Chilmark will hold a special town meeting on August 6 at 8 p.m. at the community center. The subject to be discussed and voted on is the replacement of docks in the Menemsha harbor. We hope all interested voters will turn out and hear what is proposed and vote their choices.

We have been enjoying very lovely summer weather for the past weeks and we are learning not to comment on the heat quite so many times a day.

Chilmark prepared for the Fourth of July in great style. We had a double rainbow one evening, the appearance of a full moon another, along with beautiful beach days and the arrival of many friends and family members. It should make for many happy memories for us all.

Chilmark is in high summer mode as the 4th of July weekend approaches. The roads and beaches and shops are busy with visitors and the Community Center is gearing up for the next month of activity. The arrival of summer and the influx of visitors always seem to surprise us in spite of the weeks of preparation we have been at work on!

Chilmark’s roadsides are sporting leafy green cover-ups that now hide all that previously could be seen from the road! All the greenery is very lush and thick. The white bloomings of spring are beginning to fade and the major color now is green everywhere. No doubt the heavy rains this week have worked their magic.

Thanks to the hard work of superintendent Keith Emin and assistant Hutch Kirwin, the town roadsides are trimmed and mowed and looking good.

Chilmark joins the rest of the Island in welcoming the vacationers who will begin our busy season with their Memorial Day visits and celebrations. There are many entertainments planned and if the sun stays with us, we will all celebrate!

Chilmark was given a preview look at the Lynx, the replica of the 1812 privateer that paid a five-day visit to the Vineyard Haven harbor. She was anchored off our shores the night before going down-Island, and a pretty sight she was.

Chilmark sends best wishes to Susan Larsen and her daughter, Brigida, as they prepare for the two day Avon Walk for Breast Cancer this weekend in Boston. Susan will walk 39.3 miles and Brigida will speak at the opening ceremonies and join the youth group that supports the walkers on their two-day adventure. We hope Susan has made her fundraising goal.

There will be a flea market at the Community Center on Saturday, May 19, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and lunch will be available.
