<h3><strong>LOCATION:  Renaissance Church (in the shopping center at Adelaide Avenue and Reservoir Avenue, directly between the closed Stop &amp; Shop and Alvarez High School)<br />

</div>
<h3>The site of the former Gorham Manufacturing Company on Adelaide Avenue has received a lot of attention over the past few years.  Residents have raised concerns about the environmental contamination on the site and its potential impact on the health and well-being of the neighborhood, as well as students and staff at Alvarez High School, which was built on the site in 2007.  Residents, elected officials, and the responsible parties who are in charge of cleaning up the site have all played an important role in this process.</h3>
<div>
<h3><span style="font-size:medium;">Recently a group of residents living near the site&#8211;which in addition to Alvarez High School also has a now-vacant Stop &amp; Shop building and gas station&#8211; has come together again to work with the responsible parties&#8211;the Providence Redevelopment Agency, the Department of Environmental Management, and Textron&#8211;to ensure that everything is being done to fully protect residents from contamination still on the site, as well as communicate with residents about progress on the site&#8217;s full cleanup and redevelopment.</span></h3>
</div>
<div>
<h3><strong><span style="font-size:medium;">Please join us for a special community forum on Tuesday, May 11th at from 6-7:30pm. </span></strong><span style="font-size:medium;">Neighborhood residents will moderate a panel of speakers including&#8211;Tom Deller, Director of the Providence Redevelopment Agency, Joe Martella, Site Manager for the Gorham site from the Department of Environmental Management, and Jamieson Schiff and Greg Simpson from Textron.</span></h3>
</div>
<div>

<h1>October CARE Alliance: Brownfields and Contaminated Land in Providence</h1>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="color:#993300;">Wednesday, October 14th at 6pm at Knight Memorial Library (275 Elmwood Ave.) in the basement<br />
</span></strong></p>
<p>Join us for a discussion on Brownfields and contamination problems in Providence.  Speakers include staff from the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM), the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) New England Office, and Southside Community Land Trust, an organization dedicated to growing food in the city.</p>
<p>Providence has a long and proud industrial history especially in jewelry manufacturing, metalwork, and tool-making.  But along with this proud history comes the reality of environmental contamination that makes our ponds, rivers, and often our land unsafe and polluted.  Examples of Brownfields include old factory buildings or pieces of land where a factory used to be.</p>
<p>The CARE Alliance will discuss what community needs exist in relation to contamination problems, including better communication with DEM and the city about specific sites, or more awareness among community members about the problem.</p>
<p>Refreshments and childcare provided.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#993300;"><strong>The EJ League’s CARE Alliance is:<br />
</strong><span style="color:#000000;">**A forum to learn about environmental problems and ideas for solutions from your neighbors and experts**<br />
**An action group that will educate and involve more community members based on their interests and concerns**<br />
**A partnership to identify and implement changes in the city that will reduce environmental and health problems for all of Providence**</span></span></p>

<h1>Reunion de la Alianza CARE en octubre: “Brownfields” y tierra contaminada en Providence</h1>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><span style="color:#993300;">Miercoles, 14 de octubre a las 6pm en la Biblioteca Knight Memorial (275 de la Avenida Elmwood) en el sotano</span></strong></p>
<p>Reuna con nosotros para una conversacion sobre “Brownfields” y la tierra contaminada en Providence.  Oradores incluyen estaff del Departamento del Medioambiente de Rhode Island (RIDEM), de la Agencia de Proteccion Medioambiental (EPA) de New England, y de Southside Community Land Trust, una organizacion dedicada a la cultivacion de alimentos en la ciudad.</p>
<p>Providence tiene una historia industrial muy larga y orgullosa, especialmente en la fabricacion de joyeria, metales, y herramientos.  Pero, con esta historia orgullosa, viene la realidad de contaminacion medioambiental que para nosotros ha resultado en rios, lagos, y tierra contaminados y peligrosos. Ejemplos de Brownfields incluyen edificios de antiguas fabricas o sitios donde estuvo una antigua fabrica.</p>
<p>La Alianza CARE discutira que son las necesidades de la comunidad en relacion a los problemas de contaminacion, incluyendo mejor comunicacion con RIDEM y la ciudad acerca a sitios especificos, o mas educacion en la comunidad acerca del problema.</p>
<p>Refrescos y cuidado de ninos seran ofrecidos.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#993300;"><strong>La Alianza CARE de la Liga es:<br />
</strong><span style="color:#000000;">**Un foro para aprender de sus vecinos y de expertos acerca de problemas medioambientales y de salud, y sobre ideas para soluciones**<br />
