Imagine enjoying a sunset wine and hors d’oeuvres cruise aboard the 74-foot Aphrodite commuter yacht. A summer evening at the Matunuck Oyster Bar or Shelter Harbor Inn. A flight to Block Island. Or the brilliant blues of a New England seascape. Now imagine bidding for them in the final moments of a heated auction, as you enjoy lavish hors d’oeurves and live music. Welcome to our 9th Annual Silent Auction. Bidding starts July 2nd and ends with a Gala Reception and Final Bidding on July 11th from 5 to 7 PM. At 7, a Live Auction featuring radio host Mike Maino begins. From art to tickets to Yanni, everyone will find something tempting to bid on. Ongoing: the Pawcatucket Neighborhood Center Senior Art Show/Food Appeal in the BRAG Gallery.

Artists Favorites Show starts Aug. 12.
