What a fabulous day! Loved starting it with a Mug-up and meeting so many great people, followed by some time at the beach.
Good morning Joey! I am a FOB and read it daily. I Hope I have included necessary information. I made sure I was the only one sending it.
I am planning to go on a mission trip next year to Africa and will be bringing GMG stickers to represent!
Would you please help us share this information?
Thank you! Christine Travers

Saw the 8 marvelous quilts hanging in the Sawyer Free Library… each representing the special ethos and heritage of a Gloucester neighborhood. My photos do not do justice, but all 8 quilts are really delightful! As one who loves to walk Gloucester, they are really a treat and so representative of community pride.

Joe,
Drop started today – Wednesday and Shopping begins Friday!
Joey,
The Burnham’s Field Community Garden was a hive of activity over the weekend. The gardeners held our fall clean-up, pulling weeds, trimming back overgrown plants and making the place look shipshape. Hard to believe the Garden’s been around two summers now. Thanks to all the gardeners – and our friend Donna Ardizzoni of the One Hour at a Time Gang – for rolling up their sleeves and pitching in. The Garden looks great.

Hi Joey,
This might me the most random email you’ll ever get…but I had to send it regardless. My fiance and I are planning engagement pictures in Gloucester (like…very soon. this week, soon! eek), where we’re also getting married. Your Flickr pictures are amazing, and you’ve already given me awesome ideas from that….but I was just wondering if you knew of any different spots that only a person who knows Gloucester as well as you do would know of? We’re trying to stay away from super beachy engagement pictures….I love the old fisherman boats and we’ll probably take pictures down town, too. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Michelle

Hi Joey,
The ties to Gloucester for the Bluenose II are strong and historic. We’d appreciate it if you could post the relaunch of the Bluenose II live relaunch webcam in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. As you probably know, the relaunch will be next Saturday morning ~7:00 EST (8:00 in NS).
The link to the live relaunch webcam is http://www.novascotiawebcams.com/south-shore/bluenose-ii-eventcam.html though it is not live yet.
The link to the Bluenose II current view is http://www.novascotiawebcams.com/south-shore/bluenose-ii.html
Thanks so much, Margaret Jeddry

Lunenburg Shipyard, Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada
Info:
Nova Scotia’s famous sailing ambassador is undergoing a major rebuild during 2011 & 2012 to ensure its legacy for many years to come. The project is taking place at the Lunenburg Shipyard, site of the construction of Bluenose in 1921. The public is invited to see and learn about preserving this important piece of Nova Scotia’s heritage. The work is being carried out by the Lunenburg Shipyard Alliance consisting of Snyder’s Shipyard, Covey Island Boatworks & Lunenburg Industrial Foundry & Engineering. Come visit the site until the re-launch this summer and see Nova Scotia boat-building at its best.

Joey C confession- While I admire the spunk of the Sea Shanty crazies they drive me up a wall when they fire up in the middle of a bar and all thoughts of holding a conversation are out the window. I’m also fairly certain that when the boys were out fishing the Grand Banks they weren’t strumming any ukuleles.
Enjoying the local book stores today, we found that Toad Hall was hosting the Cape Ann Vernal Pond Team. Our daughter from Chicago is visiting us (yippee!) and here she is with the nice ladies and their snakes. Very informative and fun!
Hi Joey…Got this shot of Good Harbor Thursday afternoon as the sun was setting astern of my boat.

I am excited to share with you a new list of Friends of Seacoast members and the outpouring support from leadership at Northeast Health Systems (NHS) as well as my visit to Seacoast today. Please click on the attachment and print our membership for your files.
I visited Seacoast to thank Millie Gentile a long time family friend for having memorial gifts sent to us in memory of her husband Rosario who passed away last week. She indicated she was going down to the dining room and wanted me to join her for coffee, which I did. I learned from Alison Cox earlier that they were taking 12 residents for lunch to the Gloucester House Restaurant in a van with a nurse assigned for their safety and that others will be offered on, a rotating basis, this opportunity each month. The Friends of Seacoast would donations would be used to fund this event.
As it turned out Millie Gentile and another resident who was sitting at our table having coffee were part of the 12 chosen for the month. I mentioned to her that the gifts received in memory of her husband, Rosario, would help defray that cost which pleased her very much.
She said the staff at Seacoast was very good to the resident and she felt safe and was in a wonderful place.
Our next meeting is October 9, 2012 at 6 PM which falls on an event Alison Cox, our Activities Director, is having at 5 PM. It is a dinner and show (entertainment or movie) for the residents. Specialty food from area restaurants is brought in that evening. Anyone interested in checking it out before our 6 PM meeting is welcome to do so.
We will finalize our Holiday Fair scheduled for December 1, 2012. I am happy to report that Sam Santuccio has informed me that he will plan to provide the music for this event. Thanks Sam for all you do for us.
Karen Mc Cann will be the General Chairperson and handle the Wine Cellar ticket raffle.of this event and Angela and Pat Ciaramitaro will Co-Chair the cookie table so line up your friends to bake for this event. Vincent Pallazola and I will work the food table. Alison Cox will contact the Vendors who will be displaying their goods for sale throughout the dining room
You should be proud that your contributions of time and money are being used to make Seacoast the best facility on the North Shore. No other facility that I know of has a group like the Friends of Seacoast assisting the Activity Director in funding events to help the residents stay connected to the community.
I am happy be part of this dedicated group and thank you for your help.

“Tact is the ability to describe others as they see themselves."
Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)
The 16th president of the United States was well known for his quick wit and aphorisms. His political accomplishments, the preservation of the Union and the ending of slavery, have become almost mythic parts of American history. Even a cursory look at the man behind the myths reveals a towering intellect coupled with an astute political sense. Lincoln, a moderate Republican, purposefully constructed his cabinet of men who most often disagreed with him, and each other, in order that he received perspectives different from his own, and steered a course between extremes toward the goals he believed were right for the country. Assassinated at the close of the Civil War, Lincoln left behind a rich legacy of thoughtful and often self-deprecating quotes including: “It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt."
