Christmas on Main -Things To Do At Art Haven!

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

From Dawn Gadow At Art Haven-

Hi Joey,
First, there’s a copy of the full schedule for the middle street walk.
I’m not sure if anyone has gotten this to you yet, but it would be
great if you could get it out there for people to see. Also, I’ve
attached our flier about the stuff that we’re doing on the 12th. And
finally, you should try to make it down sometime this week and check
out The Hive–they’re almost completely moved in now and it’s looking
really awesome 🙂 Hope all is well. The cookie contest looked pretty
awesome and successful, I stopped in for a few minutes. Thanks as
always for all you do and hopefully I’ll see you soon!
Dawn

See and Read Shakespeare
The library will air the BBC production of “Much Ado About Nothing” on Sunday, November 29, at 2pm. This play offers both the wit of the “merry war” between the sexes and a sobering vision of the costs of that combat for both men and women. Shakespeare dramatizes a social world in all of its vibrant particulars, in which characters are shaped by the relations between social convention and individual choice. A discussion of the play will take place when the Shakespeare Readers group meets on Monday, November 30, at 4pm.

Sunday, November 29
Gloucester’s Santa Parade & Tree Lighting
Downtown Gloucester. Parade begins at 3pm at the State Fish Pier, running through Main Street and ending at the Boulevard for the Annual Tree Lighting at Kent Circle (at about 4:30pm).

CHAMBER BUSINESSWOMEN’S HOME TOUR- Saturday, November 21

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

CHAMBER BUSINESSWOMEN’S HOME TOUR –
“HOMES FOR THE HOLIDAYS”

Fabulous homes in the Annisquam and Rowley Shore area of Gloucester will be open to the public on Saturday, November 21, for a self guided tour from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Some of these beautiful homes will be professionally decorated for the holidays. “Homes for the Holidays” is a program of the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce Businesswomen’s Division.

The Home Tour is being planned by the Businesswomen to support the Carolyn O’Connor Scholarship. Named for the first Chairperson of this active Chamber group, the scholarship benefits a woman who is changing careers or returning to the workforce after an absence and is in need of further education. The Businesswomen have given out four $1,000 scholarships since it was created in 2006. The group is hoping to raise enough funds to either increase the scholarship amount or the number of scholarships for 2010.

Tickets are $25.00 in advance and $30.00 on the day of the tour. Actual tickets and a map showing the location of the homes can be picked up on the day of the tour at the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce, 33 Commercial Street, Gloucester between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Contact the Chamber office at 978-283-1601 to order your advance tickets.
