Event History

The first ever ThanXgiving Youth Social was held back in 2003! The youth members of C.I.T.Y. felt the need to create an activity where youth could socialize in, be in a safe space, meet new friends, watch TV, and enjoy the Thanksgiving Holiday season. At the time, the Social was nothing like what it is today; there were no performances, no sponsors, no event web site, and the food was not catered. The event was originally a potluck and was held at The Spot (in West Hollywood). Both LGBTQ youth and their allies showed up and got to socialize at this activity. But there was still more to come (in the years ahead)...
