Community
The Martha’s Vineyard Hospital Auxiliary will mark the 24th anniversary of its tree of lights fundraiser to benefit Martha’s Vineyard Hospital. Each December for over two decades, the great pine located in front of the hospital was lit with hundreds of red and white lights, each donated by an individual in honor or in memory of a loved one.
Appraisal Day
Not sure if it’s trash or treasure? Bring it to the Martha’s Vineyard Museum’s appraisal day tomorrow, Dec. 1, at the Museum in the Pease House, 59 School street in Edgartown.
Tomorrow at the Grace Church Holly Day Fair, the youth group at Grace Church — Youth M-Powered — will have a table where you can donate money to Heifer International.
Martha’s Vineyard Glassworks, a hand-blown glassworks gallery and studio, will donate five per cent of December sales to the Safe Haven Project, an Island-based nonprofit learning organization that provides educational opportunities for the greater community of young people living with, or affected by, HIV/AIDS.
Libby Johnson, gallery manager and a member of the Safe Haven Committee, said Safe Haven is raising money to fund the organization’s spring camping season.
There was a time, in the not so distant past, when turkeys crowded more than just the roads of Martha’s Vineyard.
Explore some of the old roads and ancient ways of Edgartown on horseback, with an informal (noncompetitive) trail ride on Sunday, Nov. 25.
Riders are invited to gather their horses for a 10 a.m. start at the deer weighing station off Barnes Road near the state forest headquarters. There’s plenty of room to park trailers, and trail wardens from the Edgartown byways committee will be available to stop traffic for anyone riding over from the state forest west of Barnes Road.
