Claudine Schneider Returns to RI

The only woman Rhode Islanders have elected to represent them in Washington D.C. is returning to the state to speak at a reception to honor female political leaders. Former U.S. Representative Claudine Schneider will receive the Isabelle Ahearn O'Neill award for female officeholders at the YWCA Northern Rhode Island's fourth annual celebration honoring female leaders. Schneider, who now lives in Colorado, represented Rhode Island's second district as a Republican congresswoman from 1981 until 1991. The event is scheduled to take place Monday, April 30 at Bryant University. "We're just about encouraging women to run for office to make sure that women's voices are heard, especially now," said Deborah Perry, chief executive officer of the YWCA...

Choose Your 'Only in Rhody' Adventure

Learn to kayak along the Blackstone River, look for ghosts, visit some of the sites that inspired “The Family Guy.” Those are just a few of the ways you can experience what makes Rhode Island great. For the ninth year, Tour Rhode Island is showcasing some of the beauty, history, nature, culture and yes, quirkiness, that characterizes Rhode Island. There are fifteen tours to choose from on Saturday, May 5, ranging from cycling along the East Bay Bike Path and an adult treasure hunt with GPS, to tours of the hidden African-American history of College Hill and Providence’s new Independence Trail.

Rubber Ducky Fun(draising)

All eyes are on the river. Spectators try to catch a glimpse of their pick in a mass of 20,000, but it’s not easy. The competition is beak-in-beak. The thrill of the Pawcatuck River Duck Race is upon us once again, and there’s still time to bet on a rubber friend and get the chance to win more than ninety prizes, including an all-inclusive trip for four to Walt Disney World or $2,500 in cash. The winning prize might sound like a long shot, but at least your $5 duck will benefit more than forty-five schools and nonprofit organizations in the Westerly-Pawcatuck area, including Cathy's Rottie Rescue, Save The Bay and the Riverfront Children's Center. But what about the disappointed kids in tow, who waited hours for a win? Their tears will dry quicker than...
