Thursday, August 7th | 6-9pm
Join us for an evening of great eats and drinks at Bennington's newest hot spot – Pearl's at Village Garage 🔥
Pearl’s at the Garage blends southern-style comfort food with a Vermont twist—featuring house-smoked meats, hearty fixin’s, and classic sides prepared with attention to craft and flavor.
We will be meeting and hanging out on the patio (weather permitting), so make sure to come out and celebrate a beautiful summer with fellow SYP members and the community!
This event is open to the public.
Sunday, August 17th | 12-4pm
Join us on Sunday August 17th from 12pm-4pm for our 2nd annual New Vermonters Welcome Picnic! 🌞
This event is open to newcomers who have moved to the region in the past 1-5 years!
Come with us to beautiful Lake Shaftsbury State Park for a day of sun, fun, and food for all ages! Besides the amazing water activities you can do at the lake, we will have yard games and other great activities in store.
This family-friendly event is part of our efforts to help build community and roots for newcomers to our state. So feel free to share with other New Vermonters in the region!
Admission is completely free for all new vermonters and their families.
Tickets are limited, so be sure to reserve your spot soon, and please make sure to reserve tickets for any family members or friends planning to join you!
Saturday, August 16th | 9am-12pm
Join SYP as we take on our annual volunteer day with Second Chance Animal Shelter in Arlington, VT!
Help us give back to our furry friends at Second Chance by helping to clean the facility and outdoor areas. When we’re done with the hard work, we will visit and play with the animals as well.
If a few get adopted, even better!
Children are allowed with parental discretion – we will mostly be cleaning, so if they are old enough to tag along, then please feel free to bring them.
We hope to see you all there!
