The Gloucester Education Foundation held its 10th Birthday Gala Friday evening at the Beauport Hotel.  The event raised funds for the music room at the O’Maley Innovation Middle School and brought out 250 local residents to celebrate with GEF.  Ove the past ten years, GEF has raised more than $5 million to benefit the GLoucester Public Schools and has brought more than 100 new programs to the schools for children of all ages.

Cape Ann YMCA’s 8^th Annual Taste of Cape Ann is NEXT THURSDAY

The most delicious fundraiser of the year is nearly here – it’s time to get your event ticket. Last year’s event included nearly three dozen food and beverage purveyors and nearly 300 guests!

The Cape Ann YMCA’s 8th Annual “Taste of Cape Ann” returns to Cruiseport Gloucester  on Thursday, November 10, from 6-9PM. The event features the best of Cape Ann eateries offering food, wine and spirits for one $25 ticket price with the proceeds of ticket sales going to support Cape Ann YMCA Teen Service Initiatives. 

The service trips enable local youth to spend a week working in communities hit by environmental and economic devastation.  Teens participate in learning modules before and after traveling on school break to offer hands-on aid in areas of great need.  The New Orleans Mission, now in its 6^th year, originated as a Cape Ann trip but has generated enough interest to cause its expansion to include youth throughout the North Shore YMCA system.

Taste of Cape Ann is:

A great place for locals to sample food and drink from their Cape Ann food choices

A great reason to get out and support kids doing good.

John Jerome will be keeping us chill with some great live music while Gloucester’s best eateries will be keeping us full and happy.

This is one hell of a post from Gordon Harris.  You think we’re all touristy now?  LOL.

We have a fraction of the rooms here in Gloucester than we did back when they were landing 50 or more times the fish here-

Now that the sun is rising earlier and the weather is getting colder it’s getting harder to think about getting up for sunrise!
