David Calvo shares the following event information for February 2025:

Curbside pick-up of CHRISTMAS TREES

Week of January 13th – 17th

Special curbside collection during January 13th through 17th, on your regular trash collection day. Trees are picked up in a separate truck and must be free of decorations, lights and tree stands. Have trees curbside by 7am. NO PLASTIC BAGS.

Trees in bags will NOT be picked up. Another option is to bring your tree to the Compost Facility.

It’s good for 5 years of travel.

There were four people in line for global entry. The line for people that didn’t have global entry was over 250 people deep.

This is just one flight. Sheer insanity not to get Global Entry.

Best meal we had here

Gusty…

I’d never been. How bout you?

If you don’t have the app you don’t get the reward. They put these free rewards out all year long including a free entree and dessert during your birthday month!

This is the notification I got this morning:

Even though the day was a bit grey and dreary, I still find immense beauty in places like the landing at Little River. Frigid but also breathtaking beauty.

GLOUCESTER MEETINGHOUSE, MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr. BIRTHDAY EVENT 2025
The Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation proudly presents its ninth annual
Martin Luther King, Jr. birthday event. It will be held on Monday, January 20th
at 2:00pm in the Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church, located at the corner
of Church and Middle Streets (GPS 50 Middle Street). An elevator is available
from the side door at 10 Church Street. No charge for admission but freewill
donations are gratefully received. For more information please visit:
www.gloucestermeetinghouse.org

This year’s program will honor Dr. King by featuring the work being done by two
local groups to reckon with history. Afterward, there will be a discussion about
how vernacular history gets written, “how the word is passed.” The program
will open with a recording of Martin Luther King, Jr. reading segments of
“Letters from Birmingham Jail.”

Joe Rukeyser from the Cape Ann Slavery and Abolition Project will present
recent research on abolition. Melissa Dimond of Wellspring House will follow
with that organization’s work on the Freeman Family, the prominent Black
family who called the Wellspring House home for over 100 years. Then Michea
McCaffrey, co-chair of the Gloucester Racial Justice Team, and Dick Prouty,
founder of TownGreen and board member of the Gloucester Meetinghouse
Foundation, will lead a discussion on critical points made by author Clint Smith
in his book How the Word is Passed. (It is not necessary to have read the book.)
The Paul Revere Bell in the Meetinghouse tower will be rung at the end as
people disperse onto the newly restored green.

ABOUT THE GMF: The mission of the Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation is to preserve the historic
1806 Meetinghouse, home of the Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church, as a civic hub,
entertainment venue and community gathering center. The GMF is a 501(c)(3) corporation modeled on
a similar nonprofit that preserves Boston’s famous Old North Church.

Hi! We did a prank on our husbands at Cape Ann Lanes this past weekend and the video is going viral on TikTok (88k views as of today)! We thought maybe you’d want to share it on the Facebook page so others could enjoy. I made the video myself so no issue with copyright or anything like that. Let me know if you’d like any additional info!

Thanks,

Rachael Deary

As more come in I’ll add them to the mix!

From Cape Ann Museum:

Free and open to the public
Celebrate the fish city’s recognizably salty character with local cultural institutions and businesses during the 4th Annual Gloucester’s So Salty festival on January 25 and 26, 2025 from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm! Over 1,800 people came out last year to share their salty pride while enjoying free ice sculptures and cultural activities around Downtown Gloucester.
The Cape Ann Museum is partnering with Discover Gloucester and several local cultural institutions and businesses to offer two full days of free programming in the coldest part of the year. Inspired by the annual Salem’s So Sweet event, this two-day event will include ice sculptures, live music, salty treats, free kids’ art activities, and much more.

Please send me your promos and I’ll add you.

Way more programming to be announced in the coming days!

Cold Front…
