Page 16 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, April 8, 2022 SOUNDS | FROM PAGE 15 for your service! “Yours Truly, “The Sketch Artist “ A “Shout Out” to Michael Beamer Precinct 6 Town Meeting Member Jeanie Bartolo emailed me this week, heaping high praise on a Saugonian who truly cares about the cleanliness and appearance of his town. “This “Shout Out” goes to a gentleman named Michael Beamer. I have never met Mr. Beamer but I would like to.He needs to be recognized for his two acts of kindness. Twice within a week he cleaned up massive amounts of trash that was dumped at an apartment building on Warden Street. The second batch of trash dumped there included two mattresses. This was not Mr. Beamer’s trash or responsibility but he was kind enough to clean it up anyway. There should be more people in this town like him and I just wanted to thank him with this “Shout Out”.I hope I get to meet you Mr. Beamer, it would be an honor.” 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 the mention in the subject line, “An Extra Shout Out.” No more than a paragraph. Anything longer might lend itself to a story and/or a photo.
