Cape Ann Special Olympics Paint Nite

CAPE ANN SPECIAL OLYMPICS

We are hosting Paint Nite fundraiser Wednesday, February 10, 2016 at 7pm. As a new program we need to raise money to offset the cost of uniforms, gym time and equipment. Please show your support by indulging your creative side. Tickets to this event can be purchased on https://paintnite.com/events/936109.html

Through sport, Special Olympics is building communities of acceptance and inclusion for all people.

Food truck Fun

Richard Weissman, Business School Professor at Endicott College, and Peter Jenner, Chair, School of Hospitality Management at Endicott College, facilitated a brainstorming session with the Gloucester U Culinary class. Students broke into two teams and each designed a food truck, complete with concepts (one group decided on a waffle truck, and the other truck included dishes found at ball game concession stands such as hot dogs and popcorn) catchy names, fun menus, and usable interior truck designs.

It was a truly amazing opportunity to see a skilled artist in action!
