That the Rocky Neck Art Colony voted to undertake preliminary efforts toward purchasing the former Christian Science Church property on Rocky Neck?  At this time there is a fundraising effort underway to enable the RNAC to conduct a Feasibility Study for the Center, and to pay $1000/month beginning on 1/1/12 for the use of the property and toward the option to purchase the property by 1/1/13, or a mutually agreeable extension of time. 

A draft mission for the center has been developed as follows:
Owned and operated by the RNAC, a 501©(3) non-profit arts organization, the Center (actual name to be determined) will serve as a central gathering and activities space for the artists, residents, and merchants of the East Gloucester area.

The Center will be the organizational base of the RNAC, and serve its core mission as an arts organization.  In addition, the Center’s mission will be to enable positive community-building through both the arts and non-art-related uses.

The Center will be governed and managed in collaboration with members of the broader community of East Gloucester.

RNAC member, Mary Rhinelander, has generously created and donated 250 signed and numbered linoleum cut and letterpress cards depicting the building, with a brief history on the back.  Originally built in 1877 and then known as the Giles Chapel, it was built as a gathering place for the community and named for founding member, Lydia Giles Wonson.  This lovely card is available at the RNAC Winter Show, 130 Main Street, and can be yours for a donation of $5 toward this fundraising effort.

Have you ever wanted to make your own wreath with your personal touches, but weren’t sure where to start?  Join us on Wednesday, November 30, 2011 between 4 pm and 7 pm at the Essex Shipbuilding Museum ’s Waterline Center as Susie Talbot, of Forget-Me-Not Garden Services, guides us through putting together and decorating a 20” wreath. Wreaths, different styles of ribbons, dried and live fruit, and an assortment of accent greens will be provided so the wreath you take home will reflect you. Should you have a unique item you wish to use on your wreath, please bring it. We would also appreciate it if you have your own clippers or scissors if you brought them along. Due to the nature of this workshop, space will be limited. Registration charges will be based on the number of wreaths you wish to make. The cost for each wreath is $35. You may register for the workshop by going to www.essexshipbuildingmuseum.org, or calling 978-768-7541 and leaving a message.

Ready For Lights And Buoys!!!

if you’re just sitting there picking lint out of your belly button why not swing down to the Police Station and give them a hand?  It’s fun and something which the whole community appreciates!

If you are afraid the Po Po are gonna recognize you and pick you up on an outstanding warrant, just put on a porno stash (they’ll never guess it’s you)!

How do you think Ed is getting away with roaming around down there during the install?
