The arts have it on Martha’s Vineyard. The upcoming events are no exception. Do you remember dear Marcia Rossi Wise who lived and worked on our Island for so many years? This Renaissance woman gave piano and art lessons to my son as well as to many, many other children.

Do you have your ticket for the Possible Dreams Auction at Winnetu this Sunday? Don’t forget! This is the most exciting social event of the year on Martha’s Vineyard, providing fun for you and funds for our extensive community services. You just might see me there.
The ever-active, ever-loving Berman family is back and forth for Vineyard days again. Saddened by the loss of their dear Annie Lou, who passed last winter, and in honor of her love of the Vineyard, the Berman clan has gathered to create more family memories.
