Rick Bausman and the Drum Workshop are bringing the beat to a whole new level. Called BeatFeat the idea is as simple and perfect as a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, two great things finally coming together as one. Participants play the drums while working out on a stationary spinning bike.
Seeing is believing, so check out the video at drum-workshop.org. Then go join the band.
Classes take place on Wednesdays at 11 a.m. and Thursdays at 7 p.m. at the newly established Om of Motion on State Road in West Tisbury.
The Summer Institute at the Martha’s Vineyard Hebrew Center has traditionally programmed its summer movie series with selections from the Boston Jewish Film Festival. This year, however, they have taken matters into their own hands by programming the festival themselves, becoming, in a sense, an international film festival unto themselves.
This summer’s slate of films includes both documentaries and features from around the world.
O Negative Blood Needed
The American Red Cross doesn’t care if you’re a Twilight fan or not; they’re about saving lives. To that end, every pint of blood makes a big difference.
Next Tuesday, June 21, from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. the Red Cross will be at the Portuguese-American Club on Vineyard avenue in Oak Bluffs.

There were plenty of clams shelled out on Saturday afternoon at Nancy’s Snack Bar in Oak Bluffs, and all for a good cause. It was the fifth annual quahaug and oyster shucking contest, and this year the cause was the Animal Shelter of Martha’s Vineyard, which collected a lot of clams — $1,000 to be exact.
