9/11 Remembrance Ceremony at Country Club + Armed Carjacking

Good morning Pawtucket! My name is Samantha Friedlander, your new source of the Pawtucket Daily. Currently, Patch does not have a local curator for Pawtucket (or Woonsocket), but in the interim, we still want to make sure you are up-to-date on all of your local happenings, so I am here to fill in!

Although not a local, I will work diligently to keep everyone in the community informed. And if you are interested in becoming the new local Woonsocket or Pawtucket curator, apply here!
