Primary day went off without a hitch at the community center, thanks to the efforts of new town clerk, Jessica Bradlee and her helpers.

The Martha’s Vineyard Garden Club has begun an annual awarding of certificates of appreciation to businesses and nonprofits in each town who decorate with landscaping and window box displays that beautify the towns.

Winners are the Chilmark Library, Martha’s Vineyard Savings Bank and Pandora’s Box. Congratulations to all. The garden club welcomes new members and Bonnie welcomes calls at 508-645-3214.
