Hi Joey,
If possible, can you help us get the word out about the 26th Annual Gloucester Pride Stride Walk happening on Sunday April 28, 2013 at Stage Fort Park. More information can be found on our website:
The 26th Annual Gloucester Pride Stride Walk will begin at noon on Sunday April 28, 2013. The 5 mile walk will start and finish at Stagefort Park, while enjoying scenic views of the Boulevard, Rogers Street, State Fish Pier, Main Street & Boulevard. We look forward to your participation on behalf of your favorite Cape Ann Non-Profit. We will collect pledges between 10:00 A.M. – 12:00 P.M. at the Visitor Center. If you are unable to join us on the 28th, you can still collect pledges for your Cape Ann Non-Profit and bring them to Becky Sumner at First Ipswich Bank located in the Walgreens Plaza, or mail them to us. A donation may be mailed to the Gloucester Pride Stride Committee to help defray the costs of the annual walk.
Questions can be sent directly to me at Dennis.Acker@GloucesterPrideStride.com
Thank you for all you do for our community with your website

Volunteers Needed
Gears in our historic Mill Building
Friday April 19th, we’re looking for volunteers to scrape our new (used) floats prior to lowering them into place alongside the Harriet Webster Wharf. This will be on-going during the day; check with us for specifics.
Additionally, we’ll welcome volunteers at mutually agreeable times to prime/paint new windows to replace the green painted plywood currently covering the window frames on the Mill Building.
Get a good feeling doing some good work!
If you’re able to help, please give Tom Balf a call at 978-281-0470 or email him at tbalf@maritimegloucester.org.

From Alan Davis whose Dogtown Project got destroyed by vandals and forwarded by Jason Grow
Hello Jason,
Thank you for your offer of assistance with repairing the vandalized Digital Dogtown posts. I have been carefully planning, in consultation with experts, the best approach to repairing my project and to funding these repairs. I have received some offers of donated materials and labor, but I know that there will be significant costs to replacing the damaged posts. I met this evening with the Gloucester Open Space and Recreation Commission to finalize a plan of action with their approval. We will be ready to put these plans into action as soon as we have sufficient funds.
I have made arrangements to use the Gloucester Fund as the agency for collecting and using financial donations. The Gloucester Fund is a volunteer organization for collecting and disbursing funds for local charities and projects of benefit to the community, such as the summer fireworks and parades. They are a 501c organization, so donations made out to them are tax deductible; your cancelled check will serve as your receipt for tax purposes. If you are interested in helping in this way, please send a check made out to "The Gloucester Fund", with a note on the memo line that this check is for "Digital Dogtown". These can be mailed or delivered to me, Alan Davis, at 2 Goodwin Road, Gloucester, MA 01930. Feel free to pass this email message to anyone you know who might also be interested in assisting.
Again, thank you. I’m looking forward to working together with the community to get the Digital Dogtown posts back up to help visitors safely enjoy and learn about this historic wilderness area.
Alan Davis,
Eagle Scout, Troop 112, Gloucester
