Join or Die Film Screening

September 10, 5:30-7:30 PM  
Roger Williams Park Casino

 

A film about why you should join a club…and why the fate of America depends on it.

Directed by Rebecca Davis and Pete Davis, Join or Die follows the story of America’s civic unraveling through the journey of Robert Putnam, whose legendary “Bowling Alone” research into American community decline may hold the answers to our democracy’s present crisis. For a synopsis and trailer, visit JoinOrDieFilm.com.

Join the Roger Williams Park Conservancy on September 10 for a free screening of the film at the Casino! Doors open at 5:30 PM, film screening at 6 PM.

Consider donating to support the Conservancy’s important work building community in the Park! Register for this free documentary film screening online.

Calling all nonprofit, community and civic groups! Immediately following the film, we’ll be hosting a “Joining Fair.” Sign up to showcase your group’s volunteer or club opportunities! (Please plan to bring your own table, and feel free to partner with other groups if you’d like to share a table).

The community screening is presented in partnership with AARP Rhode Island, The Providence Eye, and Leadership Rhode Island.

#GivingTuesday2025 is just around the corner, and we get it – there are so many wonderful local nonprofits seeking support this time of year!

Why include Roger Williams Park Conservancy in your giving plan?

Behind the more than 50 free and low-cost programs hosted every year, the restoration of beloved historic structures still playing a role in the community today, and the expansive green spaces and waterways sustaining humans and wildlife alike, there are crucial partnerships and much hard work that goes into stewarding Roger Williams Park.

As Board Member Chris Lanen shares – and so many families can relate to! – "the Park provides [a] retreat into nature. Individually, it gives me a place to exercise and decompress. As a parent, it gives my child a magical place to play, explore, and learn throughout the year.”
