Gloucester’s Unitarian Universalist Church is about to become handicapped-accessible, for the first time in its 206-year history. Platform-lift elevators are being installed and an outdoor ramp is already in place, to make it easy for everyone to access this historic building! To help pay the bills, the church is conducting an online Bidding for Good auction, starting Thursday, Sept 20, and ending on Sunday, Sept. 30. More than 150 items are on auction, from fine art to good eating, to fuel oil, to a Red Sox No. 34 jersey signed by David Ortiz (size XXL)! Start your Christmas shopping now. Go to www.gloucesteruu.org and then click where it says “View Our Auction Here.” Please bid! And pass the word!
And, oh, yes – come visit us during Trails & Sails weekend – tours are on Friday and Saturday at 10, 1, and 3 – and on Sunday at 1, 2, and 3. And on Saturday, come hear some great sea chantey singing by Baggywrinkle and Three Sheets to the Wind – part of the Captain’s Courageous festival!
About E.J.
Artist, researcher, spiritual traveler of this fascinating orb we inhabit, lover of life and all it has to offer.
Hi everyone out there in GMG land. My name is Ellen “E.J.” Lefavour (a/k/a “Ejay Khan” – the pseudonym I used during my years as a political activist artist). I am a newcomer to Cape Ann, and thrilled to be a new contributor to Good Morning Gloucester. I am a painter and photographer who has lived and worked as an artist for 20 years, since leaving the corporate world in 1990 to pursue my passion. My contributions to GMG will consist of images (either my paintings, photographs, or the occasional video) and a little history about the image, called “Did you Know?” I hope to come up with tidbits of information that people don’t already know, or had forgotten they knew. As I am new here, everything is new and fascinating to me, especially the amazing history, so bear with me if I post something that is common knowledge – I’ll eventually come up with something that’s new to you. Please take a minute to comment on my posts, like them or not, especially if you have corrections or something to add, as that is how I, and all of us, learn. Have a Good Morning Gloucester, and a blessed day.
