'Smart Money Tour' Starts in Barrington

RI General Treasurer Gina Raimondo launched in Barrington recently the start of her Smart Money Tour to increase awareness about the ways Treasury can help people find and save money.

As part of this tour, Treasury has been setting up booths at local farmers markets and senior centers to help people find their unclaimed property and raise awareness about the importance of personal financial management. 

The Haines State Memorial Park farmers market on Wednesdays was the first stop on this tour.

 “My office is always looking for innovative ways to reach Rhode Islanders,” Raimondo said. “By offering convenient opportunities for people to start the unclaimed property process and answer their personal financial questions, we are moving our entire state forward, one person at a time.”                                                                                                

The Treasurer also stopped by the Bayside YMCA to take a look at the renovations made to the facility with Executive Director Joe Martino. 

The renovations include a new 6-lane swimming pool with an adjacent 2-lane family pool, a babysitting center, a new welcome desk and lounge, a new front door and new locker rooms.
