Please call Amy Sullivan at 978-236-1600 to sign up.

        September 23 is the date for the Gloucester / Rockport Rotary Golf Match.  This is highly significant grudge match (take no prisoners!) but it is all in fun.  Check with our chief Grudge Master David McKechnie and his two partners in crime, Bruce Horne and Bob Ryan, for details.
