On Tuesday, Jan. 29, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Hospice of Martha’s Vineyard (HMV) is holding an open house at its new location in the Tisbury Market Place.

A gift from Don Davis made in the name of his friend Dick Craven has also made possible a new library/meeting room. Others in the community have donated office furniture.
