LETTER TO THE COMMUNITY Dear Friends, We are 146 years strong and so very proud of our great history! Today we celebrate this past year’s successes where we served more than 50,000 people and were able to provide over $1.7 million in financial assistance and program subsidies to our children, youth and families. We continue to create new ways to have a greater impact and remain relevant in the communities that we serve. Over this past year we have joined together with Ys across the country to better deliver our programs and to share our mission. We introduced our new logo and we have become much more focused in the delivery of our programs and services using the Y’s three focus areas – Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility. Our work has not changed, yet we have become better at communicating our impact and outcomes. By sharing our cause and enhancing our partnerships we will have greater reach throughout the 41 diverse communities that we serve in Central Massachusetts. We have strengthened our focus for Youth Development through our Early Education and After School programs where we promote individual and academic achievement. We enriched our youth programming to keep our teens safe, engaged and encouraged. We continue to help youth discover who they are and all that they can be. We have strengthened our focus for Healthy Living by committing to teaching our members and others how to live longer and healthier lives by being active and engaged. We have strengthened our focus for Social Responsibility by continuing to give back to our community and by providing support to our neighbors. Together we Strengthen the Foundations of our Community and remain committed to our men, women, and children to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive at the Y regardless of age, income or background. We are so thankful for all of you - our donors, volunteers and staff as well as our members and community partners, all of whom enable our Y to make a real difference in the lives of so many. With great appreciation, Kathryn Zingg Hunter David Woodbury President/CEO Chairman YMCA of Central Massachusetts Board of Directors ANNUAL RECOGNITION EVENT On November 4, 2010, the YMCA of Central Massachusetts celebrated its Annual Recognition Event at our Boroughs Family Branch. This event honors our outstanding youth and adult volunteers from each of our three branches who have contributed in very special ways throughout the year to the mission of our Y. Our 2010 Honorees were recognized in the following categories: “Youth of the Year” and “Volunteers of the Year” recognize both our youth and adult leaders, who over the course of the year, have participated in very meaningful ways and each providing a positive impact on their respectful branches. “Diversity & Inclusion” recognize an individual, group, strategic partnership or program for exceptional efforts in nurturing and supporting an environment that reflects, respects and celebrates our differences and embraces the richness of our diversity. The highest honor given each year is the Chairman’s Award; presented to a member of the YMCA community who has had a positive and significant impact on the Y. This year, the Chairman’s Award recipient was Katherine Hessel, Vice President of Human Resources at Small Business Service Bureau, Inc. Kathy was honored for her passion, commitment and dedication to the YMCA of Central Massachusetts. With over 10 years of service as a volunteer leader, she is highly regarded by her volunteer peers at the Y – all noting her compassion, calmness, reason, and diplomacy. She stands out as a true volunteer leader. Kathy is always willing to lend her time, support, advice and expertise as an active member of our Board of Directors. She also chairs both our Human Resources and Board Governance Committees and serves on the Executive Committee, the Diversity & Inclusion Committee, and the Annual Strong Kids Campaign Committee. Honored by her appointment, Kathy explained, that she is “truly inspired by the work of the Y and the people it serves. Surrounded by like-minded, committed volunteers and staff, it is impossible not be MOTIVATED!” Kathy approaches each role as a volunteer not as a task, but as an honor, and where she is always respected for her contribution and her fellow volunteers and staff alike. “Careful, thoughtful and deliberate – Kathy truly embodies the mission of the Y – she compliments the team with a true spirit of cooperation – she approaches each task with a wealth of experience and expertise – and she contributes at the highest level leading all efforts to successful outcomes. Kathy is the YMCA and we are so proud of her work.” -David Woodbury, Chair of the YMCA of Central Massachusetts Board of Directors RECOGNITION VOLUNTEER MELISSA COOKE JUDY EATON ZHONG YU YOUTH OF THE YEAR VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR DIVERSITY & INCLUSION BOROUGHS FAMILY BRANCH BOROUGHS FAMILY BRANCH BOROUGHS FAMILY BRANCH SHALISE JAMES LOWELL ALEXANDER SANDRA VELAZQUEZ YOUTH OF THE YEAR VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR DIVERSITY & INCLUSION CENTRAL COMMUNITY BRANCH CENTRAL COMMUNITY BRANCH CENTRAL COMMUNITY BRANCH MARITZA CRUZ EMILY KEEVAN ANDREW LI DIVERSITY & INCLUSION YOUTH OF THE YEAR YOUTH OF THE YEAR CENTRAL COMMUNITY BRANCH GREENDALE FAMILY BRANCH GREENDALE FAMILY BRANCH SHANNON PENARDO MARTY AYOTTE KATHERINE HESSEL VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR DIVERSITY & INCLUSION CHAIRMAN’S AWARD GREENDALE FAMILY BRANCH GREENDALE FAMILY BRANCH Every day we work with thousands of men, women HOW WE IMPACT and children to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income or background, has the opportunity OUR COMMUNITY to learn, grow and thrive.

  • Part 2. Black Indies
    THE ‘BLACK INDIES’: THE NORTH EAST CONNECTIONS WITH THE SLAVERY BUSINESS Slavery and Abolition and People of African Descent in the North East. Part 2. Sean Creighton History & Social Action Publications August 2020 1 Introduction Although in the 18th Century the North East was called the ‘Black Indies’ because of its coal, its landed gentry and businessmen were involved in more than just coal. They exploited new opportunities that arose, including land and ownership of, and trading in, enslaved Africans to cultivate and harvest produce in the colonies in North America up to independence and the creation of the United States of America. Profits from these involvements helped shape the North East’s built environment, landed gentry estates, and industries to a greater extent than previously thought. Other North Easterners were involved in the army and naval forces used to defend the British colonies and to capture those of Britain’s European rivals, and to suppress revolts by the enslaved. It appears that before 2007 research concentration on the slave trade and the cotton towns, particularly Bristol, Liverpool and Manchester, limited understanding of the way other local and regional economies were interlinked into the slavery system. It was impossible for people in any part of Britain involved in industry and trade not to have had connections however tenuous with the slave economies. Those interlinks could be reinforced through the complexities of land ownership, marriage and inheritance across the country. This pamphlet is the second part of a series on the North East’s connections with the slavery business and involvements in campaigning for the abolition of the slave trade and slavery in the British Caribbean colonies and then in the United States, and the region’s history of people of African heritage.

  • The Early Liverpool Privateers
    69 THE EARLY LIVERPOOL PRIVATEERS. By Arthur C. Wardle, M.I.Ex. Read 15 March, 1941. IVERPOOL is fortunate in possessing complete files of L her eighteenth century newspapers. While these original evidences, since amplified by the work of Gomer Williams (Liverpool Privateers and Slave Ships) and R. Stewart-Brown (Liverpool Ships in the Eighteenth Century), throw much light upon local shipping history during the second half of the eighteenth century, neither the newspapers nor the historians afford us much information regarding men and ships of the first fifty years of the century. The following pages are submitted with the hope that they may bridge, to some extent, this gap in the city's maritime history. Other than a few contemporary drawings of river and sea­ going craft shewn on early plans and maps of the town, there is little evidence available as to the rig and construction of these early Liverpool vessels. Apparently, they had their character­ istics. The Gentleman's Magazine for June, 1740, describes a Spanish privateer-ship as " A Three Mast Ship, about 120 Men ; a Lion's Head, her Stern and Quarters painted Blue, her Sides tarr'd, streight sheer'd, two Top-gallant Yards rigg'd aloft, her Mizen Top-Top-Mast and Top-gallant mast both in one, and very much resembles a Liverpool ship." Another description in the same magazine for June, 1752, reads : " The Clayton, snow, Patrick, of Liverpool, 200 tons, a lion's head, taut mast, square rigged, has four two pounders and ten swivel guns, carries two topgallant yards and swims by the head and sails well on a wind, but indifferently large, was taken in March last by a pirate which was the 3 sisters (Three Sisters) long boat, Jackson, of Liverpool." Gomer Williams describes a Mersey slave ship of the period as a snow, of about 140 tons, square sterned, 57 feet keel, 21 feet beam, five feet between decks, nine feet in the hold.

  • A Feminist Perspective on New Orleans Jazzwomen
    A FEMINIST PERSPECTIVE ON NEW ORLEANS JAZZWOMEN Sherrie Tucker Principal Investigator Submitted by Center for Research University of Kansas 2385 Irving Hill Road Lawrence, KS 66045-7563 September 30, 2004 In Partial Fulfillment of #P5705010381 Submitted to New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park National Park Service 419 Rue Decatur New Orleans, LA 70130 This is a study of women in New Orleans jazz, contracted by the National Park Service, completed between 2001 and 2004. Women have participated in numerous ways, and in a variety of complex cultural contexts, throughout the history of jazz in New Orleans. While we do see traces of women’s participation in extant New Orleans jazz histories, we seldom see women presented as central to jazz culture. Therefore, they tend to appear to occupy minor or supporting roles, if they appear at all. This Research Study uses a feminist perspective to increase our knowledge of women and gender in New Orleans jazz history, roughly between 1880 and 1980, with an emphasis on the earlier years.
