Yum.

Posted on by Nichole S.

I met a co-worker who has been gone on maternity leave this school year for a bite to eat and a couple of drinks last night at the Seaport Grille.  As always, it did not disappoint.

We both started with a “West End” which tasted maybe even better than it looks…if that’s possible.

We shared some oysters that totally hit the spot!  For dinner, she ordered the Scallop and Bacon Pizzetta and I had one of my all-time favorites….the Eggplant Panini with sweet potato fries. Everything was delicious!

While school vacation week is all about the kids…I am a huge fan of carving out some “me time” and a long talk at the bar with a good friend was exactly what I needed last night.

Hello Joey C.,

I am a follower of Good Morning Gloucester and live in Magnolia on the weekends and in the summer. I am trying to gain as many signatures I can on the petition below so that I can have the surgery that I desperately need on my neck. Is there any was you could sign this and help me spread the word? I would love to have over 2 hundred signatures by tomorrow when I present it to BCBS of MA.

Thank you,

Cheryl

The Sarah Lufkin Memorial Scholarship Fund is named in honor of Sarah Lufkin, who passed away from complications of leukemia in April, 1997. Friends of the family set up a scholarship fund to help Essex students who are going to college and studying in a field that benefits children. Sarah was a Dean’s List student studying Early Childhood Education at Salem State College when she was diagnosed with cancer.

The Lufkin family, in conjunction with Periwinkle’s Restaurant in Essex, is hosting a fabulous, fun evening to benefit the scholarship fund, on March 5 at the restaurant at 74 Main Street, Route 133. The evening, from 6:00pm to 10:00pm, will include hors d’ouevres, a silent auction, raffle and live music provided by local musician, Joe Militello. Tickets are $25.00 per person and will be available at the door on the night of the event.

The Lufkin family is proud to announce that to honor George Lufkin, Sarah’s father who sadly passed away in 2014, the student award will be increased this year. Many people donated to the fund upon George’s passing and the family is pleased to have another child advocate benefit from their generosity.

The Scholarship Committee is always looking for donations of food from local restaurants and catering companies and donations of items for the silent auction and raffle. If you would like to donate, please get in touch with Sue Lufkin at 978-768-7122, Laura Lufkin at 978-985-6532 or Kim Lufkin Williams at 978-853-0845.
