As a real estate investment, development and property management firm with assets located in communities throughout the Greater Boston area, RCG understands how important the contributions of locally based charities are to the fabric of a neighborhood. In particular, homeless shelters and food pantries are vital to the well-being of so many people. That’s why RCG recently selected five very deserving organizations that provide essential services to their communities as recipients of donations from its employee’s charitable gift fund. These organizations include both some of the largest organizations in the area as well as very locally-focused non-profit groups. RCG has been impressed by each group’s commitment to serving the members of its respective community and the active steps each organization takes to accomplishing its mission. Each recipient is located in a community in which RCG operates, and we have witnessed the benefits of the programs these organizations provide.

This year’s recipients are:

1) The Salem Mission located at 56 Margin Street in Salem MA, which provides a number of services to homeless men and women on the north shore.

2) My Brother's Table located 98 Willow Street in Lynn, MA is a privately run food bank that serves more than 200 individuals 365 days a year.

3) Heading Home, headquartered in Central Square Cambridge provides services and projects aimed at creating permanent affordable housing.

4) The Pine Street Inn, headquartered in Boston, is active in many neighborhoods in the region, including Brookline, and is the largest resource for homeless men and women in New England.

5) Home for Little Wanderers, which is headquartered in Boston, is active in many communities in which RCG operates, including Brighton and Waltham, and provides a number of resources for at-risk children and their families.

We at RCG consider ourselves fortunate to be able to contribute to these deserving organizations and wish them well for continued success in accomplishing their missions.

There has been a lot of talk about change over the past few months. That change is not limited to Washington. A historic Lynn landmark is undergoing a major makeover just in time for spring. Change is underway at the Lydia Pinkham Building and new tenants have arrived to reap the rewards of the historic building’s latest revival.

Whenever one door closes, another opens. Such is the case at the Lydia Pinkham Building, from where TDF Metal Workshop recently vacated to a new building in Danvers. The basement space that TDF previously occupied has been renovated into thirteen subdivided spaces ideal for contractors, small businesses, and people looking for affordable office or artist space. Four of these spaces were rented prior to the completion of construction, which is expected in late March, 2009.

Located at 271 Western Avenue, the Pinkham Building has been around since the late 1880’s when Lydia herself concocted the potions that put her at the forefront of late 19th century medicine.

Today, it’s the many small businesses and artists who are concocting a variety of wares within the red brick walls. With more than 70 artisans and craftsmen, the historic Lydia Pinkham Building has grown into a true community for all types of creative users. Since the start of the year, the Pinkham building has already opened it doors to eight new tenants including Riley Parker Design, a restaurant lighting and casework design firm, Dogwood Floral Design, a wedding & event floral design studio, and Perez Massage Therapy to name a few. There are several pending deals in the pipeline as well.

The historic building has become one of the fastest growing artist and small business communities in the area.

There are often unique spaces available at affordable rates .. The property is managed by RCG, which recently opened a satellite office on the first floor in the building . Learn more about the Lydia Pinkham Building at www.Lydia-Pinkham.com or on facebook by searching “Lydia PinkhamStudios”.
