These photos are from Frank Ciolino (Thanks, Frank!) at the “Winter Races” fundraiser for Gloucester’s International Dory Races.

Committee President Jim Tarantino told me this morning that he’s estimating that the event raised $2000 towards the $30,000 needed for 4 new dories and the 2009 operating expenses.

Acknowledgment awards were presented to Sen. Bruce Tarr, R-Gloucester, the schooner Thomas E. Lannon and Gorton’s.

This is Joey Ciolino and Bill Edmonds trying their luck at the "DOLLAH HAULAH" Table ( Joey won $15 bucks) We lost count on how many Bill won!

Jim also wants everyone to know that his group not only coordinates  races held throughout the summer, but also provides free lessons and other educational programs for the city’s middle school children and others interested in dory rowing.
