Tea with Tina Rescheduled
YOU'RE INVITED
On Saturday May 2, the Rhode Island State House will be open for special Saturday hours from 10 AM - 1 PM. The RI Department of State will offer abbreviated State House tours and State Archives staff will have the Act of Renunciation on display. Rhode Island 250-themed exhibits will be on display, and free raffles and giveaways will be available while supplies last. See more here.
So we can all attend, I will be postponing my next Tea with Tina until one week later, May 9th (details below.)
Hope to see you there!
"As we commemorate our nation's semiquincentennial year, Rhode Islanders should be proud to first recognize Rhode Island Independence Day – when our small state was the first to renounce its allegiance to the Crown. I hope Rhode Islanders and visitors alike will join us at the State House to learn more about Rhode Island's role in the Revolution and see our history up close."
— Secretary of State Gregg M. Amore
Our next Tea with Tina will be May 9, 2026.
