Redmen Hall was lined with more than 20 interpretations of a colorful snowman. Not only were the artists busy creating a winter scene, they were also there to support Alzheimer’s research.

The paint night helps the Great Council of the United States Improved Order of Red Men to donate to their national charity, the Alzheimer’s Association. According to manager and co-chair Richard Souza, the Red Men are the second largest donor to the Alzheimer’s Association.

“It’s all about fundraisers and having fun,” said Souza.

Souza mentioned that the group established the idea of a paint night months ago when middle schoolers and Parent-Teacher Organization members used the hall to host a similar event. He said approximately 25 people were in attendance at the paint night, bringing in anywhere from $600 to $700 for the charity.

The Instructor, Robyn Iarrobino from Blue Anchor Studios, led the group in recreating her own personal painting of a snowman.

“There is no experience necessary,” said Iarrobino. “I always say that if you can draw a circle, square and triangle, you can do anything.”

Iarrobino, who is a teacher at Hunakai Studio in Foxborough, has been teaching at paint parties for a year and was optimistic about the turnout.

Sisters Tammy and Tara Zine attended the event because they wanted to enjoy some family bonding time.

“I want to see if I can paint,” said Tara Zine laughing, “Maybe I have some artistic ability that I don't know about.”

Marlane Gromelski, the National Wenonah Pocahontas of Massachusetts, as well as her husband Anthony, the Great Incohonee, are the first couple to be inducted into positions together and will be presenting the fundraised money to the National Convention that occurs every two years. This year, the convention will be held in Mansfield from September 24-30.

“It’s great that the Red Men of Wareham are supporting myself and my husband,” said Gromelski. “All of the money goes towards research. We’ve all been affected by Alzheimer’s through our family members.”

The Red Men tribes are located all over the United States and have raised close to $3 million for Alzheimer’s research in the past 10 years.

“We have members in 19 states and the highest honor you can receive is becoming a Pocahontas,” said Co-chairman of the National Convention Patti Zimmerman.

In regard to the mini-fundraisers that the club participates in, Zimmerman said, “It all adds up.”
