Splash over on Stacy Blvd.

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

As soon as I heard the ocean singing yesterday and a friend texted me to get down to the Boulevard, went to the Boulevard and the waves and splash over did not disappoint .  Actually had to run from the spray to the other side of the street.

Cadet of the Year

Posted on by Nichole S.

The Gloucester David G. Ouellet Division of the US Naval Sea Cadets joined with other divisions at the Commandant’s House at the Charlestown Naval Shipyard on Sunday.  They worked to support Toys for Tots and were in attendance for the awarding of “Cadet of the Year.”

This year the Navy League of the United States Massachusetts Bay Council recognized the selection of Petty Officer Ryan Litch as the Sea Cadet of the Year.

As the parent of a ten-year old League Cadet who is just beginning his journey with this incredible group of individuals, I am thrilled that Thatcher has a role model as dedicated, well-rounded, confident, and kind as LPO Litch.  Litch and the other senior members of the Gloucester Sea Cadets not only guide, help, and teach the younger recruits and cadets, but they give them positive examples to emulate.  No doubt it was very motivational for them to watch him being recognized in such a special way.

Congratulations to Petty Officer Litch and his family on this accomplishment.  There are great things ahead for sure.

The Christmas Tree lighting on the USS Constitution culminated the days’ activities and was a really special event.

We are very appreciative to all of the dedicated and decorated staff, instructors, and volunteers who make this organization such a positive experience for the cadets.

MAYOR SEFATIA AND TONNO’S ANTHONY CATURANO SUGO VS. GRAVY GREAT COOK-OFF ROUND TWO!

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

Warren Waugh, Mayor Sefatia, Karen Hanson

Mayor Sefatia and her team, Chef Anthony Caturano and the Tonno staff, and Warren Waugh with Cidalia Schwartz and the Lyon-Waugh Auto Group team brought the community together for a fabulous lunch of the Mayor’s “sugo” versus the Chef’s “gravy.” The luncheon included steaming bowls of polenta and sausage with  gravy versus homemade pasta and meatballs dressed with  sugo. Both were wonderfully delicious! Tori Amos and Brian King provided lovely background music and Scottie Mac was the DJ.

Sadly, the day’s event took place without Anthony’s presence. His sister Christina Caturano Ryan passed away from breast cancer several days ago. She was only forty one and left two young children. Anthony was attending Christina’s funeral today. Despite her tragic death, Anthony insisted that the fundraiser take place. His team did a phenomenal job. The staff donated their time and all funds raised goes to the care of cancer patients. We wish to offer our most heartfelt condolences to Anthony.

Hernan, Aaron, and Neal
Tremendous shout out to the Tonno staff for donating their time today. They are: Chef Neal Maver, AAron Budak, Hernan Castro, Toni Armstrong, Frank DiMercurio, and Bryan Testaverde.

And the winner is … Lots more Instagrams here ~ Continue reading “MAYOR SEFATIA AND TONNO’S ANTHONY CATURANO SUGO VS. GRAVY GREAT COOK-OFF ROUND TWO!” →
