Join Us at the State House on March 13!

AARP Vermont is pleased to announce its Capitol Coffee & State House Tour scheduled for Thursday, March 13, 2025, at the state Capitol in Montpelier. This event promises to be a powerful demonstration of civic engagement, Capitol history, and community advocacy.

This will be a chance for AARP volunteers and community members to connect with lawmakers and raise awareness of issues important to Vermonters aged 50 and over.

Event Highlights Include:

• Connect with Lawmakers: Meet and interact with state legislators, gaining insights into their work and discussing important issues.
• State House Tour: Explore the State House with a guided tour of one of the oldest and best preserved of our nation's state capitals, discovering its rich history and architectural beauty. 
• Refreshments: Enjoy free light refreshments surrounded by people making policies happen.  
• Advocacy Priorities: Learn about AARP Vermont's key advocacy initiatives and how you can get involved in making a difference. 

“This event offers our members and volunteers an opportunity to engage with their elected representatives, to understand the legislative process, and to make sure they know where we stand on issues of concern,” says Colin Hilliard, AARP Vermont Director of Advocacy and Outreach. “It's important for older Vermonters to see their elected representatives at work and for lawmakers to hear directly from their constituents.”

The event underscores AARP Vermont's unwavering commitment to grassroots strategies and direct engagement between older Vermonters and elected officials. It serves as a testament to the organization's dedication to advocacy, community, and the overall betterment of its members' lives.

AARP Vermont invites all volunteers and community members to join them on March 13 at the state Capitol as they stand together in solidarity to advocate for positive change. Don't miss this opportunity to engage with your community and make your voice heard.
