Art
Nineteen years ago, Eleanor Hubbard adopted a calico cat from the Edgartown animal shelter. Tonight, in New York city, that cat is about to get her closeup.
The cat’s name is Ulla, a Norwegian name. Her actual pedigree is unclear, perhaps French, based on her inclination towards the arts and painting. Over the years Ulla has become Ms. Hubbard’s muse and model in the studio.
Fun to Dance at YMCA
The collaboration between the Yard and the YMCA begins on Oct. 24 when Dance with the Yard starts its fall program of classes.
Kids will learn the fundamentals of modern, ballet, and creative dance skills with Yard choreographer-dance educator, Jesse Keller. Professional visiting artists from the Yard will also help out with the classes, in particular drumming and rhythm training, student choreography opportunities, and end-of-session performances.
Metabolic Boot Camp
Vineyarders, do not ask whether the metabolic boot camp wants you, rather ask whether your metabolism wants boot camp.
If that sounds a bit heavy on the system, what with all those boots stomping all over your cells, think again. This camp, hosted by Jan Buhrman and run by food expert John Bagnola, is designed to lighten the load on your system so you can take your body from feeling like an old Pinto wagon to a souped-up Bondmobile.
One Way Ticket, Yeah
On Oct. 23 the Beatles are coming to the Vineyard. And you thought their debut at Shea Stadium was monumental.
For those worried, or excited, about ghostly visages, the folks playing the music will not be the Fab Four but rather local Island musicians who call themselves the Daytrippers. But close your eyes and it may truly be John, George, Paul and Ringo you hear.
Down Syndrome Discussed
Martha’s Vineyard Public Schools will host a conversation with Dr. David Stein of Boston Children’s Hospital on the social and emotional development of students with Down Syndrome on Tuesday, Oct. 11, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School. All are welcome.
Early Detection Curve
Get a mammogram and pay no fee for fitness. That’s the theme at Curves in Vineyard Haven for the month of October. In recognition of breast cancer awareness month and to raise awareness about the importance of early detection, the women’s fitness center will waive the joining fee for members who show proof of a mammogram within the last year or make a $25 donation to breast cancer research.
