Voters' Forum a Success!

On Friday August 20th, CPNRI hosted a Voters' Education Forum at the Airport Sheraton in Warwick. Over 100 attendees heard presentations by Lt. Governor, Elizabeth Roberts; Linda Ward of Opportunities Unlimited and Rory Carmody of CranstonArc; Steve Quirk of the RI Board of Canvassors; and Charles Fogarty on the importance of voting. Thank you to all of our speakers for making this a great event and to the agencies that provided their time, resources and support ~ we couldn't do it without you!

Support the Gail Badessa Memorial Fund

spurwinkri and the Badessa Family have established the "Gail Badessa Memorial Fund for Cultural Experiences" in Gail's memory.

The fund offers opportunities through grants in the areas of arts, music, sports, education, and travel to children and adults with developmental disabilities and/or behavior disorders.

Over $225,000 has been raised through the memorial fund event over the past seven years, and 25 grants have been awarded.
