifications (either reduction or augmentation), and modifying  the angle of the lower jaw have frequently been completed for patients  from around the world.  These procedures reduce the differences between a  male and a female skull, and assist in changing one from from distinctly  male to female.  Dr. Outsterhout is also happy to work with those who  wish to be feminized, to any degree, but are not planning on genital  reassignment surgery.
Dr. Ousterhout was certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery  in 1974 and has been in the practice of Plastic Surgery in San Francisco since then. He has fellowships with 18 medical societies, is and has been  on the board of many plastic surgical societies, has helped found one medical journal and has been on the editorial board of four different plastic surgery journals. He is on the Advisory Committee for ÒRecommended Guidelines for Tansgender CareÓ, AEGIS.  In addition to holding staff memberships at several hospitals, he has published scores of scientific papers and the medical textbook ÒAesthetic Contouring of the Craniofacial SkeletonÓ.
Before-and-after slides of some of his patients will be shown side-by- side during his lecture, followed by a question and answer period. When you see his presentation, you'll understand why Dr. Douglas Ousterhout is known by transgendered people around the world. Dr. Ousterhout's helpful  staff may be contacted to arrange a confidential consultation in his  private office at the San Francisco Institute of Plastic Surgery at  Davies Medical Center in San Francisco.  Telephone: 415-626-2888.  1 PM, Upstairs at Kimo's, Polk & Pine Sts., SF. Donations appreciated.

End Of Month Social
Well we were planning to do the Big Shew this month but logistical difficulties have got in the way. So we will be meeting at Charpes for the End of Month Social. I don't have a theme yet but I will try to come up with something before the social. Don't be surprised if there is a new name on the restaurant. I hear they are changing the name. Charpes is located at 131 Gough (about a block north of Market).
