As we close out May, let’s look forward to June & July events here at The Hive RI! 

As we say farewell to May and step fully into Summer in Southern, RI we welcome you to join us for coworking at The Hive RI, to attend one of our Summer events or support any of the local businesses here in our mill community!  

🐝 Lunch& Learn with us on Friday, June 14th: Our next Lunch & Learn workshop, The Cornerstones of Remarkable Success, is on Friday, June 14th from noon – 1:00. Join us for this lunchtime presentation filled with inspiration, knowledge, and networking. Learn from an industry expert about the building blocks for not just success, but remarkable success! Looking at examples such as Dave’s Fresh Marketplace, MD Anderson Cancer Center, and Patagonia, you will learn how to apply three core success fundamentals to your work or business. This live, no-screen, interactive lunchtime workshop will be taught by Paul Stavrand, a collaborative success builder and longtime Hive member.  Learn more and reserve your spot here!

🐝 Historical Walking Tour with Tim Cranston, part of the Town of North Kingstown’s 350th on Saturday, July 13th.  Mark your calendars and plan on joining us for this lively walking tour around the Lafayette Mill complex.  Along the way you will learn about the Mill’s founder and original owner, Robert Rodman, and how he and the hundreds of folks who lived in the village lived their lives. We will also touch upon topics like the Industrial Revolution, the differences between a southern RI mill village and other mill villages in New England, and the Negro Goods trade. The walk will begin at The Hive RI (the original boiler room!) which is across the parking lot from the waterfall behind the main Lafayette Mill building (in case you haven’t been before) and we’ll be circling through this remarkable place – one of the very best examples of a southern Rhode Island mill village.  For more information and to register, click here.
