Community members are invited and encouraged to attend the second Trusted Adult North Shore workshop happening this Wednesday, December 10th, from 6:00–7:30 PM at the Landmark Elementary & Middle School Cafeteria (167 Bridge Street, Manchester-by-the-Sea). You can join in person or via Zoom. Register here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc-aiz5Ac_Sr_5yaRJ8JfHMPztciNpQnJpkobLakuqIbkJXSg/viewform?usp=header

This session is open to all trusted adults including teachers, coaches, afterschool staff, neighbors, bus drivers, youth leaders, and anyone who supports young people. We’ll spend the first half of the workshop engaging in discussion and shared learning, followed by a youth panel featuring voices from communities across the North Shore. They will share firsthand perspectives on the impact of trusted adults in their lives.

Our first workshop received excellent feedback, with participants reporting they felt more prepared and confident in talking with youth about their needs.

Please help us spread the word! Invite friends, family, and colleagues, and join us for an engaging and meaningful evening and an opportunity to add a few new tools to your toolbox.

This page was organized to help support my mom, Julie, during this devastating time. As all of you know, Julie and Chuck are rarely seen apart. She continues to stand by his side while he is in the ICU and we’re hoping to lighten her burden a bit, while helping ensure she also takes care of herself. Having meals dropped off a couple times a week would would be a huge help (meal sign ups below), along with any gift cards for gas, food on the go, or other needs that arise while she is not working and traveling back and forth daily to the hospital. But most of all, we need prayers. Status Update: Chuck experienced a cardiac event on Sunday December 7th, while out to dinner with his wife Julie. CPR was performed right away on site, he was rushed to the hospital, and later transferred to the ICU at Lahey Medical Center in Burlington, MA. He was without oxygen for quite some time during the event and has continued to be unresponsive at this time. Doctors have stated his condition is very serious and at this point, we are taking it hour by hour, we are all staying hopeful and praying he will pull through.

Timeline: Cape Ann Screening — The Flying Santa
Friday, December 19 | 3:00–4:00 PM
Community Room | Sawyer Free Library, 2 Dale Ave., Gloucester

The Sawyer Free Library is delighted to welcome Kory Curcuru of 1623 Studios for a special screening of Timeline: Cape Ann — The Flying Santa.

More than 90 years ago, a Maine pilot began a heartfelt tradition: air-dropping Christmas packages to lighthouse keepers and their families who guided him to safety. Over time, the route expanded to Cape Ann and eventually reached Coast Guard stations and lighthouses across the country. Remarkably, the Flying Santa tradition continues to this day.

This captivating film tells the story of one man’s generosity and the enduring spirit of community that helped shape Gloucester’s identity. A Q&A with Kory Curcuru will follow the screening.

This free public event is open to all. Registration is requested at sawyerfreelibrary.org.
