at Sin Desserts (1413 Westminster Street, Providence, RI 02909) on Monday, July 24th, from 5:30-7:00pm. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about the benefits of participating in both programs via a brief speaking portion. Speakers include:

• Jennifer Luxmoore, Owner, Sin Desserts / Graduate of LRI’s 2010 Zeta II Class and 10KSB
• Mike Ritz, Executive Director, Leadership Rhode Island
• Karina Wood, Executive Director, Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses

Complimentary hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar will be available.

Each year Leadership Rhode Island selects a diverse group of established and emerging leaders to participate in a thought-provoking, 10-month (January–October) community leadership program. Statewide issues are examined through the perspectives of experts, on-site visits, readings, discussion groups, problem-solving exercises, and other experiential activities.

The Core Program is a not a starting point, but rather a process for leaders to refine and enhance their commitment to Rhode Island throughout their lives. Participation opens the door to ongoing personal growth, professional development, and community leadership. Graduates join LRI’s network of 2,000-plus alumni and a life of Rhode Island stewardship. There is only one way to be part of this – experience it yourself.

Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses is a 12-week, no cost program that helps small businesses grow and create jobs by providing them with greater access to education, financial capital, and business support services. Through the program, designed by Babson College, small business owners gain practical skills in topics such as negotiation, marketing, finances and employee management that can immediately be put into action.

In addition, entrepreneurs work with a business advisor to develop a strategic and customized growth plan to take your business to the next level. The classes are conveniently located at CCRI’s Warwick campus. The 12-week program is offered 3 times a year. All selected applicants receive a full scholarship, so the program is no-cost. Eligible applicants are business owners / co-owners who have a business based in RI that has been in operation for at least 2 years, with at least 2 employees (can include the owner) and making at least $100,000 annual gross revenue.

Sin is a coffee shop, dessert bar, and custom cake shop.

During the day you will find a full line of coffee and espresso drinks (including Nitro!) along with muffins, scones, cinnamon rolls and of course our award winning cakes. Evenings add beautifully plated desserts carefully paired with cocktails, beer, and wine.

Sin also offers special occasion cakes and desserts perfect for your wedding, birthday, or dinner party. Every item is designed and made just for you using the best ingredients like real cream, butter, dark chocolates, Dutch cocoas, and vanilla. Since we make everything from scratch we can accommodate most dietary needs like vegan, gluten free, and eggless.

Sin is based in Providence but delivers to Rhode Island, southern Massachusetts, the Cape and Boston.

So, go ahead and Sin… Eat wicked, never feel guilty.
