Cape Ann Symphony Launches Second Season of Popular Musicians Unleashed Concert Series 

Cape Ann Symphony Launches Second Season of Popular Musicians Unleashed Concert Series 
Series of Concerts in Intimate Settings 
FIRST CONCERT is OCTOBER 27 at First Church of Ipswich 
After the incredibly successful introduction of three musical events featuring Cape Ann Symphony musicians in three different intimate settings during the winter of 2019, Cape Ann Symphony is bringing MUSICIANS UNLEASHED back  as a FOUR concert series during the 2019–2020 season.
 Musicians Unleashed 2019/20 is a program of 4 concerts to be performed in small venues.  The concerts will feature CAS musicians.  These concerts are fund raisers and musicians are volunteering their time to perform.  According to CAS President Fran White. “We launched this concert series in January, 2019. This is something very different for the CAS and we happily received such positive feedback from our audiences that Musicians Unleashed is  returning for a second season.  Audiences loved the variety of interesting venues, many of which do not host music events on a regular basis, and the opportunity to see CAS musicians play in small groups.”
The following is the schedule for 2019/20:
Sunday, October  27, 2019  2:00 PM

The first picture was taken October 7 and the second on the 20th, about two weeks apart. I love watching the colors develop on Buswell Pond as it prepares for winter.

The Gloucester Rotary Club and Castle Manor Inn are taking action on World Polio Day to raise awareness, funds, and support to end polio, a vaccine-preventable disease that still threatens children in parts of the world today.

There will be a Dining Fundraiser at the Sea Glass Restaurant at the Castle Manor Inn, located at 141 Essex Avenue (Rt 133) in Gloucester on Thursday, October 24, 2019, from 5pm to 9pm. The Castle Manor Inn will donate 10% of all dining proceeds from this event to the Gloucester Rotary Club’s #EndPolioNow fundraising Campaign. Reservations are recommended—978-515-7386. For more information about the Sea Glass Restaurant, visit their website at www.castlemanorinn.com.

When Rotary and its partners launched the Global Polio Eradication Initiative more than three decades ago, polio paralyzed 1,000 children every day. We’ve made great progress against the disease since then. Polio cases have dropped by 99.9 percent, from 350,000 cases…

My wonderful hubby gave me an early Christmas present, a Sigma 100-400 mm lens.  Decided to go over to West Gloucester and try it out.  Love going by this pond in West Gloucester.  So pretty and peaceful.

Magnolia Community Farmers’ Market

This is our chance to show off what we have been working towards all summer: BUILDING A BETTER MARKET! We will be making our pitch, along with 3 other teams seeking a grant. The trustees will vote and decide if our hard work and NEW IDEAS are worthy of a $1000 no-strings-attached grant! Our team has worked so hard this summer to bring Magnolia a fresh and exciting new farmers market, and if you are on this mailing list, it means we couldn’t have done it without YOU! The trustees encourage us to invite our supporters to join us at the Gloucester House to cheer us on! With this grant, the MCFM hopes to be able to improve our website, reach out to more food vendors and farms and work to achieve WIC and SNAP accreditation so that we can BETTER serve our shoppers and the community! If you don’t have plans this Thursday, come on down to the Gloucester House and show your support for the Magnolia Community Farmers Market!
