Gun violence affects individuals, families and friends. But it also affects entire communities. Help us show that as a community we are willing to stand up against gun violence.
Origami cranes are a symbol of hope and healing. Each crane is a prayer, a thought, a remembrance. Every crane folded is an action.
Orange is the color of National Gun Violence Awareness Day. Read about it at wearorange.org. We are making orange cranes to remember victims of gun violence.
We will be collecting cranes to have with us at City Hall in Gloucester on Friday, June 2 at 10:00 for a National Gun Violence Awareness Ceremony.
Cranes can be left at the Eastern Point Lit House on Main Street, Celiaās Flower Studio in Lanesville, Coveted Yarn and the Universalist Unitarian Church or delivered to Amanda Cook or brought to City Hall on June 2.
We will be having a ceremonyā¦

RED MULCH IS HIDDEOUSā GET THE DARK BROWN MULCH, ITāS 1000% MORE CLASSY LOOKING
Posted on June 19, 2013
Someone needs to clue me in on how you could go to the landscape supply joint and make the conscious decision to buy orange mulch over the nice dark brown (almost black) compost mulch. Iāll go dark brown mulch all day long over toxic waste neon orange mulch. Itās just way more aesthetically pleasing. I donāt know a whole lot about landscape supply costs. Maybe they pay people who opt for the neon orange mulch to take it away from their landscape supply yard. I canāt think of a single other reason someone would choose it over the classy dark brown. They actually dye it that hideous orange color. You gotta be a savage to get the orange stuff, no? What am I missing here?

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States.Ā More than 3.3 million people are diagnosed annually. Fortunately, skin cancer is one of the most preventable forms of cancer.
Unfortunately, skin cancer is increasing in the United States and the American Cancer Society estimates that one American dies every hour from skin cancer. Ā The risk increases the more time we spend outdoors in the sun.

10,000 people turn 65 in the US every day.Ā That trend is going to continue for the next 20 years.Ā Our demographics are shifting, and we will soon have more elder people in the US than ever before.Ā At the same time that the population is growing, we know that a startling number of elders face abusive situations.Ā Every year an estimated 5 million, or 1 in 10, older Americans are victims of elder abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
