Chris and I offered to donate $100 each to Warren Waugh’s Alzheimer’s Association and a Suicide Awareness program if we sell 100 pints within a week’s time. Not five minutes after our friend Carlton Campbell from @waterscapesofnewengland chimed in with a $250 donation followed by Mike Codair’s $100 donation and then Big Daddy Warren Waugh dropped this bombshell-

Warren and Lyon Waugh Auto Group coming through with $1000 each for both organizations!

Nichole Schrafft is donating $100 and Rachael Refalo chimed in that she will be donating $100 as well!

March 17 Legislative & COVID-19 Update

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

March 17 Legislative & COVID-19 UpdateNews from the office of Rep. Ann-Margaret Ferrante
Today, the Commonwealth announced the timeline for all remaining residents to be eligible for a vaccine and provided an update on doses that are being received and distributed.

Vaccine Eligibility Timeline

Today, the Commonwealth announced the dates that all remaining residents and certain worker groups will be eligible for a vaccine. The detailed timeline adheres to the original timeline for the three phases announced in December.

All residents can preregister to book an appointment at a mass vaccination site at mass.gov/COVIDVaccine. Appointments will be offered based on eligibility and available appointments nearby. It is expected that more sites will come online as part of the preregistration process in April.

Timeline for remaining groupsMarch 22nd: Residents 60+ and certain workersApril 5th: Residents 55+ and residents with one certain medical conditionApril 19th: General public ages 16 years of age and olderThe full timeline is available at mass.gov/COVIDVaccinePhases.

The Commonwealth has received assurances from the federal government that an increased vaccine supply will be available to states soon. Depending on supply, it could take weeks for people to be notified that an appointment is available at a mass vaccination site.Dose Update

This week, the state is receiving a modest increase in supply of first doses, approximately 170,000. This includes an unexpected 8,000 doses of J&J vaccine.

In total, the Commonwealth will receive 316,000 first and second doses as part of the state allocation. These figures do not include doses provided through the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program or to Federally Qualified Health Centers.

This week, first doses and second dose state allocations (total doses), were distributed among providers as follows:Mass vaccination locations: 101,890Health systems and health care providers (excluding CHCs): 99,230Community Health Centers: 27,450Regional Collaboratives and Local Boards of Health: 59,580Regional Collaboratives: 40,370Local Boards of Health: 19,210Retail pharmacies (non-CVS)State allocation: 8,490Mobile Clinics supporting long-term care facilities, congregate care, affordable/low-income senior housing and homebound individuals: 19,180Weekly allocations are subject to change based on federal availability, demand from providers, and obligations to meet second doses. Providers have 10 days to use their doses and must meet specific performance thresholds.

Federal Doses

In addition to the state allocation, the federal government distributes vaccines to CVS Health sites as part of the Federal Retail Pharmacy Partnership as well as to certain Massachusetts federally qualified community health centers. These quantities fluctuate on a weekly basis and are not counted as part of the state’s weekly allocation.

This week, 106,440 first and second doses have been allocated to the retail pharmacy program and 9,500 doses have been allocated to the federally qualified health centers.

Individuals looking to book appointments across any of these providers should visit mass.gov/COVIDvaccine to learn more.

Boat Prep Heritage Center

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

We are going to be prepping (sanding and scraping and painting) the two practice boats for the season inside the garage at the Heritage Center.  We need to finish the boats as soon as possible.  We can work on the boats anytime during the day or night since the boat will be inside.  If you have time please contact Geno Mondello at 978-879-9505 so he can open the garage for you.  We will get sand paper and paint there this week.  Any one with extension cords, sanders, scraper or able arms please bring them.  The more people that help the faster we get the boats in.  Also, we will need to clean up after each prepping.   

Thank you in advance for your help.
