Our friends at Minglewood Harborside on Rogers St recently introduced their fall menu so I decided to go there to “cash in” my Serenitee birthday rewards (FREE entree and FREE dessert). I also wanted to redeem some of the reward points I have earned over the last several months. Win Win.

The new menu items are very appealing to Jim and I. I ordered the Orange Chicken and Jim got Lo Mein. I loved the chicken though I will let you know it’s on the spicy side. (Only one tissue meal for my runny nose.) I had Jeanne’s sangria (perfecto) to accompany the meal. For dessert I ordered the Chocolate Chip Cookie Sundae which we gobbled up faster than my camera could capture, darn it because it was a beauty.

When you sign up for Serenitee Rewards, you are gifted a free entree and dessert at any Serenitee restaurant. You have a few weeks near your birthday to cash them in so it’s really a no-brainer to sign up. Plus you earn points each time you go to a Serenitee establishment and you can apply those at any future meal. I like to build my points up and then cash it in to celebrate. I suggest you sign up ASAP!

Gloucester’s Holiday Parade is on once again after a 2-year Covid hiatus. The parade will kick off on Sunday, November 27^th, at 3:00 pm from the State Fish Pier. The parade route travels down Parker Street to Main Street, and then down Western Avenue to the Tree Lighting Ceremony at Kent Circle. 

Organizers are looking for floats, groups of enthusiastic marchers, school groups and musical entertainment. The only requirement is that the entry have a holiday theme. Entrants will be eligible to win a first, second or third place trophy. Mayor Greg Verga will lead the judge’s float this year. 

This year’s Grand Marshals are going to be the 60 members of the Gloucester Rotary Club, who will be celebrating 100 years of service to our Gloucester community.

The parade will end up at Kent Circle for the Gloucester Tree Lighting Ceremony which will take place at dusk. Following that, Santa will be available in his sleigh for picture taking.

Please contact Joe Ciolino at the Weathervane at 978-281-1227 to register for the parade.

Hello,

I’m not sure if your blog is an appropriate spot for this, but I figured I’d give it a shot. I coach the Gloucester High School baseball team and I like to get the players involved in things outside of baseball. Last year, we collected over 700 pounds of food to donate to the Open Door in one day. 

I am wondering if you could mention that players will be driving around Gloucester on Thursday 11/17 after school to collect bags/boxes of donatable (non-perishable, peanut butter, cereal, canned goods, soups, pastas, etc.) foods. All people have to do is email their name and address to rgentile2@gloucesterschools.com and I will send them a reminder email the week of. 

No worries if this is not something you can or want to do, just figured I would ask! Have a great day.
