Island men took a stand along the Vineyard Haven seawall Saturday afternoon in the eighth annual demonstration against domestic violence. The event was organized by Connect to End Violence, a program of Martha’s Vineyard Community Services.
The Island Intervention Center that opened less than two years ago has already made inroads into mental health and substance abuse treatment on the Island.
Community Services has been awarded $400,000 from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to open a recovery support center in partnership with the Island hospital.
A three-phase, $17 million campus redevelopment plan for Martha’s Vineyard Community Services is one step closer to launch after the project got a green light from the Martha’s Vineyard Commission.
Finding that concerns from neighbors about traffic flow and road maintenance had been adequately addressed, the MVC closed a public hearing on a major campus redevelopment plan.
Three important steps toward responsible service to the Island were taken last weekend by The Martha’s Vineyard Community Services, Inc. On Saturday a group of seven: Rev. J. Gordon Allen, Robert J. Carroll, Rev. S. Read Chatterton, Charles E. Downs, Miss Margaret Love, Dr. Robert W. Nevin, and Mrs. John W. M. Whiting met in Edgartown for the purpose of organizing a corporation.
