We lost a great community Leader in Bienvenido Garcia.

He was known for his generosity, loyalty and his giving heart. He was the founder of the Club Juan Pablo Duarte in 1991, which have become a hub for social, cultural, civic and political engagement for multigeneration Dominicans in the State.

He was also the founder of the Dominican American Association of RI. His concern for the wellbeing of our youth brought him to the Providence School Board, where he was appointed to several terms. Additionally, he was a Trustee of the Providence Building Sanitary and Educational Association.

Bienvenido was a Director of Programs at the Urban League for more than a decade; and later became the Environmental Director for the City’s Department of Public Works.

He was very engaged in local and national politics; recognizing the importance of civic engagement. Above all, he was known for his love for both, his native Dominican Republic and the love for his adoptive homeland, Providence.
Providence and the State have lost a champion.

May his memory be a blessing to all who knew him. Rest in power. ... See MoreSee Less

Statement for Senior Deputy Majority Leader Nicholas J. Narducci Jr. Regarding the Providence Police Narcotics Bureau:

I wish to commend the Providence Police Narcotics Bureau for their excellent work this past weekend. I want to personally thank Captain Kevin Lanni and his team for their diligence in getting these weapons and drugs off our City streets.

Over the past many months our Police Officers have faced some very difficult circumstances, and yet they continue to act with professionalism and integrity.

I thank them each for their service to the City and the residents of Providence.
