Every two months, Juni Van Dyke, Director of the Rose Baker Art Program selects two artists from the program to have their works exhibited in the lobby of the Rose Baker Senior Center. For the spring 2017 exhibit, Juni selected two artists with very different styles: Judy Magee and Barbara Jobe.

Judy Magee cannot remember a time when she was not painting or drawing. As a child she began drawing as a way to pass the time and the interest has only grown over the years.

Although she never had formal art training, one of her aunts had a deep appreciation for art and inspired Judy to believe in her talent and pursue her own accomplished versatility and style. In the spring exhibit, you will see the wide rage of subjects that…

Join The Open Door for an evening of food and hospitality at the 17th Annual Empty Bowl Dinner and celebrate a beloved North Shore tradition on Thursday, May 11, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Cruiseport Gloucester.

The meal is simple—soup, bread and a cookie. Guests can choose and keep a special soup bowl created for this community event. The bowl goes home as an unspoken reminder that somewhere someone’s bowl is empty.

Tickets available at the door. $15 for adults and $10 for children under ten. Extra parking is available at Harbor Beach with complimentary trolley service to and from the event site.

Empty Bowl events are held nationally to generate awareness concerning hunger and to raise money for local hunger-relief programs. Proceeds from this event will benefit The Open Door Summer Meals and Mobile Market programs.

A Good Bicyclist Story

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Hi Joey,

As the nice weather approaches so do the bicyclists that enjoying riding around the island.  We’ve all read the stories in the past regarding the difficulties that this can bring to the riders and us drivers along 127.  There are days when driving downtown from Lanesville can be tricky navigating by the cyclists.   We were recently blessed by one of these bicyclists.  Last week my husband had lost his wallet.  Besides the aggravation of replacing the drivers license and credit cards, he also had cash and a couple of great gift cards to two of our local restaurants.  Over the weekend my husband received a call from a Cambridge, MA resident “Desmond” who had found my husband’s wallet in the middle of 127 during a bike ride with his girlfriend.  My husband met up with him this past weekend and got his wallet back with everything in it!  We’re so happy that they came up for that ride around Gloucester!  Honesty and good will, Thank you Desmond!  He told my husband that he wanted him to call his girlfriend and tell her how much he loves Gloucester because he wants her to move up here someday 🙂   Yeah!

A post shared by Schooner Thomas E. Lannon (@schoonerlannon97) on

We are excited to be starting our 21st season sailing out of Seven Sea’s Wharf here n Gloucester on Saturday, May 13th.  On Mother’s Day, Sunday the 14th Mom Sail free with a full fare passenger on our 1:00-3:00 sail.
Also of exciting news, is that the Tall Ships are coming back to Boston in June and we will be right in the middle of all the action! We will be docked at Rowes Wharf in Boston the week of June 17th-22nd operating mostly private charters. Contact our charter coordinator Kiley (kileydavis@schooner.org) if you are interested.  As of right now we only have one public trip scheduled, which is a great one.  Folks can sail down to Boston with us on June 16th and get the chance to see all of the Ships on arrival day.  Tickets for that are just $125/p and more info is available on our website.  We will likely have other public trips but have not finalized that schedule yet.  If people join our VIP list at www.schooner.org we will be sending information about any public trips that way.

You asked – we answered! Lots of folks have wanted to join us onboard for a public sail during the Tall Ships Visit – well, we just added one today.

Join us as on Friday, June 16th, as we head to Boston to participate in the Tall Ship’s 2017 celebration. We will depart from Gloucester at 10am and journey to Boston, arriving around 4:00 p.m. The various Tall Ships will be anchored in Boston Harbor and create an amazing sight for our approach. We will then get up close to as many boats as possible for a closer look.
Don’t miss this once in a lifetime opportunity.
