Netwalking, About Bullying, & More

EGHS Sports: The Unified Basketball team takes to the court tonight at 6:30 against Cranston East at the high school, with a special half-time exhibition of the brand-new Cole Unified Basketball team. Unified teams are made up of students with disabilities and non-disabled students. The idea is to foster relationships and build teamwork while working on sports skills. Go Avengers!

Netwalking: What is Netwalking, you ask? A super-cool initiative that seems to have begun right here in East Greenwich. Netwalking brings young people and career professionals together to network and share ideas, skills, and experiences. Creative and productive information exchange is facilitated while walking along a beach, hiking through the woods, or strolling around downtown. Tonight the group is meeting at Kon Asian Bistro at 6 p.m. and will walk to Scalloptown Park and back (by 7:30 p.m.). If the weather’s bad, they will just stay at Kon. Wear comfortable shoes and bring your business cards — if you have ‘em! Hosted by SBR Networking. If you are interested in learning more, click here.
