The 22nd annual Martha’s Vineyard CROP Walk will be held on Oct. 14, and advance planning takes place at Grace Episcopal Church in Vineyard Haven on Saturday, Sept. 8, beginning at 5:00 p.m.

Once again this year, the Reverend Bert Marshall, district director of Church World Service for New England, will participate in the walk as well as being the featured speaker, sharing the story of this program which began internationally 60 years ago. Last year 102 people participated in the walk, raising $19,481, 25 per cent of which supported Island charities.

For more information, contact the Rev. Alden Besse at 508-693-3930.
