Hi All:

Due to predicted rainy weather on Saturday the first Gloucester Invitational, a classic car show hosted by the Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation, has been moved to our rain date:  Sunday, October 14th.

Please note the time of the show on Sunday:  from 1:00 to 5:00pm.

Set-up and car arrival on the green is between noon-1:00pm. The Sunday show retains the same festivities:  live Dixieland music by ‘John’s Giddy Gang,’  delicious chowders and lobster rolls by the Causeway Restaurant, and hourly tours of the historic Meetinghouse with a demonstration piece on the 1893 pipe-organ.

Trophies in 9 categories based upon the audience voting will be given out in an award ceremony at 4:30pm.

Please help us to get the word out in any way you can.

Thanks,

Charles L. Nazarian, president

I Am More Project by our friend Amy Kerr

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Dear I Am More subjects,

September was a super busy month for the project. The display and event at the Lahey Behavioral Health treatment center in Danvers to celebrate Recovery Month was very well-received. The staff shared how they would watch the residents reading the pieces and then walk away smiling. The Fish Tales live storytelling event with the theme “I Am More” was standing-room-only and Henry Ferrini of the Gloucester Writers Center called it “one of the best we’ve presented.”

Iain and I have finished hanging the October displays. Julia is on display at Emerson College, and the rest of you are at the Action Inc. headquarters in Gloucester. Action provides shelter and services for the homeless population, low income residents, and at-risk youth of Cape Ann, and everyone who receives services from them will pass by your portraits. Just in the short time we spent there hanging, there was an amazing response and I’ve already received feedback from a board member who saw it yesterday.

To round out the year, your portraits will be headed to Addison Gilbert Hospital in November, Magnolia Library in December, with lots of displays planned for 2019 including the Matz Gallery at the Sawyer Free library, Gloucester High School and North Shore Music Theatre. I’ve recently had inquiries from Rockport, Brattleboro, VT and Washington D.C., so stay tuned!

Happy Fall!

Amy Kerr
