Last Thursday, we hosted an event to help two community organizations fund their activities. The opportunity came when one of our managers got involved in a theatrical performance here in Providence. The group, called The Players, performs shows at the Barker Playhouse on Benefit Street on the East Side of Providence. During the run of each show, they offer one evening where an organization can purchase the entire house and develop it into a fundraiser or offer it as a benefit to employees or clientele. We chose to do both. 
The show was open to agents and guests as a perk. We suggested that each person make a donation to the RI Community Food Bank instead of paying a ticket price. It was left up to the agent to decide what they wanted to contribute. That is where the generosity of our Residential Property family started to flow. On Friday, we forwarded $1,410 in donations to the RI Community Food Bank . The Food Bank is a vital organization providing their needed service to help those who are having a rough time providing meals. Based in Providence, the group reaches out across the state. Several groups partner with them with support from larger corporations. Donations are gladly accepted and they explain how you can donate to them on their site. The Players is also a non-profit organization. It was established as a club back in 1909 by Harry Barker and Professor Thomas Crosby of Brown University (he was the founder of Sock and Buskin at Brown in 1901) to present live theater to the citizens of Providence. It is the oldest continuously running little theater in the US. Membership is open to those interested in theater, whether it be performing, contributing or watching. Our purchase of the night helped them in their quest to provide good theater.
