With deep appreciation and many thanks to the great number of you who supported our teens in this effort.

YMCA Teen Leaders Club presents $1000 donation to Open Door

Back in January, members of the YMCA Teen Leaders Club embarked on their annual “Rockathon to Feed Cape Ann’s Hungry” – with each member rocking in a rocking chair for 24-sleepless hours from 8am Saturday through 8am Sunday. Each Y Teen Leader committed to solicit and collect a minimum of 222 cans. From Youth spent weeks soliciting and then collecting donations of non-perishable food items. In order to accommodate prospective donors who might have difficulty carting caseloads of cans, the club established a “three-for-a-dollar” rate for financial donations for Open Door.

Through the efforts of this fantastic group of local youth, more than 5500 cans and other non-perishable food items were earned and distributed to the Open Door, St. Vincent DePaul Society and directly to local families in need.

On February 11th, the YMCA Teen Leaders Club welcomed special guest Julie LaFontaine, Executive Director of the Open Door. After Julie thanks the teens for their consistently strong efforts year after year, club members proudly presented a $1000 donation – the fiscal culmination of the groups’ collections. The YMCA Teen Leaders Club would like to officially recognize our top three solicitors: Colby Ferris-657, Alex Jones-468 & Zach White-293. We would also like to thanks our families, friends, neighbors and the community for such a tremendous outpouring of support for others in need.

Mike Lindberg posted a cool Photoshop effect a couple months ago using a “miniaturizing effect”. In posting my shrimp recipe I thought there might be some people who just got off the boat and did not know where the new Intershell Seafood Market was so I combine two tasks. I may need to work on this a bit but if you click and show “all sizes” you may be able to see me standing in front of Intershell.

After the news of more snow tomorrow, I’m dreaming of warm weather. Here’s a white out photo from last 4th of July.  I love when the fog rolls in like this.
