Hi Joey;

Thank you for sharing this!  I have been painting forever, but really have delved in deep the past 2 years…  I teach at the Hive, and that has been a great inspiration as well 🙂

The show is next Thursday, 12/15, 6-9 in the Falcon’s Nest Gallery at the HIVE, 11 Pleasant St.  There will be the expected beverages and light snacks…

We’ll be hanging everything 12/13 Tuesday 3:30 – 6 or until it’s done.

I really appreciate this Joe…

Who knew I’d move to Gloucester & end up liking these old rusty boats so much?

Traci

Joey!

December 7, 2016 ~ chambercacc ~

The Cape Ann Chamber has launched a regional “Shop Cape Ann for the Holidays” promotion. There is no charge to participate, and all retailers are invited to join. The basic idea is to continually inform and remind both the local Cape Ann region, and our neighboring communities, to shop local this season, through the frequent posting of short Facebook videos, and to get you all to like and share the videos.

Please visit the Chamber’s Facebook Page to view the retailer videos we’ve posted to far.

Retailers can create their own videos using a smart phone and send them our way. If you create your own, please send your video via Dropbox.com to marketing@capeannchamber.com. If you’d like our help, give us a call at 978-283-1601.

We will post as many videos as we receive and tag your page with your video post, We ask that you all like and share all videos so that we maximize our reach and the Shop Cape Ann message.

GAAC Holiday Party Friday 12/9

December 7, 2016 ~ Michael Deneen ~

At our annual Gloucester Area Astronomy Club Holiday Party, Friday December 9, 8:00 pm at the Lanesville Community Center, we’re lucky enough to have Dr. Mario Motta with a presentation on his latest astronomy science project, an investigation of a white dwarf star (WD 1145+017) in Virgo that is orbited by the remains of a disintegrating small planet or asteroid.

The star seems to be tearing apart a small planet, leaving multiple small planetesimals and cometary trails in its wake. The story of the destruction of an actual planet is going to lead to a really interesting evening.

Mario’s been following and charting the disintegration, and is going to share his process and results with us on the 9th. It’s always fun to hear speakers who can report first-hand on actual astronomical events, and our December 2016 holiday party will be one of those rare nights.

Join us!

The Gloucester Area Astronomy Club meets on the second Friday of the month at 8:00pm at the Lanesville Community Center, 8 Vulcan Street, Lanesville. There are no dues or fees, and all are welcome. Find out more about GAAC at http://gaac.us, on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/GAACpage, or on Twitter, @GAACster.

Some vendors include; Tom Tens Beesworks, Bare Cheek Beauty, Grant Farms, Pa’s Pickles and more!  All products are created on Cape Ann.  Donna plans to open tomorrow, December 8th, and stay open through the weekend. The stores hours will be the same every weekend up until Christmas. 
We would be grateful if you could give us a little plug! Let me know if you need anymore information.
Thank you in advance!
Haley Allison

If you’re like my former self you’d wait til Christmas Eve to figure out that you’ve got a buttload of toys for your kids that require batteries and you’d run to CVS or Stop and Shop and get crucified on the price of batteries.  I’ve tried the rechargeable route but inevitably the kids toss them out and you have to have the charger plugged in and you can never find them when you need them.

But no longer.  Because with a little bit of research you see these AC Delco batteries are the best value by a mile.

From a research chart you see that the AC Delcos crushed the competition in value.

Here’s the links to purchase them on Amazon-

Buy 48 AAA on Amazon for just $9.50 

Also 100 AA on amazon for $17.79

Straight fire baby!

To get your Free New GMG Logo Sticker-

As long as supplies last if any GMG folks want a bumper sticker but can’t drop down the dock, just send a self addressed and stamped envelope longer then 7 and a half inches and I’ll drop one in the mail for you.
Send the self addressed and stamped envelope to the dock at 95 East Main St Gloucester Ma 01930 care of Joey (put my name in big letters to make sure it gets to me) .

Thanks to Chuck Shewbridge for producing our stickas!
