New volunteer opportunities: photography and a cross-country meet

 

So far in 2022, over 100 of Roger Williams Park’s friends and neighbors have contributed thousands of dollars worth of labor. You have planted trees and other native plants, painted fencing, removed trash, hosted events, and generally supported the terrific Providence Parks Department in keeping the park beautiful and vibrant.

And there is more to do! Consider lending your skills to these important volunteer opportunities in the next two months:

Photography: Do you take unique, high-quality photos of Roger Williams Park, especially of little-known corners of the park? Would you like to? We are assembling the 2023 Roger Williams Park calendar and we need your help. Send us your photos or get in touch and we will talk with you about arranging some photo shoots.

Cross-country Meet: We need your help hosting this year’s Fall-Comers 5k Cross Country race on Saturday, October 29 with local Olympian, Molly Huddle. We need 5 to 10 people to pick up equipment, set up the course, marshal the course, and return the equipment. You don’t have to be an Olympian, or even a runner, to help. Get in touch, proceeds from the race benefit young local athletes and the park.

 

It’s officially one month until Rosé in the Roses on June 11! 🌹We can’t wait to see everyone dressed in their garden party best – including statement-making headwear! Thank you to all the fashionistas who attended our Fascinator Workshop at the Botanical Center and created some show-stopping floral accessories with the help of instructor Michelle Carden. 

Even if you missed the workshop, you have full permission to get creative with your Rosé look! Get your tickets by the end of May to enjoy an evening of mingling at the @rwpbotanicalcenter and Rose Maze, delicious bites by Ellie’s Bakery and Morin’s Catering, Mahjong with the @thegildedbirds, entertainment from the @theprovidencedrumtroupe, live music by @luisgilbertord and Ashley Frith, and more! 

Special thanks to our event sponsors: @beacon.bank, @beaulinemedia, Audrey and Ed Clifton, Meredith Curren and Gary Frishman, History and Conservation Associates, @morinscatering, @elliesprov, and @wemakepretend.

Can it be Friday at Roger Williams Park every day, please? 🥙🍿🎠

This past Friday was especially awesome thanks to a preview show from Ringling featuring talented acrobats, a Movies in the Park screening of The Greatest Showman, and, of course, Food Truck Friday!

Thank you to everyone who made it happen:
