Tag Archives: The Retake

Hey!!!  Thanks for stopping by!

We had our 2nd Annual Block Party this past weekend and it was such a blast!!!  The kids had so much fun having their faces painted and playing in the bounce house, and the adults had just as much fun eating bbq while enjoying live bands…we just want to take the time to say a big, heart-felt thank you to all those who came through to support the cause.

First off, let’s thank the bands that came out and played…they did an amazing job keeping us entertained throughout the afternoon…be sure to check them out when you get a chance – you won’t be disappointed:

  • The Brosvenors
  • The Retake
  • Linda Cantone
  • 33 Lights
  • Shawn Dennison

Thanks so much for taking a Saturday afternoon out of your schedule to come play for our fundraiser!

We’d like to thank all the donors as well as well.   We had sooooo many donations – from food to gifts and prizes for the raffles…I am amazed at the outpouring of the business community here in Rhode Island…thank you so much for helping us stretch toward our goals!

Finally, we’d like to thank all the wonderful volunteers who spent countless hours dreaming this event up and then turning it into a reality…it would not have been possible without you…the RI Dream Center has some of the best volunteers in the world, and we appreciate each and every one of you.   Thank you volunteers – you are the heart and soul of RIDC…

The weather was perfect and a great time was had by all.  I must admit, though, I think Dan had the most fun – check out Facebook for a couple of videos of Dan in the dunk tank!!!  Do you think anyone was able to dunk him?  You’ll have to watch the videos to find out!!!
