Restoration Hall on the IYRS campus was filled wit Restoration Hall on the IYRS campus was filled with women deeply focused on their Mah Jongg tiles during a lively afternoon of play. The gathering was the brainchild of Karen Cadwalader, a psychiatric nurse practitioner, board member of Newport Mental Health, and member of its philanthropic volunteer group 100 Women. She spearheaded the idea of bringing people together for an afternoon of strategy, connection, and meaningful support for @newportmentalhealth_ri. “Mah Jongg has really taken the island by storm since COVID,” explained Cadwalader, who first began brainstorming the concept with Mary Van Pelt during the organization’s Rock the Beach gala last year. When Newport Mental Health partnered with the International Yacht Restoration School to launch a new program for staff and students, the perfect venue emerged in Restoration Hall. As players shuffled tiles and laid down their Dots, Bams, and Craks, they also enjoyed a preview of a new exhibition: large-scale, site-responsive paintings by Cy Gavin, curated by Art & Newport’s Dodie Kazanjian. The artistry extended to the gaming tables themselves, where a dazzling array of Mah Jongg boards—from antique sets to neon-bright designs—captivated the crowd. Pamela Younes admired a hand-painted set beside her, its characters etched in a delicate lavender hue. For those eager to learn, Dotsie Bohan, known as @crakbamdotsie, hosts monthly lessons at @StoneacreGarden. “We had all different pockets of the island coming together because of Mah Jongg,” said board member @hillarydavidson_, who expressed her gratitude for the community’s support of Newport Mental Health. The nonprofit has been serving Aquidneck Island for 60 years, providing affordable, accessible care for mental health and substance use disorders. Services include immediate walk-in access, active community outreach, and 24/7 mobile crisis response. If you or someone you know is in crisis, dial 988 for help. #buzzingaroundnewport #newportbuzz #newportri
Experience the allure of Newport’s storied past Experience the allure of Newport’s storied past at 23 Willow Street, a 19th-century sea captain’s residence that embodies the city’s maritime heritage. Set in the coveted Point neighborhood — named by Rhode Island Monthly as one of the best streets to live on in the entire state — this home offers a rare chance to own a piece of history in one of Newport’s most beloved enclaves. Spanning just under 2,000 square feet, the residence features five bedrooms and three full bathrooms, with original wide-plank wood floors and period architectural details that celebrate its 1830 origins. The interiors exude old-world charm, inviting you to embrace the timeless character while infusing your own vision into the venerable structure. Outdoors, a secret garden unfolds as a tranquil escape, complete with a Belgian-block patio framed by lush plantings. The rarity of a two-car driveway adds both convenience and value in this historic district, where such features are seldom found. Sited at the corner of tree-lined Willow and Second Streets, the home enjoys a picturesque vantage overlooking the stately St. John’s Church. Just one block from the harbor and moments from the Newport Shipyard, America’s Cup Avenue, and Storer Park, the location is both central and serene — where the sound of church bells mingles with sea breezes drifting off Newport Harbor. This is more than a home; it is an invitation to live Newport as it was meant to be lived — a blend of maritime history, architectural character, and coastal charm. 23 Willow Street, Newport, RI 5 Beds | 3 Full Baths 1,941 Sq. Ft. | Historic Garden with Patio Two-Car Driveway | One Block from the Harbor Offered by Parker Sizeland (@parker_sizeland) and Kara Malkovich (@karamalkovich_realestate) of @liladelmancompass for $1,525,000
