Gloucester Public Schools City Wide Art Festival
Gloucester Public Schools City Wide Art Festival, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
In addition there is, like I mentioned above, artwork plastered all over Main St (or will be by mid afternoon today).
Perhaps you’d like to do a few shots of that. We art starting at Sage Florist down near Dunkin Donuts and will be in almost every business window down to Virgilio’s. Bank Gloucester is going to get covered head to toe in the parking lot lobby entrance as well as Main St and Pleasant St. corner windows. Vernon Martin Real Estate down near Dunkin Donuts will have a ton of work in their windows as well.
We are looking for as much coverage as we can get, really trying to get the whole community involved, not just the students parents and families, any help would be appreciated.”

Little Donna Ardizzone
I’m not gonna tell Donna who sent in this picture. She will have to figure this out on her own 🙂 Wasn’t she a cute child?
Donna is one of the group of good eggs in the “One Hour at a Time Gang” who have been meeting on Saturday mornings to clean an area of the city that could use some clean up. They decide on an area and meet Saturday mornings for an hour or so and get it done.

Good Eggs- Things To Do- Cleaning Crew
Got this message from Donna Ardizzone-
Hi All:
One Hour at a Time:
Date: Saturday, April 4, 2009
Time: 08:00 AM
Where: St. Peters’ Square
Please bring gloves and looking forward to seeing all
Thanks
That’s all it said. So I sent an email back to Donna asking here what the heck was going on.
She replied-
Hi Joey;
It started with Bob Gillis, Ed the House Doctor, Tony, Precision Roofing, myself and we just decided to do it and start cleaning rather than wait for the city to do it. Patti Amaral helps as often as she can. Some weeks we have quite few people. I send out the emails and we all decide what she be taken care of next.
A bunch of us decided to clean the streets every Saturday morning for an hour. Pick up trash, cigarette butts, etc. We go to Main Street and then the next week the BLVD, Good Harbor, etc. wherever we see an issue.. It works really well and people come up to us and thank us and I think that if people see people keeping their city clean it is catchy. Maybe you could mention on Good Morning Gloucester, thanks and also did you get to see Barbara’s window with the wedding dresses. Amazing…
Take care and hope to see you around town.
Donna
So if you are around and feel like lending a hand, swing on down to St Peters’ Square at 8:00AM April 4th and have at it.
