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

 

  
Details of David Pecker's Involvement in Donald Trump's alleged hush money trial came to light in court Thursday. Pecker took the stand for his third day of testimony, and revealed conversations between himself, the former President, and Associate Michael Cohen. Pecker says he arranged to buy the story surrounding Trump's alleged affair with Playboy model Karen McDougal for $150,000, but backed out of the deal after consulting with election lawyers, believing the payment may break the law.        Students at Columbia University are filing a federal civil rights lawsuit against the school. They filed the complaint with the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights on Thursday, demanding an investigation into the school's actions against pro-Palestinian students. The lawsuit alleges Columbia has mistreated students utilizing their first amendment rights.        The Food and Drug Administration says remnants of the bird flu were found in one in five pasteurized milk samples. Earlier this week, the FDA found fragments of the bird flu in commercially sold milk but said it's still safe to drink, as the pasteurization process kills the virus and only leaves small traces behind. On Thursday officials revealed about 20-percent of their milk samples contained remnants of the virus.        Former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein is having his conviction for sex crimes in New York overturned. The New York Court of Appeals ruled Weinstein did not receive a fair trial. The court found the judge in his trial made an error allowing women to testify about alleged sexual assaults committed by Weinstein that were not part of the charges against him. Weinstein was also sentenced in Los Angeles in February of last year to 16 years in prison after he was convicted of rape and that conviction still stands.        Buying a home is now more expensive than ever. A new report from Redfin found the median home price in the United States is now over 383-thousand-dollars, a record high. The economic research lead with Redfin says prices may drop slightly in the coming months, but buyers should accept that "housing costs are likely to remain elevated for the foreseeable future." The median down payment is also up 24-percent compared to last year, at around 56-thousand-dollars.        Soulja Boy says he wants to help save TikTok. Congress passed a bill on Wednesday that requires TikTok's Chinese-owned parent company ByteDance to sell the app or else it will be banned in the United States. Soulja Boy has offered up a solution, posting "How much yall want for TikTok? I'll buy it." The rapper tagged the social media company in the post.
