Give In Kind For Our Friend Chuck Shewbridge

https://www.giveinkind.com/inkinds/M8F8B9Z/support-and-love-for-chuck-and-julie-shewbridge?fbclid=IwdGRleAOlDcJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEelLGq9TBLvkRd06Fnml36YZSO6jKoixmI3qkSERG6wBOcQwQVwHE4dZxlgsU_aem_bXrfSZQA44H7DR8lNnGrTw

This page was organized to help support my mom, Julie, during this devastating time. As all of you know, Julie and Chuck are rarely seen apart. She continues to stand by his side while he is in the ICU and we’re hoping to lighten her burden a bit, while helping ensure she also takes care of herself. Having meals dropped off a couple times a week would would be a huge help (meal sign ups below), along with any gift cards for gas, food on the go, or other needs that arise while she is not working and traveling back and forth daily to the hospital. But most of all, we need prayers. Status Update: Chuck experienced a cardiac event on Sunday December 7th, while out to dinner with his wife Julie. CPR was performed right away on site, he was rushed to the hospital, and later transferred to the ICU at Lahey Medical Center in Burlington, MA. He was without oxygen for quite some time during the event and has continued to be unresponsive at this time. Doctors have stated his condition is very serious and at this point, we are taking it hour by hour, we are all staying hopeful and praying he will pull through.

Timeline: Cape Ann Screening – The Flying Santa

 ~ Sawyer Free Library ~ 

Timeline: Cape Ann Screening — The Flying Santa
Friday, December 19 | 3:00–4:00 PM
Community Room | Sawyer Free Library, 2 Dale Ave., Gloucester

The Sawyer Free Library is delighted to welcome Kory Curcuru of 1623 Studios for a special screening of Timeline: Cape Ann — The Flying Santa.

More than 90 years ago, a Maine pilot began a heartfelt tradition: air-dropping Christmas packages to lighthouse keepers and their families who guided him to safety. Over time, the route expanded to Cape Ann and eventually reached Coast Guard stations and lighthouses across the country. Remarkably, the Flying Santa tradition continues to this day.

This captivating film tells the story of one man’s generosity and the enduring spirit of community that helped shape Gloucester’s identity. A Q&A with Kory Curcuru will follow the screening.

This free public event is open to all. Registration is requested at sawyerfreelibrary.org.

A Little Indulgence For The Holiday Season

Perhaps you are a little bit like me in that you allow yourself a couple of small personal indulgences during the holiday season. You should! You deserve it. My own treat for myelf is this special version of peppermint bark body wash. I was so happy to see it in Walgreens so I picked it up quickly. I did notice the warning on the back which I find kind of hysterical but I guess companies cannot underestimate young children or other mindless adults. What is your favorite self indulgence over the holidays? Please share.

Even though the theme this year is “Your Favorite Children’s Book”, you can make anything for your entry.
