Ron Beckley of Gloucester, who specializes in disaster services technology, has been deployed to New Jersey To Aid In disaster relief after Hurricane Sandy
Red Cross volunteers deployed after Hurricane Sandy
From the American Red Cross-
American Red Cross volunteers from Eastern Massachusetts, after working in our communities during Hurricane Sandy, are accepting deployments to states devastated by the superstorm.
Ron Beckley of Gloucester, who specializes in disaster services technology, has been deployed to New Jersey.
Disaster Services Technology specialists are responsible for all the technology that is deployed on disaster relief operations. DST volunteers set up satellites where all phone and internet services have been disrupted, they set up computer services in remote locations for Red Cross caseworkers and often have to repair equipment in crisis situations.
The American Red Cross has mobilized more than 14,900 disaster workers from all over the country who have supported relief efforts. Volunteers have served more than 7.6 million meals and snacks so far, and have handed out more than 5.5 million relief items.
Ron Beckley, in accepting this deployment, is gaining more experience working with Red Cross experts throughout the U.S. When he returns to Massachusetts, his knowledge will help better inform our efforts, and help make our local region stronger.
Many in your community want to know how to help. They could train to become disaster volunteers, or fund this long-term relief effort by calling 1-800-REDCROSS or visiting RedCross.Org.

Business and Twitter (and Facebook)
There are a couple of business owners that God Bless them are embracing Facebook and Twitter to promote their companies.
This is a good thing.
What many don’t realize though is that if your Twitter feed or Facebook page is nothing but a bunch of ads and you retweet and repost them every hour that you are doing damage to your brand.
Once people realize that all you do is feed them ads for your product or service all day they will either unfollow you or breeze right over your tweets without ever clicking through because they know ultimately they’re really not going to get a payback in the form of something interesting but what they will be getting is yet another one of your advertisements about you. Yes I understand that YOU are the most important person in YOUR life but to the reader on twitter or Facebook try to engage the reader with something that will be a payoff for THEM.
Retweet other interesting things that are happening in your area, things that speak to you or you agree with and let your personality shine through your Twitter or Facebook presence. People don’t want to get hammered over the head with ads all day long. Be judicious with your self promoting. I’m not saying it’s not important. What I’m saying is to be more effective, maybe make every 5th tweet about your goods or services instead of 100%.
I guarantee you will be more successful in your marketing efforts. Be natural, be you and let it shine on through. Don’t be afraid to promote others you find interesting and they will be more likely to help you in your efforts to show the world how truly awesome YOU are.
Thank you.
A couple examples of people who are really interesting tweeters and marketers are my friends @JMcElhenny an @DscvrGlstr If you look at their twitter feed it’s not just straight up advertisements marketing themselves. They tweet and retweet intersting things around them and their personality shines through.
If you’re wondering if it’s you I’m talking about, step back, pull up your twitter feed and ask yourself if you are just hammering the shit out of people with advertisement about yourself after advertisement about yourself.

November 26, 2012 | I lived near Cape Ann for most of the last 15 years of the 20th century, and have to get back now and then.
Few places in the US are as connected to the water as Cape Ann, whether it be churches in Gloucester,

Gloucester Based Ad Agency Bait and Tackle Has Entered A Couple Of Commercials Into The Superbowl Doritos Contest
Check ‘Em Out and Give Them As Many Stars As Possible!
Chad Carlberg writes-
We made a couple of commercials for the Doritos Crash the Superbowl contest. GRANDMA starring Taylor Fitzgerald. Lucked out and got her with waivers from SAG and AFTRA. Actually, like the star of PURITANS, Taylor’s my neighbor. She has no acting experience! Missed her calling.
GRANDMA IS HERE: http://apps.facebook.com/crashthesuperbowl?page=watch&video=2699
PURITANS is currently ranked 6th in overall ratings. Good. Keep it up. Rate on, friends! Stars Erin Streeter, my OTHER neighbor. Unlike Taylor Erin has acted quite a bit, though not since the 8th grade play. But as a hungover tour guide for Syracuse as a student, she was well suited for the part. Mark Stevick and I wrote and directed this one together.

Three Generations of Lovely Ladies Represent! at Bodin Historic Photo
Fred Bodin writes-
Saturday night I had a visit from these wonderful women, all from Cambridge and the North Shore. L-R: Lauren (granddaughter from Reading), Elaine (daughter hailing from Newburyport), Jean Ann (the Mom, from Lynnfield), Lynn (daughter on Rocky Neck), and Charlene (daughter in Cambridge). When I asked them to gather for a photo, they spontaneously picked up Jack Sullivan’s 48" gold leafed Cod. So Gloucester! They’re now friends of GMG and you’ll see them at my gallery events.
Good Morning Gloucester
