The RPE is an association of parents with new and pre-school age children that was formed to bring this small community even closer. It has evolved into an organization of over 125 families who reside in Rowayton and the surrounding communities of greater Norwalk and Darien. The RPE is entirely member-funded. Each month it hosts events that appeal to children, Moms, Dads, families and couples. So, whether your job is staying at home with your children or working in an office…there’s something for everyone. Being a member of RPE is a wonderful opportunity to meet people, get involved in the community and have fun!

For information or to join, call Wendy Maciulewicz at (203) 642-4684 or email her at wmaciulewicz@hotmail.com.
