PVA News: Please help us fund publishing The Bridge!
For more than 40 years, the Pawtuxet Village Association has brought stories of the past and news of the present to the many readers of The Bridge. We will continue this tradition in the years to come.
Because of the serous financial toll that COVID-19 has taken on businesses in the village, we have decided not to ask them for their support with ads for our Fall/Holiday issue. Instead, we are turning to you, our members and other readers, and asking for donations to pay the costs of publishing the paper.
This issue will feature articles on how Pawtuxet Village is dealing with the virus, ice harvesting and storage at Spring Green Farm, a village bicycle maker, our Federal-era houses and bees and beekeepers in winter, plus lots of photos of the park and other favorite Pawtuxet places. Please help us continue this well-loved tradition!
We suggest donations of $10, $25, or more. Any amount is welcome! Please mail your check to PVA, P.O. Box 8626, Warwick, RI 02888, or click the "donate" button below to access our simple PayPal donation process.
Donations will be acknowledged in the spring issue of The Bridge and on the PVA website. Thank you for your support!
