June 7 – We welcomed members of the Southern Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce to the new Healing Grounds Café at South County Hospital for a First Friday Coffee networking event.
June 12 – The Auxiliary Fashion Show at the Dunes Club drew a full-capacity crowd, who enjoyed a delightful lunch and fashion show while raising over $70,000 to support the Auxiliary.
