Gloucester Police Department Participating in Operation Safe Watch for Seniors and Others Who May Wander

Posted on November 2, 2023November 2, 2023 by Joey Ciaramitaro

Chief Edward Conley is pleased to announce that the Gloucester Police Department is taking part in Operation Safe Watch in an effort to better serve seniors and others who may be prone to wandering, and an informational meeting has been scheduled to help explain the program.

WHEN:

Saturday, Nov. 4, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

WHERE:

SeniorCare Inc., 49 Blackburn Center, Gloucester, MA 01930

WHAT:

In partnership with SeniorCare Inc. and the Gloucester Council on Aging, Gloucester Police offers Operation Safe Watch, which will collect critical information that is needed by first responders as they respond to reports of missing people.

Anyone with loved ones at risk from conditions such as dementia, Autism, or other conditions, can register and provide police with information that will help locate a loved one in the event of an emergency.

Information that is collected, which includes things like sensory issues, habits and favorite places, will be saved by the police department for quick reference in the event of an emergency.

On Saturday morning, Gloucester Police and staff from SeniorCare Inc. and the Rose Baker Senior Center will join together to explain the program to interested community members, and to assist those community members with filling out intake forms. Interested residents are encouraged to bring a photograph of their loved one.

“This program will give our officers an immediate advantage should we have to initiate a search for a participant,” said Chief Conley. “I encourage anyone in the community who has a loved one at risk of wandering to sign up. Time is often of the essence when searching for missing individuals.”

The Gloucester Meetinghouse

Posted on November 2, 2023 by Donna Ardizzoni

A CELEBRATION OF GLOUCESTER’S 400TH ANNIVERSARY, NOVEMBER 18TH AT 2:00PM IN THE HISTORIC
MEETINGHOUSE, CORNER OF MIDDLE AND CHURCH STREETS (GPS, #50 MIDDLE ST.)
‘REFUSING TO PAY,’ GLOUCESTER’S ROLE BUILDING RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN AMERICA
This three-part program was created for Gloucester’s 400ᵗʰ Anniversary Celebration to share the story of
how Rev. John Murray and his Gloucester followers influenced the separation of church and state, the
promise of religious liberty in the First Amendment.
The first segment is a video that tells the story about how in 1782 Murray’s followers refused to pay
Gloucester taxes to support the town church system. Their possessions were seized and they sued to get
them back. It took three years, but they eventually won, setting a key precedent. The Massachusetts
Supreme Judicial Court ruled that “a free populace cannot be taxed to support a state church.”
In the second segment Rev. Murray magically returns to share what happened in Gloucester, details
about the famous court case, and a second court case that led to Massachusetts legally recognizing the
independence of diverse churches and synagogues.
The third segment features a panel discussion including Q&A with the audience about why this story
matters so much in present-day America with often caustic civic discourse and religion in the center of
political culture wars.
A reception with light refreshments will follow at the Sargent House Museum, a short walk down Middle
Street (#49.)
This event is free and open to the public. It will also be live-streamed by Studio 1623 on the local
channel 6 and will be available later on YouTube.
It was jointly produced by the Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation, the Gloucester Unitarian
Universalist Church and the Sargent House Museum. For more information please visit:

Happy Humpback November News

Posted on November 2, 2023November 1, 2023 by Donna Ardizzoni

Reblogged from Happy Humpback Newsletter

Greetings!
We have a lot going on this November! We will be having a food drive for the Open Door ahead of Thanksgiving as well as new menu items! Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok to make sure you don’t miss out on any news or promos in real time! Here are some of the highlights to look out for!

Happy Humpback Food Drive

With Thanksgiving and winter holidays on the horizon, we’re going to hold a food drive to support the mission of The Open Door, the area’s leading hunger-relief organization.
Our food collection site will benefit people right here in our community.
Last year, The Open Door distributed 1.78 MILLION pounds of food—that’s
1.48 MILLION meals—to 8,486 people.

We are looking to raise 200 lbs of food this drive. To help us reach our goal, we are also having a competition amongst our Happy Humpback team to see who can raise the most food! But to make sure we reach our goal and help out as many people as possible, we are asking for your help donating food.

The Open Door’s most-needed items are canned chicken and tuna, peanut butter, healthy snacks, 100% juice/juice boxes, breakfast cereal, hearty soups, and canned fruits and veggies. They are requesting no glass containers or packaging for these items.

The Open Door serves people in Gloucester, Rockport, Manchester, Essex, Ipswich, Topsfield, Rowley, Boxford, Hamilton and Wenham, with mobile sites in Danvers in Lynn. Thousands of local people rely on their programs to help make ends meet. This holiday season, you can help The Open Door serve our neighbors by dropping off a bag of food into our collection bin at our cafe. You can drop off food any time during our normal business hours, 6am through 2pm, Wednesday through Sunday from November 1st though November 20th.

To find out more about Open Door’s mission and the many wrap-around nutrition programs they provide, visit FOODPANTRY.org.

Snowport Returns to Boston’s Seaport

Posted on November 2, 2023November 2, 2023 by Nichole S.

I’m kind of excited about Snowport returning to Boston’s Seaport. 140 vendors, beverages, activities, and the city’s tallest tree (that’s a big promise). It’s such a fun way to spend a winter evening. “Hold on to your handwarmers — we shook Seaport up in a giant snow globe and transformed the neighborhood into a magical winter getaway. Find gifts, treats, and plenty of surprises in this one-stop wonderland you can enjoy all season”

New Style Night Lights Just in Time For The Holidays

Posted on November 2, 2023October 27, 2023 by Pat D

Pat D’s Photos is excited to present a new item available just in time for the holidays. These night lights are a little different from my previous ones (which are no longer available) and I hope you will like them. They have a sensor so they light up when darkness is sensed. They are about 3″ in diameter, flat plastic images ready to use. I am offering them at a discounted price until our fall shows begin on Nov 11 at the Gloucester Fraternity Club to support Cape Ann Timebank and Special Needs Dances (at which time the price will be $25). Hope to see you then. Message me or comment here with questions. As always, free local delivery to Cape Ann area. Great gift idea and remember we also have 2024 calendars, holiday card packs and ornaments!
