We will take your old Christmas Tree and recycle it for use in local gardens.

Why get pine needles all over your car?

Do not let dry brittle branches scratch the paint !

Tree pick up on Saturday December 29, January 5, and January 12

Between 8 AM and 2 PM.

Trees must be free of ornaments, lights, and tree stands.

Trees should be put outside prior to our arrival.

A $5 donation will go to support local Boy Scout Troop 20.

Money will be used to go on Scouting trips, outings, and/or equipment.

If you would like us to pick up your tree please call New Phone # 978-309-9501 with your name, address, telephone number and which day is best to pick up your tree.

Or, E-mail with the same information to New E-mail Address troop20treepickup@gmail.com

Rockport and Gloucester only please.

Here is the video of the 2018 Gloucester High School Holiday Song. It was created by staff members and it is a parody of Billy Joel’s We Didn’t Start the Fire.

I hope you enjoy and happy new year.

Causeway restaurant eggplant parm $10, delicious, and enough to feed two or three people. It’s that time of year to put the Causeway into your rotation as there’s a much better chance of getting a table in the off-season. 

I PLEDGE TO DUNK MY HEAD COMPLETELY UNDERWATER AT OAKES COVE BEACH JANUARY 1, 2019 AT NOON FOR THE ROCKY NECK POLAR PLUNGE.  I ALSO PLEDGE TO BRING EITHER CANNED GOODS, NON PERISHABLES OR MONEY TOP DONATE TO THE OPEN DOOR TO HELP FEED PEOPLE IN NEED.

I’LL ALSO HAVE A PLEDGE TO PLUNGE SHEET AT TONIGHT’S GMG HOLIDAY BBQ AT CAPE ANN GICLEE.

DIRECTIONS-

Rocky Neck Plunge Info from Brenda Malloy-

Thought it may be a good idea to give people some directions on exactly where the beach is that The Rocky Neck Plunge takes place. It is called Oak Cove Beach at the end of Stevens Way, neither of which names are commonly known to most, even on Rocky Neck!
When one is driving down Rocky Neck and bears right at Sailor Stan’s restaurant, you take the first street on the  left ‘Stevens Way’. This is a short street, 2 houses long, then you must go either right or left on Wonson St.  If you were to continue straight you go down the gravel path ahead of you, this leads to Oak Cove Beach where the plunge takes place.
Hope to see a big crowd, one and all are welcome!
PEACE!

12/27/2018 – A few weeks ago the super talented Gloucester, MA artist Sam Nigro asked me if I happened to have a digital picture I could text him of the print Chef Anthony Caturano, of Tonno Gloucester, had stolen out of the men’s room in 10/2018. Oddly enough I did as Cm Schwartz couldn’t go into the men’s room so I took a pic to show her. Sam’s canvas normally is an antique oar. Sam texted me as he was about half way through painting the work you see in this post & he asked me if I would present it to Anthony. I said, “Sure, I’ll go with you.” Sam said, “Thanks, but I prefer you present it to him without me. That’s what I would like.” So, I didn’t argue and fulfilled Sam’s wish yesterday. Last night was the big night as Anthony was at Tonno Gloucester. I was honored Sam asked me to do his dirty work & hopefully all men reading this post that frequent Tonno Gloucester will see the finished work on the men’s room wall soon … (Learn more about Sam & view his work at www.glostoar.com) | #GloucesterMA #Art #Artist #Painting #Oar #Glostoar #Gift #BluefinTuna
