Our Next Chapter

by Dale J. Venturini,

President/CEO, Rhode Island Hospitality Association

As many of you have undoubtedly heard, I concluded my 35-year tenure as president/chief executive officer of the RI Hospitality Association (RIHA) at the end of February. As I pen this farewell column, I’m filled with a profound sense of gratitude and nostalgia. After more than three decades at the helm of the Association, which together we built into an incredibly important voice for our industry in the state house and in the community, the time has come for me to pass the baton.

My journey began in 1988 when I was recruited by visionary leaders and local restaurateurs Ned Grace of the Capital Grille, Bill DeAngelus Jr. of Twin Oaks, and Ted Fuller of Gregg’s Restaurants & Taverns. During my tenure and with the support of our staff, members, and the community atlarge, RIHA has flourished as the state’s premier advocacy group for the hospitality sector. We have achieved a significant expansion in our reach, a substantial increase in our membership, and have successfully advocated for the industry in the state house. The founding of the RI Hospitality Education Foundation (RIHEF) and the Hospitality Training Academy stand as pivotal achievements, underscoring our dedication to nurturing the next generation of industry leaders and providing welltrained, well-equipped staff.

At times the challenges were many, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. We navigated and provided guidance through restrictions, provided financial relief to displaced employees, adapted training methods, and launched the “Be Kind” campaign, among other initiatives. These efforts were not just about survival, but also about fostering a resilient and adaptable industry to meet this challenge.

There is no one better to continue this work at this moment than Heather R. Singleton, whom I am thrilled to announce as the Interim President/CEO of RIHA. Heather, with her extensive 25-plusyear experience in the industry and remarkable leadership skills, is the Heather R. Singleton ideal person to steer RIHA during this transitional phase. Her contributions as RIHA’s chief operating officer have been invaluable, and her work across various educational and advisory roles demonstrates her commitment to both RIHA and the broader hospitality sector.

Heather’s distinguished career includes positions on the International Society of Hotel Associations board, the State of Rhode Island’s Special Legislative Commission addressing economic and social issues related to shortterm rentals, the Governor’s Workforce Board Local Area Advisory Committee, and as chairperson of the National Restaurant Association Certification Governing Committee. Her academic credentials from Johnson & Wales University, along with her recognition on the 2007 Women of Influence list and Providence Business News’ “40 Under Forty,” highlight her exceptional abilities and commitment. Heather is well-equipped to lead RIHA during this interim period.

As I transition out of my role, I am confident in Heather’s ability to maintain and enhance RIHA’s commitments to advocacy, education, and innovation, ensuring the organization’s continued success during this interim phase.

To the members, staff, and countless friends I’ve made along the way, thank you for an incredible journey. Your support, dedication, and passion for the industry have been the driving force behind our success. As I embark on this new chapter in my life, I will carry the many memories and lessons of these wonderful years.

No matter where my journey takes me, RIHA’s Culture of Community and its ‘Eight Cs’ remain constant. These guiding values, both for RIHA and for me personally, encompass cooperation, collaboration, communication, connection, curiosity, compassion, civility, and camaraderie. They are the foundational principles that have steered my actions and decisions, and I am confident they will continue to inspire and guide the future endeavors of RIHA. Thank you for 35 incredible years. I will always consider the hospitality community my home.

As they say in Italian: Gli amici sono la famiglia che scegliamo noi stessi. Friends are the family we choose ourselves.

FRESH CORN AND TOMATO SALAD ASIAN NOODLES WITH PEANUT SAUCE Reuben Soup Why have soup and a sandwich when your soup can be your sandwich?

This is a salad you want to make now, while corn and tomatoes are still in season, but I’ve found that frozen organic corn and greenhouse tomatoes work pretty darn I had all of the ingredients to make a Reuben sandwich. But I wanted soup. So I made Reuben Soup! well.

The same idea as a French Onion Soup with Reuben ingredients.

There’s something about Asian noodle dishes that make them incredibly addictive. They’re great hot or cold, and easy to make at home, which is important to me because I live in the boonies, about 30 miles from my favorite Asian restaurant. I store an arsenal of basic Asian ingredients in my pantry, so slapping this together is no effort at all. And if you don’t have Asian noodles around, chances are you’ve got a box of pasta, which works just as well.

To make this recipe gluten-free, I use Gluten Free pasta, and you can find gluten-free hoisin sauce in the Asian food section of most supermarkets.

Ingredients: • • • •

4 tablespoons creamy peanut butter 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce 2 teaspoons sesame oil 1 teaspoon Chinese chili garlic sauce (more, if you like it spicy!)

Age Gracefully With Functional Training

By Stacie Venagro | 2017 World Miss Fitness America Pro

As we gracefully navigate through the passage of time, maintaining our physical well-being becomes increasingly vital.

Embracing functional training emerges as a key component in ensuring a healthier and more active lifestyle, as we age. Unlike traditional workout routines that often isolate specific muscle groups, functional training emphasizes movements that mimic daily activities, enhancing overall functionality and reducing the risk of injuries.

often overlooked in conventional workout routines. The coordination and concentration required for multi-joint movements stimulates the brain, fostering improved cognitive function and mental acuity. Engaging both the body and mind in functional training can contribute to enhanced overall well-being, as we age.

Furthermore, functional exercises promote the development of functional strength—strength that directly translates into improved performance in everyday activities. Whether it’s lifting groceries, getting up from a chair, or reaching for items on a high shelf, functional training ensures that our muscles work harmoniously to meet the demands of daily life.

Adaptability is a key feature of functional training, FOR One TICKETS: text 489-8839 or call Beaver 270-7686 making it accessible for individuals with varying fitness of the primary benefits of functional training for Thirsty seniors is its focus on improving balance and stability. As we age, the risk of falls and related injuries becomes more pronounced. Functional exercises, such as lunges, squats, and balancing drills, help fortify core muscles and enhance proprioception, ultimately contributing to better stability and a reduced risk of falls.

Maintaining joint flexibility is another crucial aspect of functional training. Incorporating exercises that involve a full range of motion helps lubricate joints, preventing stiffness, and promoting better overall joint health. This becomes particularly pertinent as we age and encounter the natural decline in flexibility that can impact daily activities.

Functional training also targets cognitive health, an aspect

Functional training is a valuable ally in the quest for a healthier and more active lifestyle, as we age. By focusing on movements that align with daily tasks, enhancing balance, flexibility, and cognitive function, functional training not only helps seniors maintain their independence, but also ensures a more resilient and vibrant quality of life. So, let’s embrace the aging process with open arms and functional movements, redefining what it means to age gracefully.

Dynamic Thoughts By: Dr. Pete Dionisopoulos, PT, DPT Zone 2 training has been the most popular thing in the fitness world this past year or so, and it isn’t just some fad. The only thing that is misleading is that people think it is a revolutionary way to exercise.

Truth be told, this method has been around for decades and only became mainstream thanks to popular podcasters and fitness influencers on social media copying one another.

Home of the

MedPack

So what is this Zone 2 training all about?

It is a specific exertion level of cardiovascular exercise that utilizes primarily fat cells and provides health benefits, such as improving blood pressure, lowering resting heart rate, improving stress tolerance/mood, improving sleep quality, and increasing recovery.

Generally, this is done with continuous work at a steady pace, such as walking. hiking, biking, swimming, or jogging. The nice thing about this is that it doesn’t matter what you do. The only thing that you need to do to unlock these incredible benefits is be consistent over a period of time.

It will take about 6-8 weeks to see some significant changes at about 2-3 sessions per week. The work should be for a minimum of 30min, and the intensity is talking with slight resistance.

Basically, you can’t tell a massive story, but you are able to speak sentences and not work so hard that you can only get 1-3 words out at a time.

This has been used as the primary training method for most athletes to speed up recovery and improve their overall work capacity. Depending on the sport, this can take up about 80% of an athlete’s training volume vs all-out efforts and make them feel like they are going to die.

If you feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to start, give us a call!

OVEREATING VS. BINGE EATING And How to Stop By: Susan Gazerro

Everyone overeats from time to time, however, overeating and binge eating are very different. Binge eating is when you eat a lot of food in just a few hours, even if you are not hungry. Binge eating is also more dangerous than just overeating. When you binge eat, you compulsively overeat, without having the need to eat. People usually do this to drown out emotions, and almost always feel regret or shame after binge eating. All eating disorders are awful, and to overcome them, you must first understand what is causing them.

There is always an underlying issue, as to why people turn to food for comfort. The questions that may require thought are…What’s missing in one’s life? What is causing the depression?

What changes have recently taken place, causing binge eating? What is the added stress in their life that may be contributing to this problem? The frequency of binge eating is said to occur at least twice a week, for six months, and it’s typically done in privacy.

People who binge eat don’t like to go out to eat or be around people, so as to keep their illness a secret from those around them.

26 Shop In RI

If you are wondering if you binge eat, ask yourself the following questions. Are there some days, even though you want to stop eating, you’re not able to stop yourself? Are there some days you surprise yourself with how much food you can eat in a short period of time? Do you ever feel guilty after realizing how much food you have consumed at any one or combined sitting? At the end of each day, do you find yourself saying, “Tomorrow, I am going to stop binging.”

Here are some differences between overeating and binge eating. Both of these involve mindless behavior, meaning that one eats too much, without even thinking about it. If food is in front of you, without a second thought, you consume it. But, there are real differences between these two disorders. One example of overeating is having more than one dessert after a meal. Another example is finishing an entire bag of popcorn, while watching TV or a movie. An example of binge eating is when you sneak a large bag of chocolate or candy into your room, and finish all of it, while doing it discreetly. Binge eating

is also eating an entire cake in one sitting, and immediately feeling guilty, or finishing three burgers, even when you know you are uncomfortably full.

There is also something referred to as “emotional eating.” This type of eating is due to a stressful event, such as a breakup or a death, but could also be related to a happy event. For example, emotional eating can occur after a friend or loved one announces an engagement, when you learn about someone you know, winning the lottery, or when you hear that a friend or family member is expecting a baby, etc. Some people eat simply because they are sad or depressed, and some people are what I refer to as “happy eaters.” I, personally, cannot eat when I am sad or stressed. I am, though, a happy eater. There are plenty of people who turn to food when they are feeling down.

Food becomes comfort for them, but the reality is that the comfort is short lived.

Once someone with this issue realizes how they feel after eating for emotional reasons, they are creating a habit of turning to food for comfort.

If you think you may be a binge eater, or have an eating disorder, consider talking with a doctor or therapist. Only a trained mental health professional can diagnose your condition. Now, contrary to what you just read, there are times when overeating is not considered an eating disorder. As Americans, we tend to overeat, in general.

However, to bring this all together, frequent or compulsive overeating, especially if you feel out of control during these times, is a main symptom of binge eating. Overeating can also be a symptom of other eating disorders like bulimia nervosa. Again, let a professional help you sort it out. The first step in getting help is talking with a primary care doctor (PCP). Your medical doctors can help you get to the root of the problem, which is really the only way to heal oneself. A PCP can refer you to a mental health professional, who specializes in eating disorders and is able to diagnose the condition. They can also suggest therapy, or they may even provide medication.

One thing to keep in mind is that weight loss programs are considered to be the wrong approach when treating eating disorders. If your doctor or therapist suggests you should try to lose weight, consider switching to a different healthcare professional. The world, today, seems to be all about appearance, and young girls are most vulnerable. It is more important to them to look good or be skinny, than it is to be healthy. Consequently, it is vital that they are taught how to avoid thinking negatively about themselves and how to develop a healthy self-esteem from when they are at a very young age. To prevent eating disorders, females, especially (although males can also be afflicted by these disorders), need to believe that they are perfect just the way they are, and learn to love themselves, unconditionally.

Eating disorders are no joke. They are serious illnesses, which need to be treated as such, and building confidence at a young age can be a significant preventative measure to help prevent them from developing.

Unveiling the Blueprint: Prioritizing Locomotion for Individuals Over 50

By Kevin Kearns Within the functional training paradigm encompassing 8 key elements of fitness, one stands out as paramount, particularly in my humble assessment: locomotion.

Reflecting on my tenure as a consultant for Tufts Medical Bariatric Surgery, I recall a pivotal lesson imparted by the lead exercise physiologist: “Move to Improve.” Regardless of surgical interventions aimed at weight loss, the imperative of movement persisted as a cornerstone for weight maintenance, and the enhancement of both healthspan and lifespan.

From a functional training perspective, I hold a particular affinity for the agility ladder. Its allure lies in its portability, adaptability to all skill levels, and its efficacy in enhancing foot coordination and kinesthetic awareness—our sense of body positioning in space. As we mature, this kinesthetic awareness tends to diminish, necessitating proactive efforts to maintain it. Irrespective of one’s chosen fitness regimen, locomotion emerges as an indispensable component for sustaining vitality.

It’s not uncommon to witness individuals opting for early retirement, only to succumb to sedentary lifestyles and subsequent health deterioration. The adage, “move to improve,” echoes resoundingly here. While traditional warm-up methods like treadmill or elliptical routines effectively prime muscles for exercise, they often fall short in preparing individuals for the dynamic demands of daily life.

In my practice, I prioritize functional warm-up routines, utilizing the agility ladder, supplemented with boxing, Muay Thai footwork, and Filipino stick (kali) fighting techniques. Beyond merely elevating heart rates, these activities cultivate essential agility—a skill with far-reaching implications for everyday functionality.

30 Shop In RI

By integrating such practices into our warm-up protocols, we not only promote cardiovascular health, but also equip individuals with the agility necessary to navigate life’s myriad of challenges, with grace and resilience.

This element, or better known as the “pillar” of human movement, exists every day and needs to be put into every regimen, in my professional opinion. It is very simple to add 5 -10 minutes of agility work, or “locomotion,” to your fitness programming. Even without an agility ladder, one can mimic these movements, even in a hotel room, while being a “road warrior“ for work. As well, we should take a page from our children, and “play” more often.

Whenever I run a workshop or class for children, they all tend to love the agility ladder, without me even telling them the benefits of this element of fitness. So, my suggestion is to take some of these drills from this article and incorporate them, today, into your fitness regimen.

The Irish Influence In Rhode Island

By Paul Lonardo There is a lot to love about St. Patrick’s Day, whether it’s getting decked out in green, indulging in a cold beer (green or otherwise), partaking in the holiday staple that is corned beef and cabbage, or enjoying a St. Patty’s parade. It’s all about Irish pride, but for those who may not be Irish themselves it’s about honoring the contributions made to our communities by Irish Americans and celebrating alongside them.

According to Irishcentral.com, people who are of Irish ancestry make up 24% of the population in Rhode Island, which is behind only Massachusetts (28%) and surprisingly Delaware (24.5%).

The impact Irish Americans have had on our state is more than just sheer numbers. Their contributions over the past two centuries have been significant and continue to this day.

Rhode Island experienced its first real wave of the emigrants from Ireland in the early 1820s. They came seeking work, which usually involved manual labor such as the digging of the Blackstone Valley channel.

It was a hard existence that was not without a degree of discrimination that had to be tolerated. “Diggers” like Michael Reddy not only persevered but thrived.

Reddy was believed to be the first Catholic to take up permanent residence in Woonsocket. He settled on Front Street as a farmer, becoming a leader in the growing Irish community and organizing the first Catholic service there in 1828. As a result, Woonsocket became a stronghold for Irish immigrants, but in the 1840’s Rhode Island saw a massive influx of Irish fleeing their homeland as a result of the Great Hunger, or the Great Famine (aka The Irish Potato Famine), a period of starvation and disease in Ireland the lasted from 1845 to 1852. During this time, roughly 1 million people died and more than 2 million more fled the country, causing a loss of nearly a quarter of its population and creating 32 32 Shop Shop In In RI RI

one of the greatest exoduses from a single island in history. It was this tragedy in part that brought many of the Irish to our shores, and by the end of the 19th century the Irish becamethe largest ethnic group in Rhode Island.

Joseph Banigan was the first Irish Catholic millionaire in Providence. A young Banigan, along with his parents, was part of the wave of Irish‑Catholic refugees who fled the Potato Famine in Ireland. Arriving in Rhode Island in 1847 at eight years old, he dropped out of school a year later and began working, apprenticing in the jewelry industry and learning about the production of rubber products. He was only twenty when he discovered a way to bypass the vulcanization patent of Charles Goodyear, and in 1867 he opened the Woonsocket Rubber Company. According to the Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame, Banigan employed a progressive agenda ranging from labor relations to the latest production methods to build his venture into the premier establishment of its kind in the United States. He sold his company in 1893 for an whopping $9,000,000, and in 1896 he built Providence’s first skyscraper, the tenstory Banigan Building on Weybosset Street. Banigan’s philanthropic endeavors included establishing the Home for the Aged Poor, St. Vincent De Paul Infant Asylum, St Joseph’s Hospital, and St. Maria’s Home for Working Girls.

Bishop Thomas Francis Hendricken, born in

Kilkenny, was ordained the first bishop of Providence in 1872.

Hendricken oversaw construction of the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul in Providence, and Warwick’s Bishop Hendricken High School was named in his honor.

John Treacy, a native of Villierstown, County Waterford, was a long-distance runner who graduated from Providence College in 1978 and won a silver medal at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. His brother Ray Treacy, a 1982 PC graduate, has been a highly successful Head Coach/Director of Cross Country and Track at Providence for the past thirtynine years.

Patrick J. McCarthy

became Providence’s first foreign-born mayor in 1906, which was by no means an easy accomplishment.

McCarthy was born in County Sligo, Ireland and emigrated in 1850 at age two. After losing both his parents to typhus, he spent his childhood being shuffled between various relatives and orphanages. He took whatever work he could, taking classes at night and eventually earning a Harvard law degree, after which he relocated to Providence and entered the political arena.

J. Joseph Garrahy, a

Irish women contributed greatly to the state’s economy as well, working in textiles mills and becoming teachers, ultimately changing labor relations forever. Others shattered early glass ceilings, including Florence Kerins Murray, who was a high-ranking officer in the Women’s Army Corps during WWII.

Put Your Year-End Bonus to Work By: Edward Pontarelli Jr. For many Americans, the start of a new year is the time they find out if they received a year-end bonus. If you are anticipating one, take some time to think about how you want to use this hard-earned money. Consider the ideas below before the money hits your bank account.

Supplement your investment contributions. Consider applying your bonus to an employer-sponsored 401(k), up to the maximum allowable amount. Take advantage of your employer match, if applicable. Alternatively, since it’s also wise to diversify your investment dollars, you could apply your bonus, up to the amount allowed in your situation with an IRA. Depending on your adjusted gross income (AGI), both 401(k) and traditional IRA contributions may help reduce your annual tax bill, as you grow your savings over time.

Set aside funds in a health savings account (HSA). If you have a high-deductible medical plan, you may be able to make tax-deductible contributions to an HSA. The funds grow tax free and roll over, year to year. The money can be withdrawn, tax-free, to pay for qualified medical expenses today and in the future.

Save for education costs. Invest your bonus in an education savings plan to get a head start on future costs related to elementary and secondary school, college, or trade school. You can open a 529 account on behalf of a beneficiary to fund their future education expenses, or contribute to an existing plan. Your contributions may be tax deductible; check with your tax or financial advisor to determine what giving strategy is best for you.

Invest in the stock market. Diversify your investment portfolio by putting bonus money into the stock market.

The stock market provides the opportunity to create a balance of active and passive management that fits your financial goals. Talk to your financial advisor to determine how investing in the stock market can be done to accommodate the timeline of your goals (i.e., a vacation, kitchen remodel).

Build emergency reserves. If you don’t already have an emergency fund, consider using this year’s bonus to get one started. Open a separate savings account for this purpose, if you want to reduce the temptation of using it for non-emergency purposes.

36 Shop In RI

Give to the causes you care about. It’s rewarding to give to others. Put your bonus to good use by investing in the community agencies that are important to you. Most nonprofit organizations rely on the generous support of donors to provide the services they offer. As added incentive, you may earn a tax deduction if the organization you fund has tax-exempt status.

Fund your personal growth. Consider investing your bonus dollars in a learning experience, physical activity, or hobby that’s been on your wish list. Perhaps you’ve been meaning to learn a new language, join a pickleball league, or buy art supplies for a new hobby.

Applying bonus dollars toward meaningful experiences can energize you personally, and pay dividends at home and at work.

Receiving an annual bonus is a testament to how hard you worked last year, and you should feel confident in how you decide to use it. A financial advisor can work with you to review your goals, investments, risk tolerance, and other factors, and help you make the right plan.

Protecting Your Financial Stability After a Divorce By: Carrie McPherson Like many aspects of divorce, managing your finances after splitting up with your spouse can feel complicated and overwhelming. This is true whether the separation is amicable or acri1 monious. Because every divorce is different, it’s wise to consult with your attorney and financial advisor for guidance, but here is a basic primer to help you navigate your finances independently from your ex-spouse.

Adjust your budget to match your current lifestyle. Start by calculating your new monthly income, including spousal or child support, if applicable, and estimate what you expect to earn over the next year. If you are a stay-at-home parent or spouse, you may decide to re-enter the workforce to bolster your income. Or, the time may be right to switch careers or seek a side hustle.

Next, look at your spending to see if you need to adjust your patterns. Whether you’ve decided to remain in your home or seek new living arrangements, crunch the numbers to see how much house you can realistically afford. Also, evaluate your lifestyle spending, including entertainment, dining out, and vacations, to see if it’s necessary to trim your expenses. If possible, avoid making any major purchases until you feel comfortable with your updated budget.

Consider your children’s future. If you have children, they will understandably take center stage in your planning. It’s important to start thinking about how you’ll handle future financial milestones. Milestones may include paying for private grade school, college tuition, the down payment on a home, or a wedding. If you’d like to help your children with such expenses, consider these questions: Will you receive financial support from your former spouse? Do you expect your kids to contribute? As each event approaches, be upfront with your kids about what you can afford, so they can set realistic expectations.

Consider the tax implications of your new marital status.

Review your situation with a tax professional to see if you need to revise your tax strategy. Divorce can affect your tax situation in several ways. Impacts may include entering a different income tax bracket, providing or receiving child or spousal support, and changes to your investment strategy and your process for handling future tax returns.

Dream and plan for the future. Once you have a handle on your new day-to-day finances and retirement goals, allow yourself to dream and plan for other milestones that are important to you. Do you wish to visit every continent? Pay off your mortgage before retirement? Open a small business?

Whatever your dreams, determine the cost of each one so you know how much you’ll need to save. Save what you can each month, and keep in mind that even small amounts will add up over time. If you’re tempted to spend the money elsewhere, consider establishing a separate savings account.

Don’t go it alone. Professional guidance from an attorney, tax professional, estate planner, and financial advisor, can help you make empowered choices that match your new priorities. Financial advisors, like myself, routinely advise clients on how to navigate with the complex decisions that arise during a divorce, and strategies designed to help you meet new financial goals are offered.

Prioritize saving for retirement. No matter how close – or far – you are to retirement, make it a priority to update your retirement goals and continue building your nest egg. You are responsible for your own savings. In fact, the biggest challenge most Americans face financially is having enough money to cover what could be several decades of expenses in retirement.

While retirement saving can feel overwhelming as you balance competing financial priorities, having a plan can help you feel more in control.

She specializes in fee based financial planning and asset management strategies and has been in practice for 15 years.

Ensure you’re protected. An important step following divorce is to maintain, replace, or establish insurance that will help secure your financial future. All forms of insurance should be reviewed and considered, and your beneficiaries should be updated, if needed. Make sure you understand the specific benefits that you and your former spouse are entitled to through your employers, as well as applicable life, health, and disability insurance policies. If you have children, whose health insurance plan will be used to cover them? Work quickly to establish an insurance plan to avoid the financial risk of being uninsured.

Annual 401Gives Campaign Set for April 1

By Mark Berger Hundreds of charities statewide will look for additional revenue to help their respective causes and missions during the “401Gives” Campaign that kicks off on April 1.

The 24-hour event encourages the nonprofit community to ask for donations, matching contributions and provides incentives in the form of cash and other prizes, for reaching certain financial plateaus.

This event is spearheaded by The United Way of Rhode Island.

“On April 1, 2023, 401Gives once again made Rhode Island history by raising over $3.4 million for 546 local nonprofits from over 15,000 donors,” their website posted. It added, “Thank you to all the donors, participating nonprofits, fundraising champions, business fundraisers, sponsors, and media partners for helping to make the 4th annual 401Gives a huge success!”

One of the many ways charities can earn more money is through the event’s incentives. For each hour a group reaches a certain goal set by 401Gives, they are entered into a drawing to win either a cash prize ($1,500 in some cases) or some other gift. These contests are fiercely run and can become really intense.

Regardless of which charity one chooses, just getting a donation from either a new or an existing source can have lasting, positive impacts for the communities and organizations they serve.

More than 500 charitable organizations throughout Rhode Island can get involved in this virtual, on-line event. Any registered organization can sign up on their website, and then encourage their friends, colleagues, coworkers, and other groups to help raise as much funds during that period.

In the 2023 campaign, 401Gives generated several million dollars for various organizations, according to their website.

46 Shop In RI

Phil Auger, Owner of Grants New England in North Kingstown, can attest to this phenomenon. He works closely with various nonprofit organizations on finding and obtaining grant money to help these causes. He works with clients throughout Rhode Island and Massachusetts, and even outside of New England.

Auger believes both individuals and business owners want to help out their communities in some way. However, they usually do not have available resources to contribute. “This event is one vehicle to enable anyone to make a difference,” he said. ”I am always amazed at the variety of worthy

causes supported by non-profits in Rhode Island,” Auger said. “In our work to assist nonprofits with their grant-writing needs, we have engaged with causes as wide ranging as after-school and summer learning for kids, various health access causes, programs to assist veterans, financial literacy, music therapy, teen mentoring, food pantries, basic needs and social services, recovery programs, historic restoration, and the list goes on and on.”

401Gives provides the platform for any registered nonprofit organization in the state, the ability to generate funds. It doesn’t matter if they raise a few dollars or several hundred thousand dollars. It also does not matter if it’s an established cause or one that just started.

Every organization has the chance to make an impact.

Auger believes getting involved is the first step. Getting name recognition would be next, while sharing their story could make something happen.

“Fundraising is difficult work, even for nonprofits that have strong reputations,” he said. “If we all do what we can for the cause or causes that are most meaningful to each of us, it will be a great day for nonprofit fundraising across the state!”

“Focus on the giving, while being assured that the causes included with 401Gives are all worthy of your support and doing important work to

improve our communities,” Auger said.

His advice would be to develop a team now to get started and be prepared for the day of giving.

“For newer start up 501c3 organizations, breaking through to establish relationships with charitable foundations and individual donors is especially challenging,” said Auger. “401Gives provides a platform to draw attention to so many of these truly important needs in Rhode Island that are desperate for financial support. The challenge for those who contribute is to choose among them.”

The public can participate by becoming one of their “Community Champions. They are seen as partners for the 401Gives’ efforts. Community Champions help spread the word about this statewide giving campaign, raising the visibility of the state’s nonprofit sector.

Their biggest function is letting people know about the event and how they can contribute— either monetarily or otherwise, through social media channels and local media outreach.

The 401Gives Campaign starts at 6:00 AM on Monday, April 1, and continues until 6:00am on Tuesday morning at 6:00am.

Anyone who would like to contribute to either one of these groups, or who would like to see where else to donate may visit: www.401Gives.org to learn more about the program and how to donate during that time frame.

American Blind Wholesale Outlet Commitment to Customer Service

By Jennifer Coates The last few years have afforded home and property owners a rare chance to rethink their interior and exterior designs. Out with the old, tired, and dated materials and in with new, fresh, and colorful ideas! Many considered the possibility of changing their window coverings to not only improve their rooms’ appeal, customers also find that the great insulation value of many window treatments save them money that they were just throwing out the window.

Many of these home and business owners turned to American Blind Wholesale Outlet in North Providence, a longstanding business which prides itself on offering the widest selection of custom blinds, shades and shutters in the area in addition to unparalleled customer service.

Owner Francis Clark said the latter commitment is the foundation of their company. For several decades, the staff have made window coverings their “mission” and, in doing so, have built enduring relationships and loyalty with an ever-growing customer base.

Shop In In RI RI 49 49 Shop

“When you contact us, you will speak with an actual person instead of an automated operator.

Our staff have been with us for a long time twenty years on average. That starts with a six-month training course for new employees to understand the industry and our way of doing things. We don’t just say we offer great customer service, we prove it every day by going above and beyond what customers expect,” Clark said.

“We preach Customer Service, Customer Service, Customer Service…you cannot buy customer service at a big box store, you cannot buy customer service online… At American Blind customer service is FREE!” American Blind Wholesale Outlet, located at 360 Sunset Avenue, has been in North Providence for 23 years. Prior to this location, the company spent more than a decade in Smithfield.

Clark, who graduated from Bryant with a degree in business, went into the industry because “it was something different” from the financial and other similar disciplines that recruited him. From there, he worked at Manufacturing Blinds in the mid-1990s. He purchased that company from the prior owner and set out on his professional journey.

One aspect about American Blind that sets this company apart from its competitors is that they not only sell to other companies selling their products, they also sell directly to the consumer.

This has made a big difference and has translated into passing on the savings to his customers.

Also helping is Clark’s ability to choose quality products based on his own experience.

Another winning move was when American Blind secured a tractor trailer to make weekly trips from their manufacturing plant in Philadelphia to Rhode Island. That move cut the turnaround time for orders to roughly three to four weeks cutting the normal delivery time in half, Clark understands now especially how important the truck has been in the last year.

“There have been so many issues with the lack of drivers and the supply chain constantly breaking down,” said Clark. “Having our own trailer at our disposal has enabled our customers to get their orders in a timely fashion and without too many hands touching the items.”

American Blind doesn’t use shipping companies, couriers, or other methods because that provides more opportunities for breakage, he said. The truck leaves Philly and arrives in North Providence where the employees directly unload the trailer.

Fewer people handling the merchandise means fewer accidents.

People often have strong ideas about what they want for blinds, however, they may lack the technical expertise to handle such a project.

Clark said he understands. “Most people are not blind experts; WE ARE. We can come in and make recommendations, take the measurements and do the installation at no additional charge. From start to finish, American Blinds has you covered!

Their motto is: “Everything should be this easy”.

To begin, one of American Blinds designers, Linda Arruda or Coreen Pollino will come out to your home or business to measure your windows

for a perfect fit and to help you design the perfect style. Our designers have many years of experience and product knowledge in all aspects of custom window treatments.

Once your order has been fulfilled, their expert installation staff, headed by master installer Ryan Clark, will come back to your home to install your new window treatments professionally. All you have to do is to enjoy them! Ryan is also our motorization expert, motorized blinds today no longer need wiring, they recharge just like a cell phone, but only need to be charged once per year.

Their office manager, Julie Capaldo, is always here for your needs. Whether you have product questions, are setting up a measurement consultation or coordinating the installation of your blinds, you are in great hands with Julie. At American Blind, a dedicated staff will always be there for you; they actually think of everyone as family.

including Hunter Douglas, Worldwide Window Fashions, Graber, Norman Shutters and many more.

Customers will never find subpar or flimsy materials that other well-known outlets may use and then pass off as “quality” materials.

Since many people don’t know or understand the difference, those facilities can often “pawn off” their blinds. They also may not have the knowledge of whether a blind is worth investing in or going to need to be replaced in short order.

Clark assures his customers that they are “in this for the long haul. We aren’t here to sell customers an inferior product and go on to the next sale.”

For more details about American Blind Wholesale Outlet, including scheduling an appointment, please contact them at 401-351-5959 during normal business hours.

More details may also be found by visiting their website at: www.americanblindwholesaleoutlet.com

American Blind also has a dedicated service department with technicians who will come to a customer’s residence for blind repairs or to pick up blinds to be repaired. This is different from other places that will simply sell you a blind and after that you’re on your own. “We are all about customer service - our ultimate goal is for our customers to become repeat customers,” Clark said.

Customers not only rely on this top-notch service, they also rely on American Blinds topshelf materials. American Blinds carries only the top brands in the window covering industry Shop In RI 51 Shop In RI 51

How To Pick The Correct Paint Sheen Certainly, one of the more asked questions that I receive when I am having conversations about painting, whether interior or exterior, is what sheen of paint should be used when painting the surfaces that are being coated.

While at the end of the day, the decision really is situational depending on who is viewing the freshly painted surface, both right afterward and in the future, there are certain common themes that should be considered when figuring out what sheen makes the most sense for you individually.

Terminology can vary from one paint manufacturer to another, but as a general rule of thumb, here would be a list of paint sheen terms, listed from lowest to highest sheen, that you may run into most often:

Flat • Matte • Low Lustre • Satin • Semi (or Soft) Gloss • Gloss • High Gloss There are some universally accepted truths that should be considered while evaluating which sheen to choose for your project: - The higher the sheen, the easier the surface will be to clean.

- The higher the sheen, the easier any defects in the surface that is painted will be able to be seen.

-In terms of the exterior, the higher the sheen, the more natural resistance against the Sun’s Ultra-Violet rays, and therefore the more fade resistance.

-Some sheens are looked to as the ‘go-to’ sheens for specific surfaces, almost regardless of the situation.

-Take ceilings as an example, North of 97% of the ceilings we paint are done in a ‘Flat’ sheen.

-The few exceptions I have seen to this are in cases in which someone has a historic home where the ceiling has a super high sheen to it and the owners are working to keep this theme going.

This is generally because many times ‘back in the day’ the mindset was a bit opposite of what it is today, and it was much more commonplace to see a higher sheened ceiling. The one other exception I have run into was in instances where someone was aiming for a specific type of decorative look to their ceiling, either to mimic that of one of these historic ceilings or because it is their personal preference for a higher sheened ceiling.

On the opposite end of the spectrum would be the exteriorfacing side of entry doors – particularly front ones! In these cases, a higher sheen is often preferred, more so for aesthetic purposes than anything else (these higher glosses also tend to be SUPER easy to clean!).

While it is not always necessarily a ‘High Gloss’ (though in many cases a ‘High Gloss’ is definitely desired!!), doors in general are painted a “HIGHER” gloss than one might utilize on other areas of their exterior.

Keep in mind that whether it is the rare instance of it being used on a ceiling, in the application of the exterior side of an entry door, or any other substrate that the finish may be being applied to, the higher the gloss, the trickier the finish will be to work with and the less forgiving any stray brush or application marks will be.

Regardless of the surface that is being painted, ease of application may be a short-term idea that you balance with the benefit of your utopic finish for the surface that you are applying the paint to.

Whether you naturally lean toward liking higher sheens, lower sheens, or somewhere in between, doing a small sample test before you paint is the best way to truly get an idea of what the sheen will ultimately look like when used on a larger scale vs. painting the entire side of your home with a satin finish, when you really would have liked a low lustre finish much better.

Who knows?

You may even surprise yourself and by testing in this manner, you might discover that a sheen which you thought you would like, you do not actually like, and instead be led down a path where you find a sheen that you like much better than you may have ever thought of if you never tried testing!

The Marketing Camp 2024 is being held in Newport RI

By Mark Berger

and dinner, followed by a favorite Marketing Camp tradition; the Friday Night Firepit Party, which is open to both attendees and non-attendees.

Salvas said that it’s a fun tradition that enables attendees to meet and join in some activities.

“You’ll be networking with fun people, enjoying a whisky, smoking cigars by a fire pit, and watching a LIVE bluegrass band, as an added treat,” said Salvas. “This year, we have the amazingly talented ‘Four Bridges.’ They specialize in traditional and contemporary Bluegrass music.”

The Camp features presenters, who will each tackle different aspects of marketing. The purpose is to educate attendees about various marketing principles.

The newly renovated Wayfinder Hotel in Newport, a charming boutique hotel brought to life by a group of local chefs, bartenders, and innovative entrepreneurs, recently joined forces with ‘The Marketing Camp,” as the official host of the largest two-day marketing conference for small business owners in Rhode Island.

The Marketing Camp is an in-person marketing conference with a fun camping twist. The idea to layer a camping theme over a marketing conference came about by founders Sal Sauco, Dave Englund, both of Englund Studio in North Kingstown, and Bob Salvas, who works for the Rhode Island Builders Association (RIBA)in East Providence.

Englund said it best, as he shared, “Fun learning works better than dull learning. Ultimately, the techniques, tools, and tactics learned at The Marketing Camp tend to get remembered and applied to the businesses.”

Past attendees have been owners of new and existing businesses, as well as solo entrepreneurs, and have represented many different industries throughout New England.

The presentations run all day on Friday, May 31st, which includes a continental breakfast, lunch,

“Each presentation lasts 45 minutes long,” Sauco said. “This year, we have six presentations: Relationship Marketing, Communications Strategy, Social Media Marketing, Video Marketing, Content Strategy, and Sales Strategy. There are no boring powerpoint presentations at The Marketing Camp.

In addition, we ask all presenters to give away their best secrets, tips, tricks, and techniques.”

Some people will get to experience The Marketing Camp for the first time at its new Newport locale.

Others have turned this event into an annual tradition.

The Camp has succeeded in providing new ideas for business owners to put into practice right away.

“In the past 10 years, I’ve attended many marketing conferences—and without a doubt—The Marketing Camp was by far the BEST one I attended,” says attorney, Tim Sweet, a past attendee.

In holding to the camping theme, camp counselors keep the program moving and on-time, with 15-minute breaks in between the presentations (a perfect duration for Q&A with the presenter or just to stretch and review notes).

Salvas added, “The camp counselors lead you through strategic networking with all the other attendees.

We have surprise giveaways spread throughout the

“Every year after the last presentation and just before dinner, an award is given out to the best small business, with exceptional marketing in the areas of creativity, customer-centric engagement, smart use of social media, and brand awareness, as seen around the state,” Sauco added. “We feel it’s important to highlight businesses that are taking marketing seriously. In fact, we call the award the WGM Award, which stands for We Get Marketing.”

Attendees are encouraged to book a room at The Wayfinder, so they can wake up ready to go for Part 2 of the conference on Saturday morning.

The conference ends with a question-and-answer panel, offering attendees a chance to get specific marketing advice. Many business cards have been passed and strong alliances have been made at past Marketing Camps.

A ratings survey is given out at the close of the conference to improve on presentations, location, education, networking, and accommodations.

Sauco said, “We’ve begged people for negative feedback. We feel feedback is a gift; the only negativity we’ve gotten is they wish it lasted longer!”

Interested in having a sponsor table? If you sell to other businesses, it would be a great opportunity for your business to get in front of other growing business owners.

Sponsorships are limited, so contact The Marketing Camp by email at: sal@englundstudio.com. day, team building exercises, and so much more.”

Activities Director Michelle Girasole, owner of Fresh Maps in North Kingstown, said, “In every sense of the word, it is truly a retreat for business owners to meet other business owners and recharge their marketing batteries.”

She noted that by the time the first presentation is over, everyone in the room is comfortable and are asking questions, taking notes, sharing feedback, and even encouraging the other attendees with their businesses. It’s a truly bonding time for all,” Girasole said.

If you sponsor, then you still get to attend and learn all the great content at The Marketing Camp.

Meet The Dream Team: Rocco Elgar Each month, Shop in RI Magazine profiles one member of “The Dream Team,” a weekly networking group that meets in Smithfield. This month, we feature Rocco Elgar, President of Homefront Building Inspections in Smithfield.

Rocco began his journey more than two-and-a-half decades ago, when starting a young family meant he needed to move on from working for others in the racing greyhound business.

He says while watching another home inspector go through his first home purchase, Elgar realized that he could also make the career switch.

“I took many different construction-related classes at Tri-County Regional Vocational Technical High School (in Franklin, MA),” he said. “I had a wide array of construction, electrical, plumbing, HVAC courses and even earned a MA Refrigeration Apprentice License before completing high school. That experience gave me a nice base of knowledge.”

Rocco credits his Home Inspector Training and Certification at The Inspection Experts (Boca Raton, FL.) as the real springboard to opening Homefront Building Inspections in January 1998. The course was tremendous, covering all ends of operating a successful home inspection business, says Elgar.

thorough and as an educator, especially for first-time home buyers.

Rocco warns in this market of waiving inspections.

“If you put down a deposit and then waive the home inspection, then you are at risk of losing that money if you have to back away from the sale,” he said. “Don’t waive that opportunity! Many people are looking at the home’s location, cosmetics, kitchen space, etc.

Home inspectors like me are unbiased and focus on the ‘bones’—structure and mechanicals. Doing the home inspection is informative and protects your interest not the seller, lender, Realtor, or anyone else.”

Additional testing services Elgar provides include: radon testing, well/water tests, lead paint and more.

“The Dream Team” currently has 20 members. They meet every Wednesday morning, from 7:00 AM until 8:30 AM, at the Home2Suites Hilton on Douglas Pike (Rte. 7) in Smithfield, across from Laura’s Bar and Grill. The group is looking to grow its team and is interested in meeting professionals from various businesses looking to connect and help each other grow through referral business. Dream Team is all about, “Friends helping Friends” Further information about the group may be found by contacting either President Rocco Elgar at 401265-0857 or at therockhbi@msn.com, or Vice President Tim Richard at 401-766-4200 or at tim@ estenandrichardinsurance.com.

Homefront Building Inspections works with residential and commercial clients in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Rocco assesses the visible structural and mechanical components and documents his findings in a thorough but easy-to- understand inspection report. The information enables buyers to make informed decisions and sometimes using the information as a negotiating tool. Elgar is known as 66 Shop In RI

Creating Easter Traditions

By Julia Romano

According to the New Testament, Jesus was arrested by the Roman authorities because he claimed to be the “Son of God.” He was sentenced to death by Pontius Pilate, the Roman officer in the province of Judea. From A.D. 26 to 36 Jesus’ death by crucifixion marked by the Christian holiday Good Friday (the Friday before Easter), and subsequent resurrection three days later is said, by the authors of the gospels, to prove that he was the living son of God. The Easter holiday concludes the “Passion of Christ,” a series of events and holidays that begins with Lent—a 40-day period of fasting, prayer, and sacrifice—and ends with Holy Week, which includes Holy Thursday (the celebration of Jesus’ Last Supper with his 12 Apostles, also known as “Maundy Thursday”), Good Friday, and Easter Sunday.

Easter Sunday is one of the most festive and important events among Christians worldwide, as it commemorates Jesus Christ’s resurrection from death, as is written in the Christian bible.

As such, we must acknowledge and give praise to what the Easter holiday truly represents. By not doing so, we are ignoring our one and only Savior, Jesus Christ, and overlooking that He was sacrificed for the sake of all of us and our sins.

As Easter is a Christian holiday that celebrates the belief in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, in the New Testament of the Bible, the event is said to have occurred three days after Jesus was crucified by the Romans, and He died in roughly A.D. 30.

The resurrection of Jesus, as described in the New Testament, is essentially the foundation upon which the Christian religions are built.

Therefore, Easter is a very significant date on the Christian calendar.

68 Shop In RI

A significant part to remember is that all four of the gospels in the New Testament (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) state that those who believe in Jesus’ death and resurrection are given “the gift of eternal life,” meaning that those of faith will be welcomed into the “Kingdom of Heaven,” upon their earthly death.

Many Christians worldwide celebrate Easter with special church services, music, candlelight, flowers, and the ringing of church bells. Easter processions are held in some countries such as the Philippines and Spain. Many Christians view Easter as the greatest feast of the Church year. It is a day of joy and celebration to commemorate that Jesus Christ is risen, according to Christian belief.

Although Easter maintains great religious significance, many children in countries such as Australia, Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom, think of it as a time

to get new spring clothes, to decorate eggs, and to participate in Easter egg hunts, where eggs are hidden by the Easter Bunny. Many children also receive Easter baskets full of candy, snacks, and presents at this time of the year.

In addition, families gather and commonly share Easter brunch or Easter dinner together, while feasting on foods such as Easter bread, hot cross buns, with main dishes including baked ham or lamb, and specialty traditions, such as Pizza Gaina (also known as Pizza Rustica), a traditional Italian dish with a doublecrust that’s loaded with an egg custard, an Italian cured meats and cheeses.

Desserts, such rice pie, ricotta pie, and cheesecake, are also commonly served at Easter dinners.

Many restaurants are open on Easter Sunday, typically offering a special menu for the holiday. Check online to see which RI restaurants are open, and be sure to make reservations early. And if you are ordering your Easter desserts, call ahead to any one of the amazing bakeries across our state for the popular rice and/or ricotta pies, or any other dessert of your liking .
