The process will take two to three weeks, maybe longer.BUT we are NOT closing either lot and we only expect minor disruptions to service..

folks may be redirected to use different lot entrances and exits depending on where the crews are on any given day...

At most- we may experience a handful of days where drivers are rerouted toalternate entrances and exits, but the lot itself will still be open and accessible toeveryone.

Silent Auction toBenefit WOMR

A colorful handmade quilt will benefitCape Cod’s only community radio station

An exquisite quilt, handmade by textile artist Julia Willecke, is

being auctioned off by WOMR, the community radio station announced today. The quilt is a joyous riot of rainbow colors with a subdued elegant backing and measures four by five feet. It isvalued at $500, with an opening bid of $200 and a minimum $25 bid thereafter.“We are so fortunate to have such talented artists on the Cape and as part of our WOMR family,” says JohnBraden, WOMR’s executive director. “We’re delighted at Julia’s generous gift and hope it will generate a lot ofenergy—and bids! Whoever takes this home will be very lucky, and very warm.”WOMR recently announced its capital improvement campaign’s goals were met through communityparticipation and grants. The campaign to modernize, upgrade, and replace the broadcasting infrastructurewas successful and the studio upgrades are in process. However, none of those monies covers the station’songoing operating expenses, which rely heavily on membership pledges and events. Proceeds from the quiltauction will go toward those expenses.Bidding for the quilt is now open at www.womr.org and will close on December 16, 2019, at 3:00pm EST.

SPECIAL TOWN MEETING TO TAKE PLACE ON DEC. 2The Select Board voted Monday to hold a special town meeting to consider the Fire Department’s proposal touse the former Veterans of Foreign Wars land for a new substation. The fire engineers would like the land tobe used for a new police station, a future Fire Department substation and for an outdoor training facility.

Events over the past year, including a flood in January, have shown that there’s a need for more resources atthe fire station, including new trucks, more bunks and more space to train, Trovato said. One of the majorreasons a substation is needed is the lack of space at the current station at 25 Shank Painter Road. Trovatosaid when they have extra firefighters from other towns come to help, they are often left sleeping in crampedlocations including air mattresses on the floor.

“These people are willing to come here and they’re willing to do shifts for us but we have to have theaccommodations for them,” Trovato said. “It’s just not a very healthy way for these people to be living.”Back in 2016, the Select Board voted to use the former VFW property for affordable housing and explore theidea of making the land across the street at 16 Jerome Smith Road into a police station. Taxpayers shotdown that initial proposal because it would cost $12.5 million.

Then, in June, Trovato submitted a letter to the Select Board asking it to reconsider the use of the land. Allmembers of the fire department had signed the letter but it was not initially read into the public record. Now,the fire engineers have gathered more than 200 signatures in order to call for the special town meeting totake place on Dec. 2.

Provincetown 400 today announced that the Boston Gay Men’s Chorus has been added to the program of events inSeptember 2020, to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower Pilgrims first landing in the new world inProvincetown in 1620.

On September 13, 2020, the Boston Gay Men’s Chorus, featuring up to 200 members, will arrive in Provincetown viaferry and will perform three selections that reflect the occasion during a ceremony to honor the Mayflower Pilgrims.An estimated 2,000 members of the General Society of Mayflower Descendants will attend a ceremony inProvincetown Harbor where they will lay a wreath in the Harbor to honor their ancestors. There will be a re-enactment of the signing of the Mayflower Compact, followed by a “Pilgrims Procession” by the GSMD, escorted bymembers of King Hiram’s Lodge of the Provincetown Masons and the New Plimmoth Gard who will march fromProvincetown Harbor to the Pilgrim Monument where they will have lunch.

“We’re honored to participate in marking the historic arrival in Provincetown of the Pilgrims, who were seeking thefreedom to worship and live as they chose, and to honor the Native People who were already here,” said CraigCoogan, executive director of Boston Gay Men’s Chorus. “Provincetown has long been a beacon of freedom for ourcommunity and we look forward to celebrating its unique place in history.”

It was in Provincetown Harbor where the Pilgrims signed the Mayflower Compact, the first governing document ofcolonial America. The ceremony will take place near the Mayflower II replica, which will be berthed in ProvincetownHarbor from September 10-14.
