One Hour at a Time Gang Clean Up

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Hi kids:

Hope everyone is keeping warm and dry. As I went by the foot bridge near Good Harbor Beach, the street could use some TLC.

When:                  Saturday, May 18, 2019

Time:                    08:00 – 09:00

Where:                 Good Harbor Beach near the foot bridge

If you have pickers probably would be good idea to bring them along.

Thank you all and take care

Donna

It is so important to shop local. Whatever you need it can be bought locally. Love this seahorse from Toodeloos Toy Store on 142 Main Street, Gloucester, MA and a great tee shirt from One Ocean One Love located at 47R Parker Street, Gloucester, MA 01930

I Am More at Cape Ann Savings Bank

 Fourteen pastel and colored pencil I Am More portraits by Amy Kerr, featuring many Cape Ann residents, can be seen at Cape Ann Savings Bank during the month of May in their beautiful gallery space. The portraits are accompanied by essays by the subjects about how they are more than their life challenges, including grief, mental illness, addiction, and dysphoria. There are resources available at the display from local non-profits detailing free support groups and services in Cape Ann.

 Special thanks to Bob Gillis, Jennifer Orlando, Steve Goodick, and everyone at Cape Ann Savings Bank for welcoming the display.

 To see all of the I Am More portraits and essays, including 18 new ones from around the state go to www.amykerrdraws.org.
