Zumba Adds Curves
Curves and Zumba Fitness have developed a 30-minute class that mixes the dance moves of Zumba with the strength training of Curves for one workout. Curves of Vineyard Haven invites Islanders to try it free for a week.
All ages, fitness levels and dance abilities can participate. During the 30-minute class, participants work out on each strength machine for one minute, when music cues them to move to the center of the circuit where a licensed Zumba instructor teaches simple, modified Zumba moves.
Eat, Bid and Help Hockey
The annual Vineyard hockey dinner and auction will take place Friday, Jan. 21 at the Harbor View Hotel.

Doors open at 6 p.m. for the silent auction, dinner begins at 7 p.m. and the live auction gets under way at 8 p.m.
Tickets for the dinner cost $35.
Correction
A story in last week’s Gazette about the high school swim team was inaccurate in its history reporting. There was a swim team on the Vineyard in the 1970s that traveled off-Island for meets and practiced in the pool at the hotel that is today the Mansion House. The Gazette regrets the error.
Three well-known Vineyard residents will be recognized for outstanding community service and a noted author and history professor will deliver the keynote address at the 26th annual Martin Luther King Jr. membership and awards dinner on Monday night, Jan. 17 at the Harbor View Hotel in Edgartown.
The annual event is sponsored by the Martha’s Vineyard branch of the NAACP.
