Residents of the Niagara Neighborhood as well as the
rest of the City gathered in Pulaski Park for a cook-out and party in the
park on June 28, 2014. The event featured free hot dogs and lots of
activities for the children, including face painting and free books
donated by Ocean State Job Lot. Julie
Kelly of Fall
River Mass in Motion was on hand with Fall
River Police Officers Ruggiero and Saraiva to fit free bicycle helmets
donated by the Kivanis
Club of Fall River and BMC HealthNet
Plan. The most popular table was one organized by Home Depot
which gave children a chance to make several items out of wood. Local
politicians were on hand as well as gubernatorial candidate
Don Berwick to greet participants. "I'm so glad to be here with
the children of this neighborhood and elsewhere celebrating the beginning
of summer,," reported Niagara Neighborhood Association member Angela
Foley. Click
