Our distinguished visitors have all returned home and all thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality they received as our guests. On of the positive spin-offs of their visit was an agreement to examine ways in which closer cooperation among our communities can benefit all of us. This collaboration will begin with initiatives in education which are already in the planning phase but will likely include cultural and economic ties as well.
In the meantime, we should all be proud of the way that our community came together and supported our Gala 375th weekend. If you have photographs of the reception, parade, picnic or other events that you would like to share, you can send picture files to the 375th committee at info@PortsmouthRI375.com . Ifyou have very large files you like to contribute and the 375th SC will work with you to transfer these files.
Keep an eye out for the latest 375th flyer which lists upcoming events or go to our website at www.portsmouthri375.com for the latest details. Lets keep the celebration going!
