August 14:  Potter League Night

Admire fine art, drink fine wine and help animals in the process! Visit with members of the Potter League who will answer your questions and provide information on animals for adoption. All proceeds from the evening will benefit the Potter League, an animal welfare organization that promotes the humane treatment of animals, and provides shelter and care for lost or unwanted pets. Thank you to Newport Vineyards for generously donating their Rhody Coyote hard cider and a selection of their fine wines to be served that evening.
