Attention Business Owners: SPONSORS NEEDED FOR UPCOMING EVENT

Hello,

My name is Marissa and I work with The Lexington Ave Block Party Committee. Our team here is working to facilitate the upcoming August Block Party to supporters and community members like you.

This past weekend, we had over 500 guests come to our block party, where we had many vendors fill the streets.. We offered music by Soul Rebel Project as well a kid zone filled with bounce houses, a dunk tank and other things for kids of all ages to do. Many food trucks also attended the event!

We are expecting August’s event to be an even larger turn out! 

But events like this can be expensive, and to make sure our operations run smoothly and our guests receive the best experience possible, we need your help. With entertainment costs,  and more, a sponsorship from your organization will bring us closer to having the perfect event.

There are different levels of sponsorship see as follows:
Platinum – $1,000
Bronze – $500
Gold – $250 
Silver $100

If you choose to sponsor our event, you will be advertised on all of our flyers and marketing materials for the event.

Please contact us at marissa@lcompanies.com if you have any questions or are interested in becoming a sponsor.

Thank you,
The Lexington Ave Block Party Committee

Latest Book Release Highlights the City of Gloucester

Artist Mary Faino has collaborated once again with writer S.D. Kelly in the creation of a picture book for children, this time featuring the historic port city of Gloucester, Massachusetts.

Called A Day in Gloucester, the book highlights notable landmarks in and around Gloucester Harbor by taking the reader on a journey, beginning just before sunrise and ending just after nightful. A Day in Gloucester even includes a foray into deeper waters in its depiction of whales at play, a nod to Gloucester’s reputation as a premier whale-watching location.

Artist Mary Faino has created original artwork for the book, combining paper art collage with gouache painting, accompanied by evocative text from S.D. Kelly. This collaborative effort has produced a book that captures various Gloucester scenes – everything from the West End to the Paint Factory to the Boulevard – in a way that both residents and visitors can appreciate. And while designed for children, A Day in Gloucester provides the perfect snapshot of America’s oldest port for readers of all ages. 

A Day in Gloucester is the latest in a series of books from Mary Faino and S.D. Kelly. Previous releases include A Day in Rockport and Rome: a Day

A Day in Gloucester can be purchased at The Bookstore in Gloucester and at The Paper Mermaid in Rockport. A book launch with both the artist and writer available to sign books will be held at The Paper Mermaid, 57 Main Street in Rockport, on Saturday July 29th from 6-8pm. Original artwork created for the book will also be on display. For more information, contact the store at 978-546-3553.
