The amazing Liz Frame. Every bit as smart and sassy as any songwriter you’d ever expect to find, with a performance and delivery that backs it all up 1000%.
We have brother JB to thank for bringing her into the Rhumb Line fold. He knows “great” when he sees and hears it. Once again… we go 6 to 9pm. ~ Fly

I love the boulevard for so many reasons and we should all be super appreciative to those who take such good care of it. One of its treasures are the bocce ball courts! Sunday was both Father’s Day and Finn’s birthday. After breakfast at the Mile Marker we played a few games of bocce and then went out for ice cream.

The Lyon Waugh Auto Group sponsored a Drive to Remember Rally on Monday June 21 as a fund raiser for the Alzheimer’s Association and the rally ended with a picnic at Stage Fort Park. By all indications, the rally was a great success giving drivers the opportunity to participate and showcase their vehicles. Even so, it’s never too late to donate. Thank you Warren Waugh and Cidalia Schwartz for your unending efforts on behalf of Alzheimer’s families and caretakers. We saw quite a few familiar faces in the crowd!

On Monday, June 28, 6:30-8pm, the SAWYER FREE LIBRARY will present the second talk in their informative series “TECHNOLOGY ON THE HORIZON,” which spotlights individuals and organizations on the North Shore working with critical or emerging technologies.
Most of the ocean is remote, deep, dark, cold, and extremely high pressure. So how do we help more people explore it?
Join PATRICK FLANAGAN, founder and director of OceanLab, in a virtual discussion of technologies that make exploration of the ocean more accessible to all. Learn about the evolution of technologies that allow organizations like OceanLab dive deep into deepest depths of our oceans.

We hope you are well and that you are finding some normalcy in your lives.
2020 and 2021 has been an incredibly challenging year for each of us. And perhaps one of the few celebrations we received, was to AGAIN be nominated as the Best Of North Shore (BONS) Solar Contractor for a 3rd consecutive year.
This year’s nomination is very special as it comes during an incredible 18 months of challenges for you and our team.
Over the past 18 months the Cazeault Solar & Home team endured and worked through challenges of Utility delays, remote workings of distributors and utilities, searching for products beyond normal channels, holding back on some of the 4 price increases from manufacturers so we did not have to pass them onto our clients, and so many more challenges.
The Cazeault Solar & Home team never complained – never gave up- and in most all cases kept our clients sheltered from these concerns and issues.
To win the People’s Choice award for Best of North Shore (BONS) would be a great recognition for the team at Cazeault Solar & Home. In this light, we would appreciate your vote.
To vote for THEM! Please use the link below to cast your vote. I thank you and our team thanks you.

Dear Friends, Family and Supporters:
As you know from the articles in the Gloucester Daily Times, there have been concerns over myself, current staff, and retired staff.
This process played out through professionals and there’s more info below, but I want to thank you for being by my side.
You’ll see those outside investigation findings of the complaints below including the summary of complaints, but this is all I can share right now.
I realize that being a friend and being open wasn’t the best policy, and my choice of words were not ideal, either. I take full responsibility for being overly passionate, excitable and- yes-loud. I have been attending various professional management training sessions, webinars and more. I have learned new techniques and skills that I’m grateful for and embrace the positive change. I only wish I had known about how the perception of our conversations bothered them sooner but we’re moving forward together.
That being said, I’m glad to finally address this in some form but more excited about getting ready for a glorious, economical summer.
Respectfully,
Sefatia

Restoration of the Green Coming Up Soon!
After many years of neglect Meetinghouse Green is in need of a thorough restoration. Last year, summer series virtual audiences contributed $7,500 towards a Feasibility Study by the firm Landesign, Inc. to improve accessibility and enhance safety. The GMF is currently seeking large government and foundation grants plus individual donations to fund this over $200K project, slated to begin this fall and be completed in time for the 2022 summer series.
About the GMF
The Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit modeled upon the Old North Foundation in relation to Boston’s famous Old North Church. Its mission is to preserve the landmark building as a civic hub, entertainment venue, and community center. The ongoing preservation of the building seeks to combine the highest standard of restoration with energy conservation techniques and has achieved a ‘net-zero’ building carbon footprint with the help of Reforest the Tropics and its climate-change initiative TownGreen/2025.
Building History and the Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation
Completed in 1806 for the first Universalist Church in America, the grand Federal Style, 600-seat Meetinghouse with a 110’ lantern steeple and Paul Revere Bell is a jewel in the heart of the Historic District. Now well into its third century serving the people of Cape Ann, its history is steeped in the establishment of religious freedom in Massachusetts and the Constitutional separation of church and state. Home of the present-day Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church and host to The Grace Center, the building is alive with activities like concerts, family-friendly entertainment, events, symposia and civic celebrations.
