Next Event: Volunteer Opportunity - Cemetery Documentation

Our 2008 Event Schedule

May 10^th
           Volunteer Opportunity - Cemetery Documentation - Locust Grove Cemetery, Elmwood Avenue in Providence Rhode Island. The Obscure Company officers will be joining with the Rhode Island Historical Cemetery Commission to aid them in documenting the gravestones at the Locust Grove Cemetery.  It is their hope "to formulate and develop plans and programs to restore, rehabilitate and maintain historical cemeteries and locate sources of funds such as grants and individual or corporate sponsors".  Our hope is to provide any support to organizations in Rhode Island that are improving the conditions of the area.  This is a continuation of our efforts to provide volunteers from our network to organizations in Rhode Island.  Hopefully there will be more opportunities posted as they are identified.  Contact John Colwell to let us know you are coming! We will arrive at 9:30 am and stay as long as you are able.  Click here for what the RIHCC recommends for a cemetery documentation.
June 21^st
           Golf Outing - For the past few years we have held a golf outing at Fairlawn Golf Course in Lincoln Rhode Island.  With increasing interest in the event we are going to expand it to have a shot-gun start, more participants and raise some money for charity!
September 6^th
            Sit A Thon - The signature Obscure Company Event continues.  Every year The Obscure Company organizes a Sit A Thon (similar to a walk a thon, with more focus on couches...) to raise money for the American Cancer Society's Camp Hope (a camp for children and their siblings with cancer).  Over the years The Obscure Company has raised over $18000.00 for these organizations, and in 2007 was able to give its largest donation to date of $5,500.00.  This is a wonderful cause and Obscure Company officers and board members are considering volunteering their time as councilors this year as well as their efforts to make the Sit A Thon a success.
December 13^th
            End of the Year Banquet - Each year we take a night to reflect on our accomplishments for the year and recognize those who have made it possible.  It is always a fun time, and provides an opportunity for Obscure Company enthusiasts to network and meet the others who make the company a success.
December 26^th
            Boxing Day - This year The Obscure Company will attempt to import the Canadian holiday of Boxing Day.  Each year in the privileged society we live in we receive gifts that we believe could find better use with other people.  We will be organizing a gift pick up - and arranging for these appreciated, yet un-needed, gifts to make their way to someone who could better benefit from them.
