I had to step down from the Block Party Committee due to time constraints but am whole heartily looking forward to enjoying them. Wishing my buddies on the committee the absolute best and looking forward to the fun times they put on for us all to enjoy!
Update From Erika Hansen-
A Highland Tradition comes to Main Street!
From the beautiful and vivavious Jennifer Goulart Amero comes this fabulous addition to the block party entertainment lineup:
Emerald Rae & her mate Sean Connors will perform a highland tradition called “busking” from 6p-7p. They will start at one end of Main Street and play along the way.
They will cap this off with a performance (and feel free to join the dancing!) in front of Sovereign Bank at 7p.
And remember Emerald Rae’s performance comes on the heels (pun intended!) of Kristen McCarthy, the tribal fusion bellydancer.
How cool is that?
Another Update from Erika hansen 6/18/10
One of the organizations that approached us to have a presence at Block party is the Nora Ruchman Scholarship Fund. Friends of Nora, a beautiful young woman whom we lost tragically this Spring, will have a table at block party near the former Empire building with information from the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. They will be selling bracelets with Nora’s name for the Nora Ruchman Scholarship Fund and raising money for an upcoming walk in Boston: The Out of the Darkness Overnight, an 18-mile journey through the night, from dusk until dawn. Organizers say it’s a unique opportunity to bring the issues of depression and suicide into the light as people walk together to turn heartbreak into hope for tomorrow.While block party is all about fun, it’s also all about community and this community has lost too many of our own to suicide. Nora’s friends want to make sure we don’t lose anyone else this way. So we hope you’ll stop by the table and learn more.
Good Morning Gloucester
