The East Gloucester “Plastic Pick it Up” club is kicking off the summer with neighborhood lemonade stands. All the proceeds go towards initiatives to help rid Gloucester of plastic pollution. Last year they donated the amazing sum of $540.00 to the Cape Ann Maritime Partnership (CAMP) to help purchase a Seabin and Marine Skimmer, marine technologies designed to clean up oil and plastic garbage.

When you see one of their pop up lemonade stands, stop for a delicious glass of homemade lemonade and donate what you can. Thank you!

MONARCH DAY! STARRING THE EAST GLOUCESTER NEIGHBORHOOD GANG

Pilar Monarch Day ©Kim Smith 2015Pilar has started a new fashion trend, Monarchs as hair accessory.

Enchanted by Monarchs!  We had a fantastic day filmmaking, thanks to Emma, Pilar, Frieda, Annie Kate, Lotus, April, Elijah, Esme, Charlie, Atticus, and last but not least, Meadow. And an extra huge thank you to all the moms and dads for not minding the early morning wake up calls and texts to let the kids know the butterflies were emerging! I was tied up filming and so wish I’d taken more stills.
