Making a Special Place at the Head of the Bay

Placemaking Workshop

Monday, April 7, 2008

3 -7 pm

Radisson Hotel (foot of Gano St.)

Please join an interactive workshop led by the Project for Public Spaces (PPS) to imagine a future for the last expanse of shoreline open to the public in Providence, at the head of Narragansett Bay. Join planners, stakeholders, and citizens concerned about the fate of the former Shooters nightclub for a presentation of what makes waterfront public spaces work in other cities, a placemaking exercise, and a brainstorming session to create a vision that makes the most of India Point’s unique geography and panoramic views and ensures public access to our most distinctive natural and historic asset.

Free and open to the public. Pre-registration required. Space limited to 100.

Please call 831-5995 x712 with your name & phone number.

Sponsored by Head of the Bay Gateway and Friends of India Point Park. Led by Ethan Kent from PPS.

The SNA events committee invites you to join us at Pizzico on Hope Street for a wine tasting event on Tuesday, March 25th at 6pm.  We will be tasting unique wines from Italy paired with fabulous food.  Sample new and exciting varietals while meeting your Summit Neighbors.
The event cost is $20 per person.  Please RSVP by March 20 to events@sna.providence.ri.us.

We look forward to seeing you there!

This is the Summit Neighborhood Association’s Events Committee’s first event to further SNA’s initiative to build social capital. This idea to build connections among neighbors was introduced at the February 25 Annual Meeting.

Here’s an extra challenge from the SNA: print this announcement out and put it through the mailslot of a Summit Neighbor you don’t know. Let them know you are inviting them and hope to see them there!
