Some Special “Shout Outs” We have several “Shout Outs” from readers this week. Joanie Allbee: “Hello I’d like to do a ‘Shout Out’ To Our 2023 Saugus Historical Society Strawberry Festival Team for hitting a home run! Here’s a Big Shout Out and Thank You to the following who showed up and went to bat when our Team was running low: “Debbie Panetta in the spur of the moment rolled up her sleeves and jumped right in with great enthusiasm. Ms. Panetta served hotdogs up till the last minute where she had to flee for another planned function which literally left her changing outfits in her car! “Karen Rakinic who then jumped in and took Debbie’s place serving the hotdogs till closing. “High School Junior Larissa Ambrosio helped us from beginning to end. Larissa helped set up, served Strawberry shortcakes with a smile and provided excellent customer service; she also stayed with us for clean up and pack up in the rain. “Thanks to Jack Klecker for loading supplies in his truck to and fro, cutting the biscuits and making sure things were running smoothly. “Jane Parrott and Wendy Renda for handling the cash & selling tickets “Historical Society President Laura Eisener for having the faith to see through predicted rains & low staff, that we could still pull this off greatly this year and not have to cancel. “Randy-Sue Abber for her behind the scenes help and instructions, availability via phone. (wishing speedy recovery to Randy-Sue.) “Also thanks to those who lended hands in misc. ways. “Thanks for knocking it out of the park, Team!” Precinct 6 Town Meeting Member Jeanie Bartolo: “Along with my fellow Town Meeting Members; Elisa LeBrasseur, Allen Panico, and Bill Brown as well as Selectmen Deb Panetta and Mike Serino this ‘Shout Out’ and ‘thank you’ goes to the residents of Precinct 6 who attended the Advocate’s ‘Saugus Over Coffee’ forum that was held at the Saugus Public Library on Tuesday evening. It was nice to see so many attend and that several spoke about what was important to them, their neighborhoods and the town as a whole.” A shout out from Joe Vecchione: “I’d like to make a shout out to my younger brother and Precinct 1 resident, Mike Vecchione, who is the Assistant Captain for the AHL Hershey Bears, the affiliate of the NHL Washington Capitals. They won 3-2 in OT in Game 7 of the American Hockey League Calder Cup Finals after going down 2-0. Mike scored the series winning, cup clinching goal; a storybook ending. I’m so proud and happy for him. Congratulations brother. Love you!” Want to “Shout Out” a fellow Saugonian?
