Travel to Flower Show

Witness to Haiti’s Struggle
Over the years, the Martha’s Vineyard community has made a commitment to Haiti through numerous fundraisers, groups of Islanders traveling to the country to assist in myriad ways and by being host to Haitian artists here on the Island.

On Tuesday, Feb. 8 Sharky’s in Edgartown will be holding a benefit for the Friends of Tisbury Council on Aging. Best of all, you don’t have to do anything more than enjoy great food to be a part of the benefit.
A percentage of all food sales on that day will go to this good cause.
