Calls for photos of Cape Ann's beauty

The Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce seeks digital photos for use in its 2010 Cape Ann Visitor's Map.

Already in production, this primary fulfillment piece for all advertising initiatives offers local photographers — both amateur and professional — exceptionally high-end volume visibility with 200,000 full color brochures widely distributed in kiosks, visitor centers and establishments throughout New England and Cape Ann, as well as at travel shows around the world.

The chamber specifically requests shots that capture the beauty of Gloucester, Rockport, Essex and Manchester, as well as the wealth of attractions and activities available to visitors year round. Submitting photographers and organizations will receive published credit. Advertising space in this key publication is available to chamber members. Space is limited. For more information on this photographic/marketing opportunity, contact the chamber office at 978-283-1601.

Bond manager retires after 40-year career

After a 40-year career of bond management in the Boston area, longtime Annisquam resident Thomas B. Hovey will retire at year's end as senior fixed income portfolio manager at Appleton Partners in Boston. Prior to joining Appleton Partners in 1993, he held senior positions at John Hancock Advisors and The Boston Company. Hovey's diligence in overseeing individual client portfolios and his depth of market knowledge contributed greatly to the standard of excellence that has characterized Appleton since it's founding in 1986.

"Tom's reputation in the Boston investment community for his knowledge and experience managing municipal bond portfolios is unparalleled," wrote Appleton vice president Jeffrey Johnson.

This retirement was coincident with changes in the industry, asset growth at Appleton, and a challenging market environment.
