Martin Del Vechhio Will Be Doing Santa Photos
I will be doing portraits with Santa and Frosty again at this year’s East Gloucester Elementary School holiday fair. The fair is this Saturday, December 6th, from 10:00a to 2:00p.
Portraits are printed while you wait, for $10/sheet. A variety of picture packages are available, just like with school photos. They make awesome presents for grandparents, and even better gift tags. You can also get a high-resolution JPG image for $25, which you can use as a Christmas card.
Bring your kids, your pets, your parents, and your props!
All proceeds go to the EGS PTO. Don’t wait in line at the mall for a tired Santa and poor lighting; come to EGS!
Thanks!

Update: According to Mary Kay At @MaritimeGlou we’ve Got Ourselves a Vagina
Mary Kay from Maritime Gloucester writes in-
I’m going to go with Thetys vagina. That is the actual scientific name for the organism, not a joke. For more info see http://eol.org/pages/510608/overview.
Landed this morning at Captain Joe and Sons-
From eol.org-
I put out the challenge to see who could identify it first and Mary Kay from Mariotime Gloucester as usual kicked the New England Aquariums butt all over the place.
That’s Allota Fagina if I do say so myself.

Festival of the Trees in Manchester by the Sea
This is the second year of the Festival of the Trees in Manchester. The trees were set up and strung with lights today (Sunday) and will be decorated between 4:00 to 7:00 PM this Wednesday 12/03/2014. Trees are set up on the green in front of the Town Hall and are sponsored by Town merchants and groups within the Town like the Boy Scouts, the Athletic Association, the Hooper Trust and many others.
Last year there were a total of 24 trees decorated and lit. This year there are 45 trees! The official tree lighting ceremony will be next Sunday December 7th with the lighting of the Friendship Tree and the Festival of the Trees at 4:30pm. It would be wise to arrive early and get a good spot as if last year was any indication, this year will be an even larger celebration!
These will also be great times to walk through Town and finish, start, or develop ideas for Christmas presents as you walk by all the shops.

Lights of Love at Addison Gilbert Dec. 3rd
Addison Gilbert Hospital’s Seventh annual celebration of life and hope – Lights of Love – will be held on Wednesday, Dec. 3 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the hospital. Lights of Love was co-founded by Sue Kyle, who fought a courageous five-year battle with colon cancer. Together, Sue and her partner Shawn Wilson founded Lights of Love to ensure that Cape Ann residents could benefit from the comprehensive care provided by the cancer care team at AGH. Since 2008, Lights of Love has raised more than $116,000 to ensure access to high-quality cancer care for Cape Ann families and the 2,000 patients served each year at the Gorton’s Specialty and Cancer Care Center. This year’s goal is to raise $25,000 for cancer services, with proceeds supporting Addison Gilbert Hospital’s cancer program, including the provision of special care packages to new cancer patients. This year’s event will be presented in honor of Tina Ketchopulos.
For a chance to win an original 20×24 framed oil painting, “Schooner Races in Gloucester,” by renowned Cape Ann artist Ken Knowles, visit the web site listed below. All event proceeds support cancer care at Addison Gilbert Hospital, including special care packages to patients.
For more information or to make a donation, please visit addisongilbert.org/lightsoflove.
Writer’s Note: This is my special place is for cancer care, which I’ve written about extensively here and for my Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/BodinHistoricPhoto?sk=wall. I look forward to attending and also donating.
