Gaspee Days Committee
President's Message

Dr. John Concannon

President 2009-2011

Dr. John Concannon
         Welcome to the web site of the Gaspee Days Committee. Ever since our organization was first established in 1965, our members have continuously strived to provide celebrations that enhance the understanding of the importance of the Gaspee Affair in the founding of our nation. In the time since I first joined the Committee in 1988, I have also witnessed a strong broadening of our mission to enhance the community spirit of our home in Pawtuxet Village. So, please, explore this site of the Gaspee Days Committee to learn what we do.  Explore the Gaspee Virtual Archives at www.gaspee.org to learn why we do it.  Then visit www.Pawtuxet.com to see where we do it.
        All of our Gaspee Days activities require a team of dedicated volunteers to plan, fund, and produce.  We welcome, and need, community-minded people like you to help us in these efforts.  I confess that I am not a native-born Rhode Islander, but my close friends on the Gaspee Days Committee have joined my small family here to become my extended family.  Please join us at one of our meetings that are held at 7:30 pm on the first Thursday of each month at the scenic Aspray Boat House adjoining Pawtuxet Park.
