BREAKING NEWS: Cape Ann Animal Aid Launches Capital Campaign to Construct “Wing of Hope”

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro
We are so excited to share this incredible and exciting news! We have been given an amazingly generous opportunity to improve and expand our life saving services. Ms. Yvonne Wood, a longtime Rockport resident, artist and supporter of local charities, wanted to see CAAA expand our mission and make our dreams of increasing our isolation and improving our shelter a reality. She has donated $1,000,000 toward creating a new “Wing of Hope” in honor of her late husband Walter. In addition, Ms. Wood is now inviting CAAA friends and supporters to assist our effort by giving an additional $250,000 matching grant. 
As you may know, over the past few years CAAA has expanded its Shelter Medicine program and now has a procedure room, a full-time veterinarian, and veterinary technicians. CAAA provides in-house care for our shelter cats and dogs, and additional services to pets in our community through programs to provide free spay and neuter for low-income pet owners and hosting low-cost vaccine and microchipping clinics. CAAA’s volunteer and community programs incorporate education in animal training and behavior and veterinary medicine. Thanks to your generous support, CAAA has the commitment and the heart for this important life-saving work but needs more physical space.
After working with architects and building advisors to create a building plan, CAAA is ready to move forward and is asking our supporters for help. We estimate that the cost to complete needed upgrades for the current building, animal housing units and the “Wing of Hope” will be approximately $1.7 million dollars. 
Buoyed by the generosity of Ms. Yvonne Wood, CAAA is launching a capital campaign for upgrades and construction and needs your help. This is a great and exciting opportunity to double the impact of your donation. All donations up to $250,000 will be matched!

Gloucester400+ —–For Immediate Release—–Date: July 31, 2023

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Title: “Our People, Our Stories” Gloucester400+ Commemorative Legacy Book

Where: To order on-line www.gloucesterma400.org/book/

The long-anticipated legacy project of the Gloucester400+ Stories Project is now available for advanced ordering at a special pre-publication price. This beautiful collection of stories, excerpts from stories, and poems reflects the city’s rich cultural diversity. You will read tales of people who found their way to Gloucester’s shores, and whose lives were shaped by the land, the sea, or its unique community. In the mix are a variety of themes including family histories, impactful memories and moments, and character essays. Some of the stories have never been told before and some feature the fresh voices of first-time writers. 

To reserve this special limited-edition book we are encouraging the public to order online now. Pre-publication price is $60 for hardcover, $35 for softcover plus sales tax; the price will increase after publication. “Our People, Our Stories” will be available in time for the holiday season. Books will be available to pick up at either the G400+ Office at 123 Main Street or The Bookstore of Gloucester at 61 Main Street; there is also an option to ship books for a flat-rate fee.

The Gloucester400+ Stories Project is a community driven initiative, fueled by persons who came forward and simply wanted their stories told. You will hear the voices of ordinary and not-so-ordinary people who have something to say about their connections to and experiences in Gloucester.  Our entire Stories Project Legacies Collection spans written individual stories, endorsed books, videos and audio. While the commemorative book includes a significant portion of the stories project legacy, the entire collection of stories will 

 

 

 

 

remain available online and accessible for reading and research purposes into the future. The Stories Project is continuing to accept stories to be published on our website and be included in our legacy collection. Plans are in development to ensure community access to the collection well beyond 2023. 

From hundreds of submissions, a cross selection of stories and excerpts were chosen from those that reached us on or before the deadline of March 17, 2023. The book committee wish they could have included all submissions; the sheer volume of stories prohibited them from doing so. It was a challenge to choose the stories and excerpts, but each story submitted was carefully considered and reflect a diverse range of voices, experiences, timeframes, and themes. 

“I am delighted with the success of the 400 Stories Project and compliment all those who submitted stories embracing Gloucester’s 400+ anniversary. The quality of the submissions is impressive. I am honored to be part of the team that leaves this quadricentennial legacy of Gloucester voices.” – Laura Ventimiglia, Executive Director Emerita, who played a significant role initially in bringing the Stories Project to life.
