The Martha’s Vineyard Center 4 Living will hold its first fundraiser — called Summer Welcome — at the Portuguese-American Club in Oak Bluffs on Friday, June 25, from 6 to 10 p.,m. The evening of Island-style fun includes dinner, dancing by deejay, door prizes and silent auction. Tickets are $10 each, with a cash bar. Proceeds go toward finding a permanent home for the Supportive Day Program.
Can you handle the heat? Roscoe Tanner brings his 153-mile-an-hour serve to the Vineyard Youth Tennis center on Tuesday, June 29. At the 1978 U.S. Open, his serve actually broke the net. But don’t worry, he’s not looking to ace you. Tanner, once ranked fourth in the world, will be holding clinics all day long. High schoolers are from 9 to 10:30 a.m, adult women from 1 to 3 p.m., and men from 2 to 5 p.m.
Enjoy the fruits of their labors, not to mention the vegetables and beef too.
It’s the grand opening celebration of Morning Glory Farm’s new farmstand.

The fun starts on Saturday at 11 a.m. and runs until 4 p.m.
There will be hayrides, farm tours, book signings, pony rides, and of course, food. The grill will be smoking with Island-grown beef burgers, plus soup and salad made with fresh picked veggies.
For the sixth year in a row, the sun shone on the festivities of Polly Hill Arboretum’s summer solstice celebration, held Saturday afternoon on the arboretum grounds in West Tisbury.
