WOONSOCKET, R.I. –

Editor’s Note: The United Way of Rhode Island and NBC 10 have awarded the Jefferson Awards for Public Service to three Southern New Englanders whose volunteer work goes largely unnoticed by the general public.

Eighteen-year-old Adam Brunetti is already making his mark by using his love of music and drama to raise funds and awareness for a cause close to his heart: autism.

“Then kids will have a much easier time in school — a lot different from my experience,” Adam said.Click here for more.

This Rhode Island city sparkles with surprises, including culinary treats, fascinating history and bonfires on the water.

Sundown was an hour away, but already it was hard to find a place on the grassy knoll above the river. Middle-aged couples, parents maneuvering strollers down a wide stairway, young lovers and teens traveling in packs staked out their ground and waited for the summer’s biggest event to begin.

Fireworks? In a fashion.

FALL RIVER —

The spring vacation couldn’t have come at a better time.

It came as Podbelski expanded from his daily duties of teaching special education classes and advising the school’s fencing club and now volunteering as an occasional assistant coach for the varsity baseball team.
