RIMSOA Recycles | Volunteers Needed
With Resources for RI Education (RRIE) closing, the Rhode Island Museum of Science & Art (RIMOSA) is investigating the feasibility of picking up the mantle of Creative Material Provider and continuing to provide clean, non-toxic, excess materials from local business and manufacturing to educators and the RI community for reuse! In the coming few weeks, they will meet with the Director of RRIE to determine what materials RIMOSA can acquire and how to transition membership, etc to a new location. In order to make this transition work, RIMOSA will need lots of volunteer support! Express interest in volunteering here.
