Kick off 2026 with energy, connection, and a little cheering-from-the-stands spirit! This special Connection Café is part pep rally, part orientation, and part birthday party as we celebrate 10 years of SLO Village Movement (SVM).

Whether you’re brand new, recently joined, or have been walking alongside us for years, this gathering is your inside look at what SVM is all about—and where we’re headed next. We’ll share how neighbors get connected, what programs and services are available, how to get involved, and what exciting things are coming in 2026.

We’ll also take a moment to look back at what a decade of connection, mutual support, and community-building has made possible—and why the next chapter matters more than ever.

Come curious. Come ready to meet fellow neighbors. Come help us start 2026 feeling informed, welcomed, and fired up (confetti optional, enthusiasm required).
