2018 Windmill Day in Jamestown


On July 21st we had a great turnout at the Old Windmill.  This windmill was built in 1787 and in operation until 1896.  It was a great place to park and show off the A’s.  The Jamestown Historical Society invited us to join them as they unfurled the sails on the Historic Windmill and let it run.  The grounds were very nice and afforded a beautiful view of the bay and the Newport Bridge in the distance.  Sea breezes, Jonnycakes, and an old fashioned string band made us feel welcome! 

Nice turn out and lots of interest

2018 LITTLE RHODY CLUB PICNIC


July 15th found a large group of Little Rhody club members in North Scituate.  Dottie Cece and Angel Capperelli hosted the event – and it truly was a bit like going back in time.  Their large property was prepared with a tent, lots of table and chairs and we were fortunate to dodge the expected rain showers.  People also found shady spots to sit and visit, too.  The food was scrumptious, and Jeff Larrson manned the grill.  We were delighted to see Deb and Jeff Barnes!  We had car games, run by John Mennucci, Dennis Allsop, and Ken Trudel. The prominent winners were Angel, John M, and Sean Fay.  Dennis Allsop provided the prizes for winners. As usual, two of us had car “issues”, but were able to get home with a bit of trickle charging.  A beautiful day!
