(Middletown, R.I.) --- Child & Family announced the launch of a brand new program, Living Well in Newport.  A member-based program, Living Well in Newport will connect Newport County residents age 50+ to a network of resources.    “We are delighted to offer this service,” stated Peter M. DiBari, President  & CEO of Child and Family.

The largest Home Show in southern New England returns to the Rhode Island Convention Center, March 31st through April 3rd, with some exciting new features!  It’s Rhode Island’s longest running show with over 400 exhibitors, a Fine Arts Showcase, how- to- seminars, children’s entertainment, cooking demonstrations, sampling and endless opportunities to win valuable prizes!

The Fine Arts Showcase will feature over 80 artisans, representing galleries from New York and New England. Daily demonstrations will allow attendees the opportunity to see how these works of art are created!

The Rhode Island Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society is anticipating a great response to Walk MS on Sunday, April 10th, and we need volunteers to help at all three walk locations across the state.

 Volunteers are essential to making the event a success and people are needed for activities such as registration and prize distribution in Bristol, Narragansett, and Providence. We also need volunteers to staff the rest stops along the walk routes from approximately 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

If you would like to be part of the MS community and help inspire those around you, please volunteer your time! Go to www.MSwalkri.com and click on volunteer in the left column. By joining us April 10, 2011, you will be helping to make a difference in the lives of those with MS.
