| Please join Governor Deval Patrick at a local organizer’s home in downtown Gloucester at 4:30 p.m., this Wednesday, July 14.
This is an “organizer raiser,” not a fundraiser. To attend this very special event with ou r Governor, you need to recruit at least one new organizer between now and the event.
You can recruit an organizer either through the online organizing tool by clicking www.apebble.com or you can have someone sign a pledge card committing to be an organizer (if you need pledge cards please let Matt Patton know immediately). Once you have recruited your new organizer, please email Matt Patton mpatton@timmurray.org with the name of the new organizer by Tuesday, July 13. He’ll get back to you with the meeting details.
This is a unique opportunity to meet our Governor personally, in a small group setting.
Don’t let this chance slip away!

Tom Ostrowski poses with one of our new warning signs at Good Harbor Beach.
Tis the season...for ticks. The Gloucester Democratic City Committee (GDCC) Public Service Committee working in conjunction with the City of Gloucester Board of Health, has recruited volunteers from its membership to fan out over the city's fields and meadows to post signs to warn of the seasonal tick and mosquito threat.
The GDCC Public Service Committee Chair, Mike Wheeler, commented,"Ticks and mosquitos are a real problem this time of year, and we are delighted to help the Board of Health with this worthwhile project. It's a perfect example of the many things we do at the GDCC Public Service Committee to help the entire city of Gloucester."
The signs advise people entering grassy areas to:
- Wear long sleeves and pants (tuck pants into socks).
- Use insect repellent correctly.
- Avoid ticks by staying out of brush.
- Avoid mosquitos by limiting outdoor activity between dusk and dawn.
- Check everyone and all pets for ticks after being in a tick friendly area.
- Tick and mosquito bites can lead to serious illness.
- For more information, contact your Board of Health (978-281-9771).
Take care...beware.
