Woonsocket Radio News Room

We are happy to announce our first “Just for Kicks” soccer experience program for Woonsocket residents and/or taxpayers only.

 

Covid has managed to take a lot away from our kids and while a full program wasn’t able to be put together by the wonderful people of Cracovia Soccer this year (due to the restrictions at the time of the planning phase) they have reported that they will be returning next year!

 

This program is designed to fill a void, in the meantime, and get those with little to no skill hopefully up to par with those who have played before.  We hope to “catch them up” and not have them lose yet another year of fun, skills and development.   We will be working on skills and drills with some experience with scrimmages.  This program will likely be too slow for those with more intermediate/advanced soccer skills. 

 

Space is limited so register soon!

 

As we work to grow our contact lists I ask that you SHARE this email and information with your family, friends, co-workers, clients and residents. 

We rely on word of mouth to continue to make our events/ programs successful and known to everyone, as we simply do not have everyone’s contact email!

 

Lastly, we ask that if you are not following Woonsocket Parks & Recreation on Facebook, that you do so!  We post all of our most current information and updates on there so that we do not inundate you with emails!

 

Be well and hope to see you soon!

Liz 😊

A Park that is Used is Never Abused

 

  
Former President Trump's claim that he can't face prosecution for anything done while in the Oval Office if he's not first impeached by the House and convicted by the Senate goes before the Supreme Court today. Trump's attorneys will try to convince the Court that Trump shouldn't face charges for alleged election interference. The former president maintains that not having total immunity would lead to an endless cycle of politically-motivated prosecutions.        House Speaker Mike Johnson visited Columbia University Wednesday, demanding its president resign unless she reigns in what he called anti-semitic protests. His comments come as pro-Palestinian protests continue against Israel's war with Hamas continue to spread across college campuses nationwide. The speaker raised the possibility of calling in the National Guard if protests are not quashed.        Activist Malala Yousafzai [[ MAH-la-la you-SOFF-zye ]] is speaking out in support of the Palestinian cause. On Wednesday, the Nobel Peace Prize winner released a statement on social media saying she condemns the Israeli government for violating international law and committing war crimes.        The City of Minneapolis has reached a settlement with a man who witnessed the murder of George Floyd. Donald Williams was at the scene of the crime back in May of 2020, and claims Derek Chauvin [[ SHO-vin ]] and another former Minneapolis police officer caused him emotional damage that amounted to assault. Williams filed a civil lawsuit last May claiming the officer's actions "constituted a threat of bodily harm." The Minneapolis City Council is expected to approve a settlement of 150-thousand dollars on Thursday.       The U.S. Department of Agriculture says any dairy cows transported across state lines must be tested for bird flu. In March, an outbreak of the bird flu was found in herds of dairy cows for the first time and just this week fragments of the virus were found in pasteurized milk samples.        Meta shares dropped Wednesday in after-hours trading after an underwhelming first quarter earnings report. While the report beat expectations, the company's capital expenditure outlook for the year was increased. Stock fell 15 percent after market close after rising 39 percent so far this year.
