Stroll through the tulip fields on your way out to the Farmhouse Inn Restaurant for the April SYP After Hours on April 6th at 5:30pm. We’ll be in the lounge munching on some great appetizers and sipping cocktails. The Farmhouse Inn is located at 13724 LaConner Whitney Rd. in Mount Vernon.
This year the Chamber Ambassador Committee and Skagit Young Professionals created a “We Wish You a Merry Grinchmas” themed tree for the Annual Festival of Trees fundraiser for the Skagit Valley Hospital Foundation. The tree raised the highest amount of all trees at $4,000, won Designer’s Choice Award as well as People’s Choice Award. The mini tree, which is a replica of the actual tree, raised $650. The Festival of Trees grossed over $255,000 for the Behavioral Care Center at Skagit Valley Hospital! Thank you to everybody who had a part in making the tree a success. It took many donors, volunteers and a fantastic designer, Janey Dodge of Shellan Jewelers, to put together such a great tree.

Starting on Friday, September 11th, Skagit Young Professionals will be meeting every Friday @ 4:00 at Max Dales Steak & Chop House in Mount Vernon.
All SYP meetings are open to everyone and reservations for the Fridays @ 4:00 meetings are not required. Kickoff Coffee has taken place every Monday morning for the past 2 years. Speakers have included county commissioners and elected officials, local real estate and investment experts, directors of local non profit agencies and a number of other professionals in our community. The SYP Leadership Group decided it was time to make a change to the schedule and starting September 11th we will be meeting every Friday @ 4:00 at Max Dales Steak & Chop House for appetizers, drinks and great conversation. SYP also hosts an evening networking event every first Tuesday of the month from 5:30 to 7:00.
