They work very efficiently and had it down to very short lines. The bake sale had lots of yummy treats.  Don’t forget to support your voting station’s bake sale! 

The Gloucester Education Foundation held its 10th Birthday Gala Friday evening at the Beauport Hotel.  The event raised funds for the music room at the O’Maley Innovation Middle School and brought out 250 local residents to celebrate with GEF.  Ove the past ten years, GEF has raised more than $5 million to benefit the GLoucester Public Schools and has brought more than 100 new programs to the schools for children of all ages.

Cape Ann YMCA’s 8^th Annual Taste of Cape Ann is NEXT THURSDAY

The most delicious fundraiser of the year is nearly here – it’s time to get your event ticket. Last year’s event included nearly three dozen food and beverage purveyors and nearly 300 guests!

The Cape Ann YMCA’s 8th Annual “Taste of Cape Ann” returns to Cruiseport Gloucester  on Thursday, November 10, from 6-9PM. The event features the best of Cape Ann eateries offering food, wine and spirits for one $25 ticket price with the proceeds of ticket sales going to support Cape Ann YMCA Teen Service Initiatives. 

The service trips enable local youth to spend a week working in communities hit by environmental and economic devastation.  Teens participate in learning modules before and after traveling on school break to offer hands-on aid in areas of great need.  The New Orleans Mission, now in its 6^th year, originated as a Cape Ann trip but has generated enough interest to cause its expansion to include youth throughout the North Shore YMCA system.

Taste of Cape Ann is:

A great place for locals to sample food and drink from their Cape Ann food choices

A great reason to get out and support kids doing good.

John Jerome will be keeping us chill with some great live music while Gloucester’s best eateries will be keeping us full and happy.

Restaurants participating so far:

The list ROCKS this year.  Join us on November 10th from 6-9 and samples sweet and savory treats from these great spots and others still rolling in. So many NEW fun places, plus goods from some Foodie Businesses. Be sure to SHARE…

Gloucester Area Astronomy Club Program Note for Friday Nov 11

November 5, 2016 ~ Michael Deneen ~

This Friday evening, November 11 at 8:00 pm, GAAC is thrilled to have an old friend, UNH’s John Gianforte, whom some of you may remember from a series of talks earlier this year at the Sawyer Free Library, or from his previous GAAC talks.

If prior experience is any guide, John will hold us all spellbound with a brand-new presentation he uses in his Engineering classes as well as in his Astronomy classes at UNH.

The talk is titled “Is Astronomy Really Relevant?” and along with some general astronomy, John will address some topics that illustrate why it makes sense for humans to know at least a little bit about astronomy, where the field is going and where it is today. All in all this looks like a perfect presentation for a cool November evening.

Come on in for a great night with seasonal goodies and old friends, great entertainment and great conversation. You’ll leave knowing something you don’t know now, and after the meeting you may get a telescopic close-up look at the not-quite-full moon to boot. You can decide for yourself whether or not it’s Super.

GAAC meets at 8:00pm on the second Friday of the month at the Lanesville Community Center, 8 Vulcan St in Lanesville. There is plenty of free parking, no dues or fees, and all are welcome. No special knowledge is required to have a great time. For more info on the club, see the website at http://gaac.us, the club’s Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/GAACpage, or follow us on Twitter, @GAACster.

The concerts will feature a choral performance of Canadian-American composer Roman Hurko’s Liturgy No. 3, an English setting of the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, as well as a beautiful sung Compline Night Prayer for the Feast of St. Cecilia. All net proceeds will be used to provide food, shelter, and medical assistance to IDPs and Christian refugees through the Knights of Columbus Christian Refugee Relief Fund, under the auspices of St. Monica and St. Lucy Parishes and the Knights of Columbus Council 14725. The concerts will be presented on Friday, November 18 at 7:00 pm at St. Mary Star of the Sea Catholic Church in Beverly, MA, on Sunday, November 20 at 5:30 pm at St. Monica Catholic Church in Methuen, MA, and on Tuesday, November 22 at 7:00 pm at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Nashua, NH.
