Saturday Evening Entertainment

Ladies of the Rolling Pin!  They came to our May 2019 weekend and we’ve been being asked to bring them back.  It will be a night of music and Morris Dancing – a ceremonial style of folk dance which dates back to medieval times – to celebrate spring! Bring some dancing shoes and celebrate with us!  The Ladies of the Rolling Pin is one of only a few all-women’s Border Morris dance teams. They have been stirring things up in Rhode Island since 1998 with just the right mix of leavening and levity and never fail to get a rise out of audiences with their well-seasoned style, energy, and music.

Service Projects
At each weekend event, we select a service project in order to help others in need. This weekend we will be collecting items for the Providence Animal Rescue League (PARL) (34 Elbow St, Providence, RI – https://www.parl.org/). They offer a pet food pantry so families in need can care for their family pets.  Their wishlist items are:  Wet & dry dog food; Cat litter; Wet & dry cat food; Small animal food pellets; 2 gallon plastic bags (sealable) (Please note that food items can only be accepted if they are unopened.)  You can also order from their Pantry Amazon wish list or General Amazon wish list and bring the items to the weekend.

In addition to PARL, we’re helping women in need by collecting NEW and CLEAN, GENTLY USED BRAS for the organization “I Support the Girls”.

 

Women’s Wilderness Weekend Store
At every weekend, we have WWW items (sweatshirts, t-shirts, fleece jackets and vests, mugs, earplugs, etc.) available for sale.


Women’s Marketplace
There will be an area of items for sale (on the honor system) made by the women attending the weekend. Anyone is welcome. Items must be handmade and a portion of the profits donated to the Women’s Wilderness – Leslie Scott Memorial Scholarship Fund.
