Program for the October 21st Meeting:
Special Presentation Our club had the pleasure of getting a special presentation by 22 students in the Salem Public Schools. They performed a song written to benefit the “I wonder teacher’s fund.” The song was written in honor of Salem Teachers by local Salem mom, Anna Gianetti Ricci. The project has culminated in the production of CD’s which will be sold to benefit the Salem Public Schools. If you would like to sell CD’s at your business or donate to the fund please contact Paul Wennick at PWennick@aol.com. Speaker: Tom Driscoll, Clerk of Courts for Essex County
As Clerk of Courts, Tom serves as Clerk Magistrate and Clerk of the Superior Court of Essex County. He oversees all criminal cases indicted, including murders, rapes – anything involving a state sentence. He serves as keeper of the records for all matters and works with judges. The court system is set up in Essex County as a three court system – Lawrence, Salem and Newburyport. Newburyport is the oldest continually operating courtroom in the country. There are over 3,000 cases on the civil docket, and the goal is to have greater than 100% put through of cases. His position is an elected one because of a change to the State Constitution in 1854.
