Dystonia Margaritaville!

Return to Margaritaville! A Fun, fundraising event!

What better way to celebrate weary winter survival than to break out in song and dance and chow down on cheeseburgers and munchies? It’s even better if you can raise much-needed funds to find a cure for dystonia, the third most common neurological disease after essential tremor (neurological shaking with no known cause) and Parkinson’s disease.

Paula Gates has dystonia, which is a debilitating neurological movement disorder. She, her family and her friends now know more about the disorder than they could have ever imagined and they are experiencing its effects first hand through Paula Gates.

The mission of the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation is to advance research, promote awareness and education and to support the needs and wellbeing of affected individuals and their families Gates said.

So from a personal perspective, raising significant amounts of money for the DMR foundation is an important part of her life. It’s what has been motivating Paula, her husband Don and their friends to continue running the Return to Margaritaville freedom to move dance that initially raised $27,000 and has totaled more than $100,000 in four years.

The evening offers more than just fun food in a relaxing atmosphere, there will be dancing and excitement generated by DJ Chris Culkeen and lots of interesting favors and colorful decorations. The wine table and the always-requested themed tables, five or six of them, will again be part of the evening. They will include a beer table, a bar table, a Margarita table and a travel table.

Firefighter Chefs; the HEAT is on!

Firefighters throughout the North Shore trucked to the Danversport Yacht Club on Saturday night for the second annual Firefighters MDA Cooking for a Cure. Firefighters laid out an all-you-can-eat buffet, prepared by the area's best firehouse chefs. Hosted by the Marblehead Firefighters Local 2043, and firefighter Tim Doane in particular, the event attracted hundreds of people hungry for good, old-fashioned American cooking and eager to support the Muscular Dystrophy Association's fundraiser.

Danversport's Resident Seal

In the winter time it is not unusual for seals to bask themselves in the sun within our marina. Here are some photos that I took on Tuesday, February 22, 2011. We have affectionately named him Pauly, King of the Sea. Pauly spent the better part of the day getting some sun resting on the icepack between the docks. You can see the paths he made sliding along the ice. Upon my arrival on the dock Pauly looked up and checked me out for a few about 10 seconds and then went back to resting. I watched him for about 10 minutes and he wasn't the least bit interested or concerned about me being there. He was very calm and relaxed. We look forward to seeing him over the next few weeks and then he'll be heading out with the ice!
