Scott Chernov was happy to be planning his wedding on June 15th of this year. Scott and fiancée have chosen the gazebo at Stage Fort Park as the place for the ceremony. Scott, just a tip - make sure you reserve June 15 with the City Clerk’s office so you do not bump into another wedding or a Rotary paint crew!

David McKechnie was happy to be all moved, and vowed never to move again.

Club News
On January 30th at 7pm, Jeanne Blake will have a viewing of the video “When Talking With Kids About Alcohol” and a discussion afterward. Our club has donated $500.00 toward purchasing enough videos for all of the Gloucester Schools, in addition to the accompanying books, plus help in sponsoring the evening’s events.
As you remember, Jeanne visited us and showed a portion of the video we purchased. Everyone is encouraged to pop in on the 30th at the Gloucester High School Auditorium and see just how our money is being utilized for such a worthwhile project.
Steve Kaity will be giving a full report of the next fundraiser. The event will be a shopping spree at Shaw’s on Eastern Avenue.
