JCS’ TOYS for TOTS & Teens Program

The JCS Alumni Club would like to welcome you to be a part of this years’ TOYS for TOTS & Teens Program.

Volunteers can help set-up TOTS For TOTS & TEENS boxes / bins during the month of November as they need to designate stores, offices, gyms, dealerships, retail outlets, etc, early in the process since a traditional 1st appearance as a Presentation will be made in December. We do this at the Warwick Mall in conjunction with U.S. Marines Foundation.

These new, unwrapped (required protective items) gifts – TOTS For TOTS & Teens – are collected by the JCS up to 12/16/19 – they are then loaded in U.S. Marine vehicles & Volunteers and then distributed by a pre-determined list (statewide) to youth & teens as wonderful Christmas & Holiday gifts.

For more information, call (401) 828-9191 or e-mail wwjayceeskc@aol.com — P.O. Box 348, W. Warwick, R.I. 02893

Santa Claus is taking time away from his North Pole workshop to join us for our annual pancake breakfast.

The best way to spread Christmas cheer is shopping small and drinking beer!

Join us at The Guild for Hoppy Holidays, a festive pop-up village filled with artisans, beer, food trucks and music.

On December 7th and 8th, this gorgeous historic feeling campus will house 60+ artisans curated by Field of Artisans. You can shop their work in the beer hall, brewery, bottling and barn spaces, each with its own bar. Saturday and Sunday will feature a different mix of artisans. Hoppy Holidays will be a joyful and inspirational place to explore. We can’t wait!

A Light Shines in the Darkness…The Concert for Hope

Under the direction of Dr. Brian Cardany, the Ocean State Pops Orchestra tonight begins a new tradition, and presents the inaugural “Concert for Hope”. This special Christmas concert will benefit the Hope Alzheimer’s Center.

We invite you to step away from the frantic rush and commercial blitz of the holiday season, and come to Saint Kevin Church in Warwick to experience community and contemplate the joyful celebration of Christmas though music.

Tonight’s concert will feature a range of selections, from introspective to jubilant, with opportunities for audience participation on some well-known Christmas carols. The Orchestra will be joined by the combined CCRI and Roger Williams University Choruses, and special guest soloist Marissa DiBiase.

It is our hope that each audience member leaves the concert with a sense of optimism and filled with an abundance of joy.

Tickets: $15 + processing fee

About the Hope Alzheimer’s Center

Since 1995, the Hope Alzheimer’s Center has served individuals with Alzheimer’s disease or related forms of progressive cognitive impairment, and their families. Programs are specifically designed to preserve the highest possible levels of health and functional independence in a safe and comfortable environment.

The Center’s programs improve the quality of life for people with memory loss, allowing families to delay, or in some cases, avoid entirely the need for placement in a nursing home

Family caregivers are able to continue employment or manage other responsibilities with peace of mind, knowing their loved one is in the care of a loving and well-trained staff. Ongoing health monitoring and functional supports help in prevention and early identification of serious health issues. The Center is a happy place where laughter is heard every day.

As a state-of-the art dementia day center, the Center’s design has been repeatedly published and visited by architects and physicians from around the globe. Its programs and services are frequently highlighted by regional television and print media, as well as national trade journals.

Participants at all stages of the disease come from cities and towns throughout Rhode Island, and from a wide range of socio-economic, linguistic and ethnic backgrounds. Fees are paid by families, long-term care insurance policies, and government support programs, including Medicaid and the state co-pay program. No one is turned away for financial reasons.

Since the government programs do not cover the full cost of services, Hope relies on philanthropy to meet its program and facility expenses.

The Hope Alzheimer’s Center is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization.

A juried market of high-quality unique works made by local artists.
Arts Market Dates: 
Friday, December 13th 5:30pm – 7:30pm and Saturday,  December 14th, 10am – 3pm
Event Address: Jamestown Arts Center, 18 Valley St, Jamestown RI 02835

RAIN DATE: 12/15/2019

It’s a tradition spanning more than a quarter of a century…

It started with the Scott family, who moved to Stone Ridge from New Mexico, where paper displays are the tradition. According to Anne Sauerbrey, on an afternoon in December that first year, the women of the neighborhood and their young children got together to fold their bags. They were told the bags were to be folded three times: in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. In Mexican tradition, the luminaria lights the way for the Christ child.

After the supplies are paid for by the Stone Ridge residents (thanks to our wonderful Luminaria Committee who organizes this adventure for us), all of the net proceeds are donated to the East Greenwich Holiday Food Basket Program.

We welcome the entire community to enjoy our neighborhood’s holiday tradition so please spread the word to your family and friends.

Join us for an annual Odeum tradition – It’s A Wonderful Life!

George Bailey spends his entire life giving up his big dreams for the good of his town, Bedford Falls, as we see in flashback. But in the present, on Christmas Eve, he is broken and suicidal over the misplacing of an $8000 loan and the machinations of the evil millionaire Mr. Potter. His guardian angel, Clarence, falls to Earth, literally, and shows him how his town, family, and friends would have turned out if he had never been born. George meant so much to so many people; should he really throw it all away?

We’re planning our 2nd Annual Holiday Kick Off Events. We’re going to hold 2 events this year- The first on Sat, Nov 30th where we’ll have various activities throughout the square for kids and adults. The 2nd on Saturday, Dec 21 where we’ll have luminaries to welcome in the start of Hanukkah (which begins the following night).

We have the lower school singers from Moses Brown School back this year and we’re looking for other performers of all ages to take part throughout the day.

Local Circus Smirkus performer Ilyse Bryan will be performing in the windows of Lululemon from 12-4! Click the youtube link to see her in action.

Come join us for a magical holiday matinee screening of The Polar Express!

Santa Claus does not exist. Or does he? For one doubting boy, an astonishing event occurs. Late on Christmas Eve night, he lies in bed hoping to hear the sound of reindeer bells from Santa’s sleigh. When to his surprise, a steam engine’s roar and whistle can be heard outside his window. The conductor invites him on board to take an extraordinary journey to the North Pole with many other pajama-clad children. There, he receives an extraordinary gift only those who still believe in Santa can experience.
