Get a mammogram and pay no fee for fitness. That’s the theme at Curves in Vineyard Haven for the month of October. In recognition of breast cancer awareness month and to raise awareness about the importance of early detection, the women’s fitness center will waive the joining fee for members who show proof of a mammogram within the last year or make a $25 donation to breast cancer research.
