Old Sloop Coffeehouse

Hi Joey,
I enjoy reading your blog.  Thank you for this service to the community!
I help to run Old Sloop Coffeehouse at the First Congregational Church of Rockport.  We have two concerts this Saturday, December 10, that I thought might warrant a mention.
At 10:30 AM, there will be a children’s concert featuring Debbie and Friends.  Debbie and Friends contributed a song to an anti-bullying CD that was just nominated for a Grammy.  "Debbie" is former West Parish Elementary School teacher Debbie Cavalier, now Dean of Continuing Education at Berklee College of Music.  Also in the band is Gloucester resident Rory McKenzie on bass.
At 7:30 PM, there will be a second concert featuring Carolann Solebello, best know as a founding member of female trio Red Molly, who are local favorites.  Carolann will appear on Live at Noon on WUMB radio with Dave Palmater Friday, December 9.
Thank you!
Geof Lyon, for Old Sloop Coffeehouse

Safe Steps for Seniors – new community exercise program at Addison Gilbert Hospital

The Center for Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine at Addison Gilbert Hospital, 298 Washington Street, Gloucester is providing a new community exercise program for those aged over 60 with fear of falling and balance difficulty. 

The benefits of this new dynamic group exercise program will aid in fall risk reduction, increased balance, confidence in mobility and ability to be independently active participants in the local community.

All participants will be required to undergo a free 30-minute individual pre- and post-screening for balance and fall risk.

The fee is $3. per class which is due at the beginning of the class which are held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 11 a.m. to 12 Noon.  Space is limited.   Space availability is determined on a first-come, first-served basis.
