Club reading project recommendation from last week's Club Assembly:
In preparation for the 250th Celebration in Marblehead,
let's all read or re-read
The Indispensables:
The Diverse Soldier-Mariners Who Shapes the Country, Formed the Navy,
and Rowed Washington Across the Delaware
by Patrick K. O'Donnell
This reading project - to truly appreciate Marblehead's and Glover's Regiment's role in establishing this nation - was inspired by Bob's comment that a historian friend told him that there would not be independence or a nation without Marblehead and Glover's Regiment who saved the movement three times.

Friends of Marblehead Parks Announces Perennial Native Plant Sale
First-Ever Fundraiser Features Native Perennials, Shrubs, and Pollinator Plants to Support Local Parks
MARBLEHEAD, MA — The Friends of Marblehead Parks invites the community to its first-ever plant sale fundraiser on Friday, June 20, from 9:00-!2:00 at the Marblehead Community Center, 10 Humphrey Street, Marblehead, MA. The sale will feature a curated selection of native perennials, shrubs, and pollinator plants — all chosen to thrive in New England gardens while benefiting local ecosystems.
Adding native plants to your garden is a meaningful step toward a healthier environment. Native species support biodiversity, promote natural plant health, and eliminate the need for extensive watering, chemical treatments, and manufactured nutrients — making them an ideal choice for both novice and experienced gardeners.
This plant sale marks the first fundraiser for the Friends of Marblehead Parks, a community organization whose mission is to improve the visual appeal, biodiversity, and sustainability of Marblehead’s parks through community projects, education, and engagement.
Event Details
Date: Friday, June 20, 2026
Time: 9:00 a.m.-Noon
Location: Marblehead Community Center, 10 Humphrey Street, Marblehead, MA
Plants: Native Perennials, Shrubs, and Pollinator Plants
Proceeds from the sale will support the Friends of Marblehead Parks’ ongoing efforts to beautify and sustain the town’s public green spaces for future generations. All are welcome to attend.
