Rockport expands it’s 2016 Rockport @ Night! This event was so well received last year we’ve decided to step it up and do EVERY Friday Night throughout downtown Rockport. Just look for the “Hanging Lanterns with the Gold imprinted Ribbons” at participating Shops and Galleries…

Every Friday night beginning MAY 27th, through Sept. 2nd. Downtown galleries and shops open their doors from 4-8pm and then some… for a “Rockport @ Night” event. The town’s merchants welcome you with light refreshment, wine, and beverage while you enjoy the renowned talents of this creative Art Colony. See art demos, music, and visit the unique shops. Come celebrate as they illuminates it’s streets, and enjoy the ambiance that only Rockport can offer. Meet with the artists and shopkeepers and tour their galleries. Artists will be on hand to take questions from visitors.

Come share the history and hospitality of this seaside community, as you stroll through the streets of beautiful downtown Rockport.

North Shore Swim Club is accepting children into their swim team programs at Gordon College. The Spring session is May 2- June 19, 2016. North Shore is a USA swimming club that offers programs for children ages 5-18. Preteam practices are twice per week for 30 minutes for children who need stroke development. Junior practices are 2-3 practices a week for 60 minutes, while learning the latest techniques of all four competitive strokes and the fundamentals of starts and turns. An age group swimmer is asked to make 3-4 practices per week for 90 minutes as they learn how to increase the proficiency of their starts, turns and of all four strokes, while also giving the swimmer a base for aerobic conditioning. The competitive senior program is for swimmers who are asked to make 5-6 practices a week for 90 minutes, while seeking stroke improvement, aerobic conditioning and the fundamentals of race strategy.

NSSC does not have tryouts, but space is limited. Swimmer evaluations and placements will be during the first week of practice, guaranteeing your children are placed in the appropriate practice level. To learn more about North Shore Swim Club, please see our website atwww.northshoreswimclub.com. or contact Coach Tony Padvaiskas at tonypad@aol.com ,(978)314-5445.

PACE medical model of care program tour with Senator Bruce Tarr and State Rep. Ann-Margaret Ferrante

Hi Joey,

I just wanted to send you some pictures from today’s tour of the PACE medical model of care program with Senator Bruce Tarr and State Rep. Ann-Margaret Ferrante.  They both are going to lobby for the PACE at Element Care program and advocate for our seniors when the “Preserving Access to PACE Act” comes out at the State House next week.  We are very fortunate to have such caring legislators doing such good work for us!

I would encourage anyone who has medical needs or is a caregiver who is looking to keep their loved one home and out of a hospital or nursing home setting, to come to us at PACE in Gloucester to see if we can assist them.  We are a non-profit healthcare care organization who’s mission is to keep people living in the community safely and independently for as long as possible with our comprehensive healthcare services, all covered by MassHealth & Medicare, for those 55 and over.  If anyone would like more information or a tour, please call me at 978-283-7375.  We are located next to Pathways for Children, across the street from the Open Door.

Thanks Joey!
