Seniors Christmas Party At McPherson Park Pics From David Cox

Ed Collard told me that they were holding a Christmas party at the senior center at McPherson Park on Prospect Street.

Yes we cover the children and the teens at the high school and other events around town but it struck me that this is a story I really wanted to hopefully cover.  Thanks to Thom Falzorano and David Cox we got it.

Don’t forget your elders during the holiday season.

Everyone looked liked they had a great time-

Thom Falzorano writes in-

Joey, Here are the pictures I took along with David.  Thanks for the call to cover this wonderful event.  The Collard family has been doing this for many years and do a great job.  What I was impressed the most was Jenna, a high school student has been doing this with along with her family and she is only a Sophomore @ GHS and ED’s future Son in law was there too!!!!   What a family!   The Collard’s family tradition is what Christmas is all about, giving not receiving!

Steal Stuff At The Landmark Auction

From FOB Rob Hall-

Hello Joey,

Thought GMG readers might be interested in the Landmark School Online Auction. It is only running until Friday and it hasn’t had that much exposure so there are a bunch of great steals to be had.

http://www.landmarkschool.cmarket.com/

A bunch of Cape Ann residents have donated items including a European Facial and Beauty Products from Soft Touch Salon in Gloucester.

http://www.cmarket.com/auction/item/Item.action?id=101297444

The proceeds go to Landmark’s Annual Fund and help students with language based learning disabilities acquire the skills they need to succeed in life.

Christmas on Main -Things To Do At Art Haven!

From Dawn Gadow At Art Haven-

Hi Joey,
First, there’s a copy of the full schedule for the middle street walk.
I’m not sure if anyone has gotten this to you yet, but it would be
great if you could get it out there for people to see. Also, I’ve
attached our flier about the stuff that we’re doing on the 12th. And
finally, you should try to make it down sometime this week and check
out The Hive–they’re almost completely moved in now and it’s looking
really awesome 🙂 Hope all is well. The cookie contest looked pretty
awesome and successful, I stopped in for a few minutes. Thanks as
always for all you do and hopefully I’ll see you soon!
Dawn
