60 Young Professionals made the trek out to Silverton to the Oregon Garden for August's event. Featured as part of the evening was live music, appetizers, wine, and tram tours of the garden property and the new Moonstone resort. The resort opens officially this September and includes overnight lodging, a full restaurant, lounge, spa, and meeting facilities.

A special thanks to the staff at the Oregon Garden and Moonstone properties for extending such a warm invitation to YoungPros at a great value.

As YoungPros move into the fall, after hours events will be more intermixed with monthly gatherings over breakfast and lunch. Plan on joining other 20 and 30 somethings who have a passion for Salem at the September event taking place at the Oregon Capitol building. YoungPros will meet in the Galleria at 5:30pm and will enjoy two after hour tours of the facility.
