Changing Lives Room by Room  

Briarwood II, Osterville, MA

The inaugural 2015 Cape Designer ShowHouse, Briarwood II, opens Friday, June 12 through June 28 in Osterville, MA. Proceeds from the Cape Designer ShowHouse will benefit WE CAN, the organization dedicated to empowering Cape Cod women to achieve lasting positive change for themselves and their families.  

More than 20 award-winning designers from Boston, Cape Cod and the Islands are donating their time and talents to transform an exquisite, turn-of-the-century, shingle-style home first inhabited in 1910 by the current owner’s great-grandparents. Visitors to the ShowHouse will see a superb exhibition of fine furnishings and art representing imaginative design trends throughout this treasure nestled near the water in this historic Cape Cod village.

Tickets are $35 in advance, $40 at the door, and $30 for groups of 15 or more, sold at Margo’s in Osterville and all Puritan of Cape Cod locations or online at www.wecancenter.org starting April 20^th. ShowHouse hours are Fridays, 10 AM to 7 PM, Sundays 1 PM to 5 PM, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday, Saturday, 10 AM to 4 PM. Free parking & shuttle service available. No handicap accessibility.

WE CAN changes lives. For more than 10 years, WE CAN has been dedicated to empowering Cape Cod women of all ages to successfully navigate challenging life transitions such as career change, job loss, illness, divorce or retirement. Whether the situation is acute or chronic, WE CAN helps--with information and referrals, mentoring, free legal services, financial consultations, work-related and personal development workshops— fostering independence and empowering women to achieve lasting positive change for themselves, their families and ultimately for the entire community.

An update of Ryan's Ride's progress in the past year;

February 2014, we went to the State House and testified on behalf of Ryan's Ride bill to make it a law, that in the event you get a knock on the door telling you your loved one has been involved in a life-threatening accident, if a ride is needed, the police officer will secure a ride to take you to your loved one. At this time, we do not know the fate of the bill yet, but we are hopeful that we can get this passed.  You can find out more about our bill at https://malegislature.gov/Bills/188/House/H2136.

October, we teamed up with the Red Cross to help give back to the community; it was a successful Blood Drive.

November, we held our annual spaghetti dinner. There was a lot of good food, music, and over 100 raffles. 

Amazon helps charities with their Smiles Program and Ryan's Ride is now part of the Smiles program.  If you follow the link you can find out how you can help Ryan's Ride https://smile.amazon.com/ch/27-0521125.

Please ask your friends, family, and coworkers to join us to walk or ride for Ryan's ride on June 20^th, 2015. What you do today could help a family tomorrow.
