Rock A Thon! YMCA Teen Leaders Goal!

Posted on January 12, 2018 by Joey Ciaramitaro

Hi Joey –

Hope all is well with you and the family.

Hoping you’ll please post on GMG about our 21st annual YMCA TEEN LEADERS ROCKATHON TO FEED CAPE ANN is coming up this weekend.

As you well-know, last year the teens collected and distributed more than 10,000 non-perishable food items and got to dye my hair and beard blue.

This year’s Challenge Goal is 12,000…and if they succeed, they’ll get to shave my head bald; they are more than excited for that opportunity.

Thank you my friend!

Mayoral Memo: Snow Emergency Updates & Flood Assistance Exploration

Posted on January 9, 2018 by Joey Ciaramitaro

1/8/2018 – Last week’s snowstorm and accompanying storm surge was an unfortunate act of nature that resulted in widespread damage throughout Gloucester. This City, like others, requires that residents remove their cars from public streets prior to any storm or snow emergency for safety reasons.

For decades, recognizing that many residents do not have private off street parking, the City has offered off-street parking on public property much like we did last week at Gloucester High School. These offers were strictly optional and residents were free to make other arrangements.

Having said that, my administration recognizes that many are in need of assistance as a result of the damage caused by last week’s storm—specifically those who lost their cars due to the flooding of the High School parking lot. As a result, we will be taking the following actions:

• We have contacted the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency and are working with…

Make a wish… @saltwatermassagestudio

Posted on January 8, 2018 by Joey Ciaramitaro

Last year on this date, I stood by a bonfire in a field in Maine, made a wish and wrote "The Future of Saltwater" on a piece of paper and released it into the fire, making the choice to let go of worry. Two months later, we knocked through this wall and built an addition. Grace became full time. Amanda became full time that summer. Annie came along. Jemma came along. Jen came along. Katie came along. Heather, Justin and I continued on business as usual. And we met more of your faces than we ever would have if things had just stayed the same. What's your wish this year? Let's make some magic! ✨
