Dear Villagers,
The Village is blessed with many talented members and volunteers, and one such is member Barbara Dowd, who is co-facilitating with Katherine Gendron an online course, Standing Up to Racism, through Newburyport Adult & Community Education. In three 90-minute sessions on October 15, 22, and 29, the course will
focus on the role of white people working with people of color to dismantle racism and build a more just society. Click here for information and registration.
And here's a reminder that with the onset of fall weather and the need to prepare for winter, the Village can help with light garden work and window air conditioner removal (following strict covid precautions). Call us at 978 206-1821 for help.
Programs & Events Offerings
- Village Talk Wed, Sept. 23 at 4:00 PM: Bridging the Gap: Deaf and Hearing Cultures. Diana Mele, a professor at Northern Essex Community College and interpreter for deaf people, explains how deaf and mainstream hearing cultures differ and how the gap between the two can be respectfully bridged. Her talk will feature a PowerPoint presentation and a sign language demonstration. With close to forty years of experience in Sign Language Interpreting and Human Services, Diana has valuable insights to share.

Village Talk & Raffle, Wed. Oct. 7 at 4:00 PM: In her latest book,
Newburyport Clipper Heritage Trail, local historian Ghlee Woodworth tells the stories of people who have come before us, mariners, shipbuilders, soldiers, artisans, philanthropists, artists and many more, and of the city they created. Through her presentation, we’ll see how ordinary and not so ordinary folk gave Newburyport its special character.
