Haven’t heard of this year’s film? Take it from the Museum of Modern Art on Scorsese’s “small, deeply personal documentary”:
“In three–quarters of an hour, the three manage to cover a great deal of ground, most notably the parents’ experiences growing up in the rough-and–tumble New York tenements during the early years of the twentieth century…
Scorsese and his mother moving into the kitchen for a quick lesson on how to make tomato sauce—or “gravy,” as Catherine (and an entire generation of Italian Americans) would call it.”

The City of Gloucester leads an annual effort to monitor the migration of returning adult alewives as they migrate from the ocean to Lily Pond and the Little River to spawn. Volunteers that count fish help us understand when and how many fish travel upstream every year. River herring provide important forage for cod, bluefish, tuna and striped bass, which are important fish for the City of Gloucester.
Volunteers needed!
Thanks to the City of Gloucester, NOAA Fisheries, the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries and Sumco for supporting this restoration project and monitoring.

Deborah Trickett of the Captured Garden, will present a Jaw-Dropping Container Demonstration. Two containers will be demonstrated and raffled. Deborah Trickett is the owner of the Captured Garden (http://thecapturedgarden.com/). First, she will demonstrate some unique and beautiful container gardens with a power point lecture. Next, she will create 2 container gardens as we observe her design choices and technique. Deborah designs these to be beautiful, and anything but typical. She showcases uncommon plants and creates combinations that are anything but cookie cutter. At the end of the program, we will have a chance to win her two designs. Guests are welcome, there is a $5 fee for non-members.
