Community
Habitat for Humanity of Martha’s Vineyard will host its second annual hole-in-one and putting tournament at Farm Neck Golf Club, County Road, Oak Bluffs on Sunday, Sept. 30 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
This year the shot will be about 60 yards instead of 168. A cash prize will be offered.
Participants may take as many shots as they like, and as many trips around the putting course as they can handle without frustration. Clubs and balls will be provided for those who do not have their own.
Benefit Yard Sale
The girls field hockey and girls lacrosse teams are holding a benefit yard sale, Saturday, Sept. 29, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Chilmark Community Center. A wide variety of items will be available.
Both teams are raising monies for uniforms and team travel for the current season. This is a collaborative effort with both girls’ sports sharing all proceeds to support field hockey and lacrosse.
The four churches of the United Methodist Cooperative Ministry will hold a joint service at the Edgartown United Methodist Church, the Old Whaling Church, on Main street in Edgartown on Sunday, Sept. 30 at 11 a.m.
Habitat Seeks Volunteers
Habitat for Humanity of Martha’s Vineyard has started another home in Vineyard Haven for a deserving family that already has been selected. The organization is seeking volunteers to help keep the building cost down to keep the price to the family as low as possible.
Construction days will be Fridays and Saturdays starting Sept. 28. Habitat is seeking experienced volunteers for the first weekend and maybe the second as the organization will be putting the cap on the foundation.
The central figure in the legends of the Gay Head Wampanoags is a giant named Moshup . He and his wife Squant had 12 beautiful daughters and they lived together happily on the Gay Head cliffs. Today two daughters of Moshup still work and live on the Cliffs. Sisters Adriana Ignacio and Berta Welch run stores across the way from each other. This weekend they took a break to talk about growing up as members of the tribe, the meaning of sisterhood and what’s cooking for dinner.

Adriana Ignacio
The Dragonfly Gallery, in conjunction with the Periwinkle Studio (diagonally across the street), is featuring a retrospective show of Virginia Reilly Gosselin’s art work spanning more than 50 years.
A graduate of Endicott College in 1956, she worked in the art department of newspapers and advertising agencies until she began freelancing for Stanley Home Products. From the early 1980s to the present, Ms. Reilly Gosselin has been creating her whimsical pen and inks as well as her expressive drawings and paintings. All will be on display, and most for sale.
