Abstract

The "Spaghetti Dinner for Japan Relief" was held on Thursday April 14, 2011 at the Rainbow Diversity House at the University of Rhode Island. The event was coordinated by Edwin ("Tripp") Hutchinson, Program Coordinator for the Rainbow Diversity House. The dinner was co-sponsored and supported by the Rainbow Diversity House, the Office of Housing and Residential Life, the GLBT Center & the Office of International Education at the University of Rhode Island. Approximately $1000.00 was raised (after late community donations) and the event brought in close to 150 people. Local businesses provided donations and assistance for the event.
