The Trustees of Reservations will be hosting a Beach Clean-up this Saturday, March 15 from 10 a.m. to noon to pick up trash and debris on the Wasque and Cape Pogue beaches. A TTOR van will be available at Chappy Point at 10 a.m. sharp if you need a ride out to the beach. Trash bags and gloves will be provided. At noon, everyone will meet at the Chappy firehouse to tally up the haul and have a mug of hot soup. Bring your own mug and spoon.

Yoga with Jay continues at the Chappy Community Center on Sundays at 8:45 a.m.

The next CCC potluck is this coming Wednesday, March 19 from 6 to 8 p.m.

The Chappaquiddick Island Association (CIA) will host a two-part webinar entitled The Chappy Barrier Beach Education Series to underscore the importance of those beaches and to help all of us make better decisions about their future. The webinars will each be one hour long.

Did you know that you need a license to operate a Lull, skidsteer, loader or backhoe? Even if it’s your own machine in your own backyard! You can take a class at the Vineyard Transit Authority this Saturday, March 15 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Retired State Trooper Dan Eaton teaches the class. He’s a wealth of knowledge about how to stay out of trouble with those machines.

If you have a hoisting license and bash into your house or your wife’s car, or worse, you get hurt, at least the insurance company can’t say you aren’t covered because you didn’t have a license. Let’s say that you work for an outfit that uses these machines and the regular guy doesn’t show up. That’s your chance to step forward and show the boss how valuable you are.

I took the class a couple of years ago. You will be surprised to learn how lucky you have been so far. Google ACEMV and click on classes.
