Scuttlebutt October 18, 2020

 

This Tuesday Andrew Petty the Director of Public Health will share with us information about the Marblehead response to Covid and other health concerns in our town. 

Voting:  Early voting is happening NOW at Abbot Hall for all precincts.  See times below for early voting.  If you have a mail-in-ballot you can fill it out (be sure to sign all the places it needs to be) then you can put it in the red box outside Abbot Hall.  That might be more secure than putting it in the post.  

FOUNDATION FUN from your Foundation Committee

 

Through January, the Scuttlebutt will include fun facts and questions about the Foundation. In February, when we're all snowed in and bored, Harbor club members will receive a brief "test," and prizes will be awarded to first, second, and third place winners. Rules - there are none! It is "open book" and you may call on friends...In case of a tie, the Four Way Test will be applied. 

 

Reminder: During the upcoming months, even amidst the challenges of the pandemic, the Foundation and your contributions will still be funding the education of children and young adults, the supply of desperately needed medical equipment, polio vaccine, and clean water around the world, the advancement of peace and conflict resolution, environmental initiatives, and seed monies for community development.
