from Gloucester Meeting House Foundation
With deep regret but for the good of the community the Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation is postponing the March 21st Bach Birthday Concert.
The Mayor has asked that all public gatherings of over 25 people in close proximity be avoided due to the potential transmission of the coronavirus.
We are also postponing the April 19th event called The Endurance of Hope. This will be a narrated concert in commemoration of the Holocaust
presented in collaboration with Temple Ahavat Achim.
Please note that both will be held at a later date when it is again safe for large indoor events. We trust that will be in the not too distant future
and will keep you posted. All advance ticket purchases will be honored.
On a happier note, the 5th season of our outdoor summer series Music on Meetinghouse Green is ready to roll. The opening concert will be on July 10th
featuring the Berklee ensemble BeBop Guitars, with donations in support of Pathways for Children and food available from the Causeway. The festival will
run nine Friday evenings, starting at 6:00pm.
Please feel free to share this announcement as needed.
Sincerely,
Charles Nazarian, president

Coroneconomy – some local shopping sales bump
Is your supermarket busy? Here’s the Stop & Shop crush 6pm yesterday with lines for cashiers and self-checkout wrapped all around.
The essentials – one shopper’s cart last night -ice cream and water!
Not just UK apparently- here’s the toilet paper aisle at BJ’s today. Courtesy photo with note- “The shelves are empty here. The economy will be fine.”
Beyond health and safety conversations with family and friends, at this early week mark, I’m seeing discussions about which industries may be impacted disastrously or pick up. Ditto public services: public meetings will be postponed, but could roadwork ramp up as more people stay home and off the road? One friend canceled a party this weekend, signing off with some black humor – stay healthy and send suggestions for staying cooped up with kids. Another friend sparked a debate about sending students home from college (many untested):
“We are missing a huge opportunity as a Nation. Given that we have barely conducted 6000 tests in two weeks, when compared to South Korea which conducts 20,000 test A DAY! We clearly need to ramp up! Our college kids are healthy, pretty indestructible, and well educated. They could run tests, assist in research, help out in medical settings, even help in transforming hotels or other spaces into medical ready facilities. But we are sending them home, to sit on couches and play video games. Why?” – Linda
Responses back ranged from the difficulties of such close quarters in dorms to alternative approaches in the works (like the Univ. of Washington appealing to grad students to do just that, and Colgate keeping kids on campus).
Healthy wishes to all and feeling grateful for the work that will be undertaken by so many–and at risk– to keep us safe.

Gloucester, Rockport schools to close for two weeks
Gloucester, Rockport schools to close for two weeksBy Michael Cronin Staff Writer
The Gloucester and Rockport public school districts have announced they will close all schools from Monday, March 16 through Friday, March 27.The districts made the decision as the state continues to deliberate on the most effective actions toward eliminating the spread of the novel coronavirus disease COVID-19.
“They are cancelled for two weeks,” said Mayor Sefatia Romeo Theken, an ex-officio member of the School Committee, explaining that the closure is not because of any presumed cases. “I don’t even have to shut the schools down … But because we want to do an extensive cleaning, there is no way that can happen while children are in school.”
