ATTENTION ALL INTERNATIONAL DORY RACING FUNDRAISER
Attention All!
The Gloucester International Dory Racing Committee will be hosting a fundraiser at the St. Peter’s Club Friday, May 20th at 6 pm. All are welcome to attend for a fun night of games, drinks, apps, music, dancing, and lots of cool items for raffles! Proceeds from the event will go towards the expansion of our program and offerings to the community which will allow our members to continue promoting maritime heritage, friendly competition, and fun. Not many people in our community are familiar with the history of Dory’s and how much importance they hold in the start of our fishing industry. Our goal is to educate people more about this cause and possibly even recruit new members to try a sport that represents the meaning of their hometown. So come join us for a fun night and help keep this tradition going strong! Tickets will be sold prior to the event for $10 or can be purchased at the door. For any questions about the fundraiser, to purchase tickets, or if you’d like to make donations for raffles please contact the following members. Hope to see a lot of you there!

Introducing Seniors Out & About – An LGBT Social Gathering
SeniorCare Inc. and North Shore Pride are pleased to announce the creation of a new program to provide social opportunities for Seniors in the LGBT community. “Seniors Out & About – An LGBT Social Gathering” will organize events for older LGBT people (60 years of age and older), their friends and family. The first event will take place on June 19, 2016 as a kick-off to North Shore Pride Week at the North Shore Music Theatre! Following Pride Week, there will be a Pot Luck Dinner in Rockport on June 26—watch for more information on the Pot Luck.
Seniors Out & About will attend the June 19, 2:00 p.m., show of FUNNY GIRL at the North Shore Music Theatre in Beverly. There will be a private reception following the show right outside the theater on the patio with snacks and refreshments. A limited number of discounted tickets (inner circle seats) are available for this event.
FUNNY GIRL tells the bittersweet story of Fanny Brice (played by Broadway veteran Shoshana Bean), whose vocal talents and comedic ability see her rise from Brooklyn music hall singer to the Ziegfeld Follies, then on to international fame, and her tempestuous relationship with gambler Nicky Arnstein.
For information and tickets to the June 19 show, go to www.seniorcareinc.org and click on the “Out & About” link or contact Kelly Knox at 978-281-1750 for additional information.

This coming Friday the Gloucester Area Astronomy Club will have Robert Naeye, former Editor in Chief of Sky & Telescope magazine, speaking about his recent trip out west to observe at the Mount Wilson 100 inch telescope, as well as his eclipse trip to Indonesia. Bob, who seems to travel a lot, is an old GAAC favorite, a talented speaker, and you won’t want to miss this fun, informative presentation.
If skies are clear we’ll be able to observe the skies a little bit after the meeting, catching sights of the early crescent moon and Jupiter and its moons. You won’t want to miss a chance to mingle with all your GAACster friends while munching on all your favorite GAACster goodies, and catching a fun GAAC presentation. A good time is guaranteed for all.
The Gloucester Area Astronomy Club meets at the Lanesville Community Center in the Lanesville neighborhood of Gloucester MA, at 8:00 pm on the second Friday of every month, for presentations, discussions and activities related to observational astronomy. Come see us! No special knowledge or equipment is needed to have a great time. There’s plenty of free parking, and plenty of fun conversation and good things to eat and drink. All are welcome.
