BAKE SALE & FLEA MARKET FOR ST. FRANCIS HOUSE

The North End Friends of St. Francis House will hold our 6th annual Bake Sale and Flea Market on Friday March 19th and Saturday March 20th at the Nazzaro Community Center at 30 North Bennet St.  The event will go from 8am to 6pm on Friday and 10am to 2pm on Sat.  We will have all kinds of homemade baked goods and wonderful pastries and cookies from all of the bakeries and pastry shops in the neighborhood.   We will also have Mary Romano’s world famous eggplant sandwiches, meatball and sausage sandwiches.

We will also have tons of great flea market items for you to buy.  We will also be collecting spare change.  No amount is too small (or too big).  If you would like to send in a donation, make checks payable to St. Francis House and mail to John Romano 247 Burlington Avenue, Wilmington, Mass. 01887.  All of the proceeds we raise those two days and collect ahead of time will be matched by an anonymous donor, so your donation counts twice as much as you give.  For more information call John Romano at (617) 880-9901 or e-mail at patjr@comcast.net.

Neighborhood News
The original idea for this website was to report on public meetings that impact the neighborhood with the goal of encouraging participation and transparency. These issues are literally happening on our own streets and we should all pay attention and take part!

A tremendous amount of information is presented and discussed at local meetings and events. Other than a handful of active participants, most of the neighborhood has no idea what is going on. The major Boston newspapers have cut back on nearly all neighborhood reporting and the community papers are also struggling. The investigative reporters that previously attended public meetings are simply not there anymore.

This blog is an attempt to inform and comment on the “micro-news” and “goings on” that make living in our unique and historic neighborhood so special. I also post information of interest from various neighborhood groups and community organizations. A list of upcoming meetings and events is listed on the Calendar.

Views via Commentary
As is the nature of blogs, I occasionally share ‘my views’ or two cents on various issues where I feel my opinion can add perspective. I do not feel the need remark on everything, but you will notice editorial comments here and there.

In addition, I welcome contributions from others in the community. Discussion is encouraged through the comments section that is available for each article or you can start your own thread on the Forum.

Views via Photos
We live in a fabled and historic neighborhood with incredibly fascinating streets, parks, plazas, statues, buildings and an intricate waterfront. Through photos, this website will show off these amazing views. Photos are also an important part of many articles to add a visual element of the meeting or event.

DISCLOSURES

NorthEndWaterfront.com is a non-commercial community website. I do not get paid or sell advertising.

Who is Matt Conti?
I am the founder and editor of NorthEndWaterfront.com. I have lived in the North End/Waterfront area for nearly all of the past 15 years (I left briefly, missed the neighborhood and moved back). I am involved in several neighborhood groups and attend many public meetings, although I do not represent or speak on behalf of any particular organization. My “day job” is with Fidelity Investments which has no part in this website and nothing on this site should reflect any position of that firm.
