Hi Joey,

I know how you’re always promoting all things Gloucester, so I thought you’d like to know Neptune’s Harvest is up for Green America’s People and Planet Award!

Here is the link, so you can see what it is all about and if it’s worthy of a shout out on GMG. It’s quite the honor to be selected for this national award. http://www.greenamerica.org/green-business-people-and-planet-award/

If you can post this, that’d be great.

Please let me know if you have any questions, or need anything else. There is also a link on our Neptune’s Harvest Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/neptunesharvest/

Thanks Joe, and I hope all is well,

Ann

Have fun kids.

Hey Joey,

The Open Door Empty Bowl Dinner is right around the corner on Thursday, May 12, from 4 to 8 p.m. at Cruiseport Gloucester. Can you let GMG readers know that they are invited to join us for an evening of food and hospitality?

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

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

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 Summer Meals and Mobile Market programs.

Cheers!

Julie

Whales: An Unforgettable Journey” Tonight

May 2, 2016 ~ Cape Ann TV

“Whales: An Unforgettable Journey” premieres tonight at 8pm on Cape Ann TV Channel 12. Originally shown in IMAX theaters, this 45-minute documentary shows breathtaking close up encounters with whales and dolphins. It’s narrated by Patrick Stewart.

The movie is produced by the Ocean Alliance (the Snotbot people, whose world headquarters are at the old Paint Factory on Rocky Neck.) They were kind enough to give give us permission to show this movie on Cape Ann TV.

Here’s more about the Ocean Alliance and the remarkable work they do: Ocean Alliance collects a broad spectrum of data on whales and ocean life relating particularly to toxicology, behavior, bioacoustics, and genetics. From that data they work with their scientific partners to advise educators and policy makers on wise stewardship of the oceans to: reduce pollution, prevent the collapse of marine mammal populations, maintain human access to fish and other sea life, and promote ocean and human health.

The movie also airs on Tuesday, May, 3 at 7 pm; Wednesday, May 4 at 10 am and 2 pm; Thursday, May 5 at 5am and 6:30pm; Friday, May, 6 at 7:30pm; Saturday, May 7 at 2pm and 10pm; and Sunday, May 8 at 12pm and 11pm.

Is this not what I’ve been preaching for 8 years now on this blog?

Thanks Bex for sharing this
