Community
COMSOG, the Community Solar Greenhouse of Martha’s Vineyard, is continuing a 20-year tradition, celebrating the arrival of the fall season by welcoming local residents and their families to its Fall Harvest Festival on Sunday, Oct. 5 from noon to 3 p.m. at the greenhouse off of New York avenue in Oak Bluffs. Just look for the yellow and green sign, next to Dick’s Bait and Tackle.
Martha’s Vineyard Community Services on Wednesday unveiled a strategic plan to grow in services, size and funding over the next five years, but within a year the organization expects to have better services in place for Islanders with drug and alcohol problems.
Talks already are underway between community services and the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital, with help from the department of public health, to coordinate care for Islanders with substance abuse or mental health concerns.
