Here's What's Happening at the Community Center

Hello Neighbor, As the crisp air of fall settles in and the leaves begin to turn, we’re embracing this season of change and gratitude as we look to this final quarter of the year. October is packed with exciting events, from Nadine Flowers’s Artist’s Reception to a Volunteer Info Night to Halloween fun, and we’re thrilled to have new opportunities to gather all month long. Additionally, we’re excited to announce that we will be the beneficiary of the Bloomin’ 4 Good program in November at Stop and Shop on Bellevue Avenue in Newport. Every designated bouquet you buy brightens a room and supports our mission. We hope to see you soon at one of our upcoming events! Kindly, Amy Mooney Executive Director
P.S. We are compiling our invite list for our Veteran’s Dinner on Monday, November 3rd. Are you a Little Compton veteran and want to ensure you’re on our list? Email info@lccenter.org to confirm.
