Happy Autumn<\/p>\n

\u201cCommunity and Opportunity\u201d<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been in RI for a few years now.\u00a0 The longer we’ve been here, the more sense of\u00a0 community I have felt. \u00a0We have friends we\u2019ve gotten to know, and many groups we\u2019ve been involved with.<\/p>\n

When Emily was a toddler I joined a mom’s group.\u00a0 I attended events and meetings and made some great friends.\u00a0 I was the secretary of that group for two years and really enjoyed being a part of it.<\/p>\n

I started to get involved with other groups over time as well.\u00a0 I joined a business networking group where I met other business owners.\u00a0 An online Women\u2019s Business Owners group formed, and I became active with them.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m so thankful for these people\u00a0 I\u2019ve met ,and look forward to meeting many others.<\/p>\n

This year I\u2019m on the board of the PTO at our kids school.\u00a0 Though I am a little nervous, I know it\u2019s another opportunity to be an active part of the community.\u00a0 There\u2019s always a need to be part of the community.\u00a0\u00a0 Community brings people together to share and help each other.<\/p>\n

I feel my connection with the local art community is growing too.\u00a0 With my exhibit at BankRI I was able to show my work and meet people, which was very exciting.<\/p>\n

I also joined the Pawtucket Art Collaborative<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 They\u2019re a local arts community in Pawtucket.\u00a0 It\u2019s a group where artists can get together and bring the arts to the community through shows.<\/p>\n

Every August through Sept. the group puts on \u201cThe Pawtucket Arts Festival<\/a>“. \u00a0 There are art shows, music, and performances as well as many other events.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m participating in the Festival’s Open Studio Days.\u00a0 I\u2019ll be exhibiting my work on Sept. 25th and 26th.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s wonderful to be a part of the events going on and especially seeing and meeting others at these events.<\/p>\n
