Food Pantry notes The Saugus United Parish Food Pantry is open today (Friday, March 10) from 9:3011 a.m. We have a winner! Congratulations to Gloria Johnson for making the right identification in last week’s “Guess Who Got Sketched!” contest. There were several winners. But Gloria was the lucky reader to have her name drawn from the green Boston Red Sox cap. Gloria wins a $10 gift certificate, compliments of JIMMY’S STEER HOUSE, 114 Broadway (Rt. 1 North) in Saugus. Here’s the correct answer offered by the person who goes by the name of The Sketch Artist: “The answer to the sketch is Deacon Francis and his wife Joanne M. Gaffney. Francis and Joanne have been married over 60 plus years. “They were among 120 Catholics in the Boston Archdiocese to receive the Bishop Cheverus Award Medals. It is rare for a couple to receive the Bishop Cheverus Awards. “Saugus Advocate Editor Mark E. Vogler wrote an ‘Advocate Asks’ extensive article on this couple’s achievements, which also included photos (Saugus Advocate October 21, 2022 pages 3, 4, 7, 9, 11 & 14.) It’s an inspiring read about Francis and Joanne Gaffney. “The Gaffney’s are Faith Leaders in the Saugus Catholic Collaborative. They taught marriage Prep classes for over 40 plus years. Joanne worked for the Archdiocese for 21 years. Deacon Francis has performed Baptisms, funerals, weddings and preaches one time per month. The Deacon and his wife have a generous servant’s heart with the attitude if it comes their way to serve, they do it. “I would encourage you to view the ‘Advocate Asks’ article about Deacon Francis and Joanne Gaffney. Thank you for all you do! keep letting your light shine brightly! “Thank you, “Yours Truly, “The Sketch Artist” A “Shout Out” to a future Eagle Precinct 6 Town Meeting Member Jeanie Bartolo offered a giant “Shout Out” to Jake D’Eon of Saugus Boy Scout Troop 62: “Jake is the son of former Selectman Jen D’Eon and Deputy Chief Tom D’Eon of the Saugus Fire Department. Jake is on his way to earning his Eagle Scout Badge. If my research is correct only 6% of Boy Scouts nationwide attain this level, two of our former Presidents and Selectman Deb Panetta’s son Mark are among them. Jake will be overseeing the building of eight handicap picnic tables at Breakheart Reservation. He will be accomplishing this during April school vacation. So many times handicapped people get overlooked and forgotten. This is such a great idea and something that will last for years at Breakheart. I have no doubt that Jake will succeed not only in this endeavor but anything that he attempts in the future. ‘Jakie’ as I always called him when he was younger was the type of ‘kid’ that you loved to be around and hats off and credit to his parents and sister Allie for this. Best of Luck ‘Jakie’ all of Saugus is proud of you!” Want to “Shout Out” a fellow Saugonian? This is an opportunity for our paper’s readers to single out – in a brief mention – remarkable acts or achievements by Saugus residents or an act of kindness or a nice gesture. Just send an email (mvoge@comcast.net) with a mention in the subject line of “An Extra Shout Out.” No more than a paragraph; anything longer might lend itself to a story and/or a photo.
