Top Shelf

We're in denial, but it's true... Josh Melanson has left the building.

We have to start opening the office, cleaning up and well, building our own shelves now. The Herrick House will heretofore be the recipients of Josh's many talents and I must admit, we are really looking forward to hearing about free lunches and happy hour hang times with his Head Ranger-in-crime, Jocelyn Cassola!

We will even dedicate a portion of the blog to Josh, so we can let you all know what he's up to in the outside world. We had a little meatball sub party today (Josh's fave sandwich) to celebrate. Check out the pictures, below...

The Best Part of Waking Up

When I walked into the office this morning I was greeted by this...

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening.  Make it the best Thursday that has ever been.

Foliage Tour

Stardate: October 1, 2012... the countdown to Halloween has begun! I'm considering dressing as the Beverly Delorean and Stella has chosen Medusa as her costume. If anyone else in the office has made their decisions, they're not sharing.

We are holding our first annual Halloween Costume Party in the Carriage House on October 30, 5:00-8:00pm!  So, after you have done the Downtown Trick or Treat - sponsored by Beverly Main Streets (4:00-6:00pm), head down to Lynch Park and enjoy more Halloween fun like facepainting and Haunted Carriage House tours!

Since summer ended, we have celebrated three birthdays, Bruce, Josh and Jean's.  Here are the pics to prove it...



And then it was Jean's big day...

The Skev Report - Well, there's nothing to report because he's been "too busy" to visit the office.  Unbelievable!  If you see him, tell him to drop by Bev Rec!  We'll be sure to give a full and detailed account.

Fall is in the Air, Everywhere I Look Around

I just realized that today is September 20… how did it get to be almost fall?  Just yesterday we were spraying each other with sunblock, ironing our Bev Rec tank tops and cleaning the Lynch Beach sand out of our ears.  Summer is G-O-N-E, but not forgotten…



So much has happened since the craziness of camp and park died down.  The fall programs are planned and the brochure has already hit the web and the streets of Bevtown, USA.  I doubt that any of you will be able to tell how I Photoshopped a few unsuspecting beach-goers right off the front cover!  That Adobe training 8 years ago paid off! 

Jocelyn has gone back to school and the Herrick House and Scott also went back to school, but before they left we had a good, old fashioned, Bev Rec breakfast party.  Bruce was on vacation, so we had to rub in the fact that we had one million sausages and “mancakes”, as Josh refers to them.  Skev came by to clean up his Tiny Tykes stuff and couldn’t resist reminding us that… “He’s Batman”.  I am not sure whether or not he prefers Michael Keaton or Christian Bale as Batman, but I’m sure we could have a lengthy discussion about that.

We have since seen Skev a bunch of times (and I saw him at the Gap!), Sam St. came in looking for some sunglasses and he has grown some hair, Nicole M. dropped by to pick up her CPR & First Aid cards and Will and Ryan have been around Lynch doing a little fall rangering.  It’s nice to see our summer staff during the off-season, so if you are in the park during business hours, drop by and say HI!

Getting ready for the NRPA (National Recreation & Park Association) Congress in California next month!  We’re going to Disneyland!

Vacation, All I Ever Wanted

Back to reality! Summer vacation is just about over, we’ve come to the end of camp and park, and we’re back down to about 10 employees here at Bev Rec. Has anyone else noticed the chill to the air in the morning and evening? We’re thinking Fall as we plan the next evening enrichment schedule, with visions of jack o’lanterns and wild turkeys dancing in our heads.

The Skev Report – Tykes is over, but that hasn’t stopped Skev U.P. from spending time at the Recreation Office with the rest of us. This week he cleaned up his camp area, gave us advice on birthday presents, reinvigorated our computers and went paddleboarding (SUP!) with me and a bunch of buddies. It’s unfortunate that he had to see me in my bathing suit, but we did get all the way to the Jubilee Yacht Club before we headed back for home. Great workout, thanks to the Kayak Learning Center! Skev remarked, regarding Stevie Wonder's recent romantic woes, "Who divorces a blind man?" Who divorces Stevie, is more like it! Skev is headed for some relaxation at Foxwoods this weekend, that and getting his classroom ready at BHS. Best of luck, Michael! Don’t be a stranger!

Gail handed over the back of the Late Care timesheet today, and it contained their end of the summer awards! So cool! Here they are:

• Stefany = Late Care Backbone
• Corey = Most Fierce / Janice Dickinson Memorial Award
• Katie = Best Hugs
• Megan B. = Most Innovative
• Hannah = Best C.I.T.
• Meghan N. = Most Nurturing
• Jake = Best Athletic
• Hayley = The Sweetest Lady Award
• Jackie = Best Director of Late Care Ever

We still have a ton of burgers and dogs, so staff, be on the lookout for a cookout!

Also, we have two special birthdays next week, so come down and extend your well-wishes to Bruce and Josh on Wednesday!
