 Woonsocket Parks & Recreation April Vacation Activities

 

Good Morning! 

Nicer weather is upon us and we are starting things off a little slow and easy.  We promise it will still be super fun and engaging! 

April Vacation spaces are limited so please register by calling Liz @ 401-767-9287 to hold your spot!

I have included the registration form for the Adult Paint Night, as well as, the picture we plan to recreate!  Please return registration with payment to 1117 River St. as soon as possible.

This is a very popular event and will be sure to sell out.  It will be held outdoors with heaters, but we will still be limiting participates in order to not only properly distance but to be able to assist in making you succeed!

Even the most un-artistic person will leave with a beautiful painting! 😊

 

Please call the office with any questions.

The U.S. Supreme Court is hearing arguments on abortion for the first time since its ruling overturning Roe v. Wade. Justices are considering a case over whether Idaho's strict abortion restrictions conflict with a federal law requiring hospitals to provide patients emergency care. Idaho's law makes it a felony for physicians to perform most abortions except to save the life of the mother.       TikTok says it will challenge new U.S. legislation that could allow it to be banned. President Biden signed a bill into law Wednesday that laid the ground work for the social media platform being banned if its Chinese parent company doesn't sell it. TikTok has won legal challenges in the past, including blocking a Montana law that called for a statewide ban.       House Speaker Mike Johnson is meeting with Jewish students today at Columbia University in New York as protests continue against Israel's war with Hamas. Hundreds of students have been protesting, sometimes violently, against the Biden administration's response to the Israel-Hamas war, calling for an end to support for Israel. Johnson's office says he plans to discuss what he sees as a "troubling rise of antisemitism on America's college campuses."       Millions of salaried workers in the U.S. will soon qualify for overtime pay thanks to a new rule from the Biden administration. The rule announced Tuesday by the Department of Labor changes the threshold under which salaried employees become eligible for overtime. The department estimates that an extra four-million workers will qualify for overtime once the rule is implemented in January.       Airlines will soon have to give refunds for canceled and excessively delayed flights. The Department of Transportation announced the rollout of the new rules Wednesday that call for automatic cash refunds if a flight is canceled or delayed for more than three hours or six hours for international flights. Refunds of checked bag fees will also be required if a passenger's luggage is lost and not returned within 12 hours.       Former University of Southern California running back Reggie Bush is getting his 2005 Heisman Trophy back. That's according to a report from ESPN. Bush had his trophy taken away in 2010 after the NCAA [[ N-C-Double-A ]] imposed sanctions on USC for infractions including Bush receiving improper benefits. The Heisman Trust told ESPN this comes as there has been "enormous changes in the college football landscape," including players now being paid.
