Thank you, Anna from Cape Ann Salt and Cape Ann Giclee, Deb Deanna from Hold & Fast and Angelina from Eleven Eleven Elixer for organizing these great Markets in 2022.  The Holiday Markets were a great success and I appreciate the opportunity to dress as elf and sell my products.  The vendors that participate in the market are all so talented.  Also thank you all who come out to support and buy local.  I hope all have a happy holiday season and a wonderful 2023.

Pauline’s Gifts customer appreciation day

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

On Wednesday December 14, 2022, Pauline had a customer appreciation day.  I went over to get some gifts and as always had fun and lots of laughs while shopping.  When shopping in the store, a wonderful woman was there looking at the great Pajamas that Pauline sells.  She tried them on and modeled them.  This is why it we love shopping at Pauline’s Gifts at 512 Essex Avenue, Gloucester, MA.

Events at the Gloucester Meetinghouse and a thank you for Charles

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Hi Donna and Joey,

Thanks for posting the events at the Gloucester Meetinghouse (Unitarian Universalist Church) on Good Morning Gloucester.  Your help with getting the word out is always greatly appreciated!

Next weekend we have back to back concerts, a rare occurrence.  Posters for both are attached but I just placed both events on the blog.

On Saturday evening, December 17, the Musicians of the Old Post Road perform their annual chamber music concert of the holiday season.  They are one of the best early music ensembles in the country and play on period instruments, offering a gorgeous musical experience in the candlelit warmth of the Meetinghouse.  Here is the  Cape Ann Community Blog post:  https://capeanncommunity.com/2022/12/08/american-originals-a-moravian-christmas/

On Sunday evening, December 18, the Cape Ann Big Band is performing their Holiday Concert.  Both shows in Rockport at the Shalin Liu the day before are already sold out!  This is a great chance for local residents to enjoy their signature big sound in a much larger space and for less money per ticket!!!  Here is the Cape Ann Community Blog post: https://capeanncommunity.com/2022/12/08/newsflash-extra-cape-ann-big-band-holiday-concert-sunday-december-18th/

Question:  when I am adding an event at WordPress there is a list of Categories on the right hand margin (e.g. Maritime Gloucester) to choose as a venue or organization, but the Gloucester Meetinghouse does not appear.  I have tried to enter our name in the open slot but it won’t let me.  How do we get the Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation listed with the other organizations?  Can one of you do this for us?
