AUTUMNFEST VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

 

Woonsocket - Autumnfest Steering Committee needs people to volunteer their talents so Autumnfest will once again be a success.  The Autumnfest Celebration is held every Columbus Day Weekend at World War II Veteran’s Memorial Park in Woonsocket, RI.  Columbus Day Weekend is October 7, 8 & 9.

 

Volunteers are and have always been the back bone of Autumnfest.  Without the efforts of countless volunteers working behind the scenes, Autumnfest cannot be the incredible success it is.

 

Here is your chance to be part of this great festival.  All skills are needed.  Young, old, handi-capable, it does not matter, Autumnfest can use you. Youth organizations are encouraged to volunteer as well.

 

If interested or for more information, please contact Autumnfest Volunteer Coordinator, Tony Gabriele at (401)309-1028 or by email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Former President Trump is complaining that he can't be on the campaign trail because of what he calls a ridiculous trial in New York City. Speaking right after the 12 jurors were selected on Thursday, Trump said the "whole world is watching this scam" and went on to read news articles criticizing the case. Trump is accused of falsifying business records in order to cover up payments allegedly made to an adult film star just prior to the 2016 election.        Conservatives are warning Republican Mike Johnson against raising the threshold required to trigger the procedure to oust the House speaker. Johnson was involved in a tense exchange on the House floor today with a group of conservatives calling on him to assure them he would not raise the threshold on the motion to vacate. Johnson refused to commit, frustrating lawmakers like Florida Republican Matt Gaetz, who later told reporters doing so would likely kick off an effort to remove Johnson.        Republican Mike Johnson is setting up some high-stakes votes that might end his short term as House Speaker. Defying the conservative wing of his party, Johnson plans for House votes on aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, and a separate bill for the border. The conservative flank argues the border should be tied to Ukraine to force Democrats to vote for its passage.        The White House is clarifying that President Biden's uncle wasn't eaten by cannibals. During two campaign stops in Pennsylvania yesterday, Biden said his uncle Ambrose Finnegan got shot down during World War Two in New Guinea, and they never found the body because there were a lot of cannibals in the area. On Thursday, the White House press secretary told reporters aboard Air Force One Biden was only expressing how "incredibly proud" he was of Finnegan and he was not eaten by New Guinea natives in 1944.       President Biden is receiving a major endorsement from more than a dozen members of the iconic Kennedy family. The Kennedy family appeared alongside the president during a campaign event in Philadelphia today. Kerry Kennedy, the daughter of assassinated Senator and presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, praised Biden's accomplishments during his first term and sharply criticized Republican frontrunner Donald Trump.        Virginia is making it illegal for the NCAA to punish schools for paying athletes directly for their name, image and likeness rights. The law will go into effect July 1st after being signed by Governor Glenn Youngkin on Thursday. NCAA rules currently prohibit schools from signing NIL deals with their own players.
