Edartown restaurant Chesca’s in association with Cakes by Liz, Sweet E’s Cupcakes in Vineyard Haven, and Sweet Life Café in Oak Bluffs will be baking special desserts during the week before Mother’s Day, May 2 to 8, to battle breast cancer as part of the 12th annual Boston Bakes for Breast Cancer.

Desserts start at $3 and 100 per cent of sales will benefit breast cancer research and care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Salsa for Seniors

The Martha’s Vineyard Center for Living urges Vineyarders to participate in Sharky’s Cantina’s dine-to-donate evening on Tuesday, April 26. Sharky’s owner JB Blau will donate 15 per cent of the food sales from both Sharky’s Cantinas, on Circuit avenue in Oak Bluffs and Main street in Edgartown, to the center’s efforts to enrich the lives of Island seniors.

Every Tuesday Sharky’s benefits a different nonprofit organization.

Around this time every year, for the past 17, a group of children have come to Martha’s Vineyard for the same reason as many do: for refuge. The children’s need is usually greater than most, for they are children living with HIV/AIDS. Next week, Camp Safe Haven returns to the Island, where this now global nonprofit was born. As part of the week’s activities, all Islanders are invited to a fund-raising reception called Home Sweet Home, on Tuesday, April 19, from 5 to 8:30 p.m.

Model Boat Show

Take advantage of the break in the rain forecast for Saturday by taking the boat over to Woods Hole to see other boats — a special show of model boats, radio-controlled model boat races, talks about boats, and the chance for children to sail a wooden model boat, too.

A historic change is in the works for West Tisbury if voters approve the sale of beer and wine at town restaurants and inns at the annual town meeting on Tuesday night.

A petitioned article championed by the owners of State Road Restaurant, the Lambert’s Cove Inn and the Plane View calls for the sale of beer and wine at restaurants with a seating capacity of 50 or more patrons.
