First, a correction: Uncle Jimmer (Eric Hartell) wrote to inform me that the original Seager Chappy patriarch was named Sam, not David. I think Uncle Jimmer used to be an editor or something, so he’s a stickler for facts. And he’s the grandson of Sam. Or something like that. Probably wrong about that too.
Tonight’s crescent moon appears right under the bright planet Saturn. The two are in the zodiacal constellation Virgo.
The Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School transportation subcommittee voted at their meeting last Monday night to cut off-Island field trip fees in half for student groups in the next school year. Committee members said they hoped the reduced fees would ease the financial burden on small groups that might otherwise have to sacrifice off-Island activities.
Memory Screenings
Memory screenings will be offered on Friday, June 25, from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Edgartown Council on Aging at 10 Daggett street in Edgartown. There is no charge.
These free screenings entail a brief cognitive test for people who do not have a prior diagnosis of dementia. The goal is to identify people with potential problems who may need more extensive evaluation.
Festival of Poetry
Featherstone Center for the Arts, in conjunction with the Martha’s Vineyard Writers Residency, presents a summer-long festival of poetry at Featherstone.
All readings will be held on the third Thurday of each month at 7 p.m.
This summer’s lineup includes both local and nationally known poets.
On Thursday, June 17, locals Jennifer Tseng and Clark Myers will be sharing recent and published work.
Help for Seniors
Polly Brown and Jane Hawkes of Vineyard Village at Home will be guest speakers on Friday, June 18, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. at the Oak Bluffs Senior Center.
Vineyard Village at Home is a volunteer organization offering support services for older Islanders who need help to remain in their homes.
