Panic Shopping Leftovers
Just took a stroll through Stop and Shop to see what’s left. Your kids are going to love it! Seriously it seemed there are enough staples left if you still need to shop. You just may not get your preferred brand or size. Plenty of checkouts open.

Manchester Historical Museum Art Show Updat
From Beth Welin, Director of the Manchester Historical Museum
We will extend the art show for at least a week depending on how long most places are shut down. We’ll post a new closing reception date in a week or so. No one will come in next week (as we’ve seen yesterday and today), and we want to give you all the best chances for folks to see and buy your work. If you need to take your art as originally planned, feel free to do so. There’s no problem on our end to let the show stay up until mid April. I’ll send a new poster announcing the closing reception in a week or so when we’ve decided on the new date.

Talk of the Times: St. Joseph Novena moving from Legion to Facebook
“With great sadness, Felicia Ciaramitaro Mohan announced that the public St. Joseph’s Novena and re-enactment scheduled for March 19 at the Capt. Lester S. Wass Post 3 of the American Legion has been canceled due to coronavirus concerns that are now sweeping through Cape Ann.
“We canceled everything Wednesday night after the rosary,” said Mohan. “I sent all my novena girls a message that everything was being canceled. We are devastated. Lots of tears have been shed, not only from me but all my ‘cumnares’.”
On Thursday, Mohan and novena participants did a livestream of the saying of the rosary in front of the altar at the Legion before they started the laborious process of taking it down on Friday.
“We began taking off all the breads and saints and decorations,” said Mohan.

from Gloucester Meeting House Foundation
With deep regret but for the good of the community the Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation is postponing the March 21st Bach Birthday Concert.
The Mayor has asked that all public gatherings of over 25 people in close proximity be avoided due to the potential transmission of the coronavirus.
We are also postponing the April 19th event called The Endurance of Hope. This will be a narrated concert in commemoration of the Holocaust
presented in collaboration with Temple Ahavat Achim.
Please note that both will be held at a later date when it is again safe for large indoor events. We trust that will be in the not too distant future
and will keep you posted. All advance ticket purchases will be honored.
On a happier note, the 5th season of our outdoor summer series Music on Meetinghouse Green is ready to roll. The opening concert will be on July 10th
featuring the Berklee ensemble BeBop Guitars, with donations in support of Pathways for Children and food available from the Causeway. The festival will
run nine Friday evenings, starting at 6:00pm.
Please feel free to share this announcement as needed.
Sincerely,
Charles Nazarian, president

Coroneconomy – some local shopping sales bump
Is your supermarket busy? Here’s the Stop & Shop crush 6pm yesterday with lines for cashiers and self-checkout wrapped all around.
The essentials – one shopper’s cart last night -ice cream and water!
Not just UK apparently- here’s the toilet paper aisle at BJ’s today. Courtesy photo with note- “The shelves are empty here. The economy will be fine.”
Beyond health and safety conversations with family and friends, at this early week mark, I’m seeing discussions about which industries may be impacted disastrously or pick up. Ditto public services: public meetings will be postponed, but could roadwork ramp up as more people stay home and off the road? One friend canceled a party this weekend, signing off with some black humor – stay healthy and send suggestions for staying cooped up with kids. Another friend sparked a debate about sending students home from college (many untested):
“We are missing a huge opportunity as a Nation. Given that we have barely conducted 6000 tests in two weeks, when compared to South Korea which conducts 20,000 test A DAY! We clearly need to ramp up! Our college kids are healthy, pretty indestructible, and well educated. They could run tests, assist in research, help out in medical settings, even help in transforming hotels or other spaces into medical ready facilities. But we are sending them home, to sit on couches and play video games. Why?” – Linda
Responses back ranged from the difficulties of such close quarters in dorms to alternative approaches in the works (like the Univ. of Washington appealing to grad students to do just that, and Colgate keeping kids on campus).
Healthy wishes to all and feeling grateful for the work that will be undertaken by so many–and at risk– to keep us safe.
