Guided Autobiography Group with Gloucester Writers Center

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

  • Join members of our community for a journey of personal exploration,
    writing, and community building as we:
    • leave a legacy for family members • facilitate life transitions
    • enhance personal growth • contribute to history • enjoy the
    thrill of self-discovery
    Guided autobiography is a fun and effective process for life review
    that combines autobiographical writing with small group experiences.
    Each week we will use prompting questions to jumpstart and organize our memories
    around a meaningful life theme. The weekly sessions also provide a
    safe space for sharing our work-in-progress, and participants will be
    asked to share two pages that they wrote during the previous week.
    Guided autobiography is especially powerful for those entering or
    wanting to enter a new phase of life, but everyone can benefit.

    This group will meet for ten Mondays Starting September 17 and ending on November 19 from 7-9 p.m. at the Maud / Olson Library at 108 East Main Street.
    Class cost: $250
    Minimum enrollment: 5
    Maximum enrollment: 8

Pier 23

We had lunch at the “new” Pier 23 recently. Contrary to expectation, we each ordered a wrap. Stuffed with real chicken chunks, accompanied by strips of bacon….and the chipotle mayo was more chipotle than mayo which I loved. Friendly service, steady customer stream, varied menu…..we’ll be back!

Surf’s Up

I thought I was going to get some cool kite flying shots when I drove by Good Harbor Beach one recent windy morning.  Instead I found this adventure-seeker.

I guess you have to expect this to happen once in a while:

Calling All Students!

Did you know that Crossfit Cape Ann offers a discount for all current students?

The primary goal at CFCA is to help our members increase their capability, durability (both mental and physical) and most importantly longevity through consistent quality movement in a fun and supportive environment. We have evolved over the years into what we’d consider more of a “lifestyle” crossfit gym. We focus on exercises that we feel have the best carryover to the demands of our member’s lives outside of the gym and less on competition or Crossfit as “sport”.

Clark’s Cemetery Event

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

This Sunday, starting at 10:00 AM, volunteers from the Cemetery Advisory Committee, Clark’s Cemetery restoration crew, and the Cemetery Restoration Partnership will be working in Clark’s to right what we believe is the Josiah Stevens, Jr. monument.  Josiah is a Civil War Veteran and has been knocked down for several years.  The monument weighs approximately 1,980 pounds.  Stop by and watch our crew at work, learn about Clark’s Cemetery or spend time volunteering.
