Community Service
The Town of Dennis has a new committee, the Sesuit Harbor Building Committee, to help administer a Coastal Resiliency Seaport Economic Grant for designing west side harbor facilities. Catalyst Architecture Interiors of Yarmouth is providing architectural services.
Local musicians can’t play live, but that hasn’t stopped those who typically organize benefit concerts at this time of year from helping neighbors in need.
Both the Cape Cod Christmas Cavalcade and Yule for Fuel featuring dozens of performers among them are back in a virtual way this year. Online compilations of numbers from past shows are available to watch, with hopes that you’ll also donate to help people who are having trouble paying for housing and paying fuel bills. Watch for some live online appearances and 2020 surprises.
Another online concert put together by various acts aims to help buy food for employees in the hospitality industry hit hard by the effect of COVID-19 on travel.
