Women In Action Celebrate 4 Years and $200,000  to curb childhood obesity on the North Shore

United Way on the North Shore will celebrate 4 years of the Women in Action initiative this month at the organization’s annual “Summer Soiree” fundraising event at the Chowder House at Tuck’s Point in Manchester on July 30, 2015 from 6-8 pm. 

Thanks to the support of many generous North Shore donors, over the past 4 years the community has raised $200,000 of which 100% was directed to programs that provide nutrition education, healthy food, and physical activity for thousands of local children and their families. This year at the Soiree, United Way will announce $63,000 in support for ten innovative, grassroots programs at local nonprofits. The programs target supportive, healthy nutrition and physical activity to children from some of the lowest-income families in our region, increasing the families’ ability to both put food on the table while ensuring that food is healthy and family time is active.

Guests of the Summer Soiree will enjoy wine, hors d’oeuvres by Relish Catering, a visit by the Ipswich Ale Tapmobile, and a silent auction with all proceeds to benefit the Women in Action mission. 

Sponsors include Coastal Capital, Beverly Hospital, East Coast Asset Management, Johnson O’Connor Feron & Carucci, Lynnette & Jerry Fallon, Peter Tarr & Gail Nelson, and Chris & Larry Carsman.

I am writing about the Annisquam SeaFair on Saturday July 25.

It is the 169th annual fair, held in the village center.

I am attaching the poster which should start showing up in various places.

Would it be possible to get some publicity in Good Morning Gloucester?  Best weekend choice??

One particularly noteworthy event is the Waxworks.  A tableau theater event happening on the hour which has been a hit for over 50 years.

I look forward to hearing from you.
