Club News

Thank You Charlene Glynn for taking notes for this weeks Rotator!

I have received news that one of our active retired members passed away on Easter Sunday morning in Florida. Fred Hoffman was a member for many years and a club Past President in 1990-91.

Fred started up the Trust Department of the Cape Ann Savings Bank and was a well respected financial annalist. Retiring to Florida, Fred would spend the month of August in Gloucester visiting our club. Last summer due to his illness he could not make the trip for the first time. I sent him the Rotator every week and he appreciated the updates.

Last July Fred called and wished me good luck in my term as the new club president and he also informed me that he wanted to make a generous donation to the Stage Fort Park Playground.

I have sent a message to Fred's wife, who is also in a hospital, to ask what charity the club can send a memorial to. I will let you know when I hear.
