Members and friends of the Martha’s Vineyard Surfcasters Association got a flavor of a busy season ahead on Saturday. The club now in its 20th year held their annual afternoon banquet at the Edgartown Whaling Church. More than 100 anglers showed up for the luncheon, to sip soda and eat fried chicken. The event included the delivery of plaques to first place winners of the club’s own summer-long fishing tournament and included the election of officers and a report on plans for the new year.
The Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School boys’ hockey team bounced back from a rough mid-season stretch to win big against Cambridge Rindge and Latin at home on Saturday, scoring five goals in the second period en route to an easy 8-0 win.
With the win the Vineyarders’ record stands at 8-3-2 on the season.
Corrections
In a story in last week’s Gazette about the NAACP Martin Luther King Day brunch, Laurie Perry-Henry was identified incorrectly. She is president of the Martha’s Vineyard Chapter of the NAACP. Also the story carried an incorrect date for Lincoln’s birthday; the correct day is Feb. 12. The Gazette regrets the errors.
