In Newport, there exists one decent restaurant: Thames Street Kitchen (TSK). Devoid of the garbage culinary scene characteristic of our quanit, seaside town, TSK seems the only restaurant that "gets it." The food is good, tasty, and not offensive.
My friends, tutor, and mentor Martha Cummings had the sagacity to thus host a fundraiser for her nonprofit, Universal Promise, at TSK. That evening was a learning experience for me. Much of my RhodySquash fundraising has happened over lunch, dinner, and the telephone. We haven't ventured into the party territory, and I hitherto had no idea what a small fundraiser might look like.
The meal was delicious and the company superb. And for Martha's purpose, she raised a lot of money for an international cause in town known for it's provincialism (to cross the bridge is unthinkable) and one lacking in big New York City hedge funders.
