Our purpose is to foster cultural resilience and strengthen the Cantonese diasporic community in rural Vermont through fellowship, community-based learning, and support for local BIPOC-owned restaurants. Established in December 2022, the club has grown to over 20 members, meeting monthly at restaurants in the Chittenden County area for Cantonese conversation practice. The club's growth is driven by the necessity to preserve our minority language and culture. Our membership comprises multi-generational Cantonese families who are committed to creating a strong sense of community, affinity, and sustainable traditions.Beyond language revival, the club exists to promote bottom-up decision-making and provide educational resources that are not readily available within the predominantly white and monolingual Vermont community. By focusing on member-led education like re/upskilling, professional development, home and garden, and international issues, we strive to build a supportive network that celebrates and maintains our unique cultural heritage while contributing to the diverse fabric of Vermont society.
