SeniorCare Inc.’s recently established program “Seniors Out & About – An LGBT Social Gathering” organizes events for older LGBT people (60 years of age and older), their friends and family. Our next event will be a Lecture and Tour of Gloucester’s Beauport, Sleeper McCann House on Thursday, September 29, 2016. The private museum tour will begin at 5:30 p.m. at Beauport, located at 75 Eastern Point Blvd in Gloucester. Following the Tour, there will be a lecture at 7:30 p.m. at the Rocky Neck Cultural Center at 6 Rocky Neck Avenue in Gloucester. Join us for an interesting look into the history of one of Gloucester’s most unique treasures, the Beauport Museum, which was known as a “Bachelor’s House” in the early twentieth century, a coded reference to a homosexual household or homeowner.

Tickets for the tour and lecture are $15 per person. Advance registration is required. For information, contact Kelly Knox at 978-281-1750 or Kelly.knox@seniorcareinc.org. For more information on SeniorCare’s programs for seniors throughout the North Shore, go to www.SeniorCareInc.org.

Willie Alexander and the Raztones in Free Concert, Friday, August 5, 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm

Corner of Middle and Church Streets, Gloucester, MA

From the Lost, a 60′s garage-band that made a couple of records for Capitol, to the psychedelic late-60′s Bagatelle, to a brief stint in the post-Lou Reed Velvet Underground, the Boom Boom Band in the punk 70′s, which recorded for MCA, to an introspective take on the 80′s recording for the French label New Rose, and renewed band energy in the 90′s with the Persistence of Memory Orchestra, Willie has maintained a consistently high level of emotional and artistic integrity.

This is concert five in a series of nine free outdoor concerts presented by the Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation.   The family-friendly concert begins at 6 pm. Bring a picnic, folding chairs or blankets. In case of rain, the event will take place inside the Meetinghouse (no food or drink permitted inside.) 

The Angel Opioid Program (P.A.A.R.I.) is the nationally acclaimed program started in Gloucester by Chief of Police Leonard Campanello.  Donations to this innovative and courageous program to help combat the epidemic of drug addiction will be gratefully accepted during the concert.
