Saturday Evening Girls Talk at the Cape Ann Museum
May 17, 2016 ~ Cape Ann Museum
Progress and Opportunity in the Early 1900s
Saturday, May 21 at 2:00 p.m.
An illustrated lecture presented by Dr. Dorothy E. King
The Saturday Evening Girls (S.E.G.) was a progressive social club organized in Boston in 1899 to assimilate young immigrant women into American culture. The “girls” who took part in the group met on Saturday evenings and were introduced to literature, art and history. They were also given the opportunity to develop craft and business skills at the Paul Revere Pottery in North Boston. The bowl shown here is one such example of the skilled craftsmanship that came out of this social experiment. S.E.G. pottery is now very valuable and highly sought after. The S.E.G. is connected to Cape Ann through a summer camp that was built for the girls’ use at Wingaersheek Beach in West Gloucester in 1906.
Dr. King, Assistant Professor of Sociology at Penn State Harrisburg will be joined by Joanne Riley, archivist at UMASS Boston and Roz Kramer, daughter of pioneer Saturday Evening Girls (SEG) researcher Barbara Kramer for the lecture.

ATTENTION ALL INTERNATIONAL DORY RACING FUNDRAISER
Attention All!
The Gloucester International Dory Racing Committee will be hosting a fundraiser at the St. Peter’s Club Friday, May 20th at 6 pm. All are welcome to attend for a fun night of games, drinks, apps, music, dancing, and lots of cool items for raffles! Proceeds from the event will go towards the expansion of our program and offerings to the community which will allow our members to continue promoting maritime heritage, friendly competition, and fun. Not many people in our community are familiar with the history of Dory’s and how much importance they hold in the start of our fishing industry. Our goal is to educate people more about this cause and possibly even recruit new members to try a sport that represents the meaning of their hometown. So come join us for a fun night and help keep this tradition going strong! Tickets will be sold prior to the event for $10 or can be purchased at the door. For any questions about the fundraiser, to purchase tickets, or if you’d like to make donations for raffles please contact the following members. Hope to see a lot of you there!
