Listening to salsa music is like walking into a party with everyone talking. You can’t listen everything at once, It’s too confusing. You have to focus on one or two conversations at a time. Same is true with dancing to a salsa band. There are a lot of musical conversations going on in the band so it is best to have a conversation with one or two of the instruments. New seven-week series at Gloucester Stage Company beginning October 10th. 7:00 – 8:00pm. Geared towards thebeginner. You’ll have fun, I always have fun. Contact me for more info. 978-281-3227

That lovely chill in the air? That’s our beloved New England winter, whispering “Here I come!”
As temps start sledding downhill each autumn, Ipswich’s Ascension Memorial Episcopal Church takes steps to make sure no one in the community lacks warm clothing.
So for the 16th year (with only 2020 off due to the pandemic), Ascension will host a “Winter Warm Up” sale.
Ipswich-area residents are invited to donate new or gently used winter clothing — warm coats, jackets, sweaters, hats, scarves, mittens and gloves, socks, snow pants, snow boots, slacks, etc.
Church volunteers will sort the clothing by type, style, and size, then arrange a pop-up department-store-style market in the church’s Boone Hall gymnasium. There, the goods will be offered at extremely low prices. (There will even be fitting rooms, complete with mirrors.)
“This is never a fundraiser for the church,” says Ralph Johnson, chair of the church’s outreach committee, which organizes the event. “The idea is to make sure people can stay warm, regardless of income level. Whatever money we collect will actually go to Ipswich Caring and Birth to Three.”
What types of clothing donations are needed most?
“We always hope to receive winter coats for all ages, and outdoor clothes for school-age children,” Ralph says.
To participate, make your clothing contributions (winter clothes only, no summer gear, and nothing torn or dirty) in either of two ways:
(1) Drop clothing between 9 a.m. and noon at the Ascension Church gym, 31 County St., Ipswich, on Saturday, October 15th, or Saturday, October 22nd.
(2) Deposit clothing in designated collection bins at Ipswich Town Hall, 25 Green St., Ipswich (located upstairs at the gym and downstairs at the Council on Aging) beginning October 1st, anytime Town Hall is open.
After this perennially pleasant event, unclaimed clothing will go to groups like Second Glance in Gloucester, St. Paul’s thrift shop in Boston, the Salvation Army, veterans’ groups, hospitals, and others. So you can be confident that any winter-clothing contribution you make to this project will go to someone in need.
The sale itself will occur at the church gym from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on both Saturday, October 29th, and Sunday, October 30th.
On those days, feel free to pick up Winter Warm Up clothing not only for yourself but for the benefit of others you might share warm clothing with.
Questions about the Winter Warm Up Sale? Contact parish communications administrator Bob Morelli at (978) 356-2560 or amcipswich@verizon.net.

Please allow me to introduce myself – my name is Julie Covert, I, along with my husband, Capt. Hugh Covert, and our crew are visiting Gloucester, MA with our tall ship, Schooner Huron Jewel. Although tall ships are a common sight in Gloucester, we have a unique story that one of your readers, Bob Driscoll of Vintage 211, said that we should contact you about as he felt you and your viewers would be interested in our story.
We are on a nine month goodwill tour, the Dream Inspiration Tour. Our mission is to put smiles on people’s faces by giving them free dockside tours of the schooner and more importantly to encourage people to follow their dreams to make them happen – it was our dream to build a schooner, which we did after emptying out our savings and retirement accounts. Now we are sailing to inspire others by our example to make their dreams a reality.
This is Capt Hugh’s ninth boat that he has built, he also designed her. He and I built her over the course of 2 1/2 years where we live on Drummond Island, MI and launched her in 2018. We departed Michigan on August 20, 2022 and have now traveled over 2200 nautical miles, through the Great Lakes, St Lawrence Seaway, to the East Coast and are now making our way south.
For our Gloucester stop we are docked at and partnering with Ocean Alliance (www.whale.org), to offer free dockside tours during our stay. We’re also helping to tell people about the importance of Ocean Alliance’s research work and why it’s important to keep trash where it belongs and keep the oceans clean so the marine environment can stay healthy.
We had planned to only be here a couple of days, but the high wind and waves from storms spawned by the hurricanes are preventing us from leaving until this coming week, so we will be here offering free tours for a few more days and want to get the word out.
We would be happy for you to come see the ship and do a story about us to let people in the area know they can come visit.
As I have limited email I’m best reached by phone or text at xxxxxxccx to answer your questions.
I’m Carla reaching out from NeedyMeds to share with GMG readers that October is the 37th annual BeMedWise Talk About Your Medicines Month all about Medication Safety & Aging. We’re hoping everyone will visit – and share – the page we’ve created which is chock-full of super helpful, informative resources, info, and tools on helping older patients stay med-safe. We’re also so excited to offer our heartfelt thanks to Beth Israel Lahey Health Beverly and Addison Gilbert Hospitals and Cape Ann Savings Bank for their generous support of this initiative.
