  • held the second Earth Gay Vermont at local queer- and trans-owned Circle Mountain Farm
  • recorded over 30 hours of interviews with local LGBTQ trailblazers who founded and participated in Andrew's Inn, a gay bar in Bellows Falls from 1972-1985
  • maintained monthly programming through Played Out! Monthly game night, Friday Night Group for LGBTQ youth, and trans night
  • trained 150+ local social service agency employees on how to best work with and support LGBTQ people
  • held our second annual Pride Family Picnic celebrating their LGBTQ families
  • organized an LGBTQ community vigil in 6 hours after the Orlando shooting
  • organized a gathering in the wake of the November 8th election, held on November 9th
  • organized two workshops and provided on-going support to 30+ local trans people who are looking to change documents before January 20
