Library Expansion
Find out everything you ever wanted to know about the West Tisbury Public Library expansion: How much bigger? How much better? How on earth will they pay for it? Preliminary drawings and floorplans, possible new features, and a state grant that could pay up to 50 per cent of the cost all will be revealed, as will a guide to the steps leading to final vote at town meeting, 2012, at a public forum on Monday, Jan. 24 at 5:30 p.m. at the library. And they’re providing refreshments.
More, More and Some More Please
Seems greed, debt, overspending and the desire for bailouts did not begin with Ben Bernanke, George W. Bush or Barack Obama.
Shakespeare for the Masses is going obscure again — hands up who has heard of, let alone seen, Timon of Athens? (Yes, it’s a play). But wisely the object of their obscure performance is money, filthy lucre, the now-green stuff, the gold standard of gimme, gimme, gimme.
Zumba Adds Curves
Curves and Zumba Fitness have developed a 30-minute class that mixes the dance moves of Zumba with the strength training of Curves for one workout. Curves of Vineyard Haven invites Islanders to try it free for a week.
All ages, fitness levels and dance abilities can participate. During the 30-minute class, participants work out on each strength machine for one minute, when music cues them to move to the center of the circuit where a licensed Zumba instructor teaches simple, modified Zumba moves.
The first in a series of American Heart Association CPR and First Aid courses on Island takes place Tuesday and Wednesday, Jan. 18 and 19 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Mansion House in Vineyard Haven. Participants attend both sessions.
Eat, Bid and Help Hockey

The event will include a silent and live auction with a range of items up for bid including Red Sox tickets, Nascar tickets, one week in Florida, a one night stay at the Charles Hotel in Cambridge and a clambake for eight.
Doors open at 6 p.m. for the silent auction, dinner begins at 7 p.m. and the live auction gets under way at 8 p.m.
Tickets for the dinner cost $35.
Take the Microphone
WVVY 93.7 LPFM is community radio at its best. Broadcast from Martha’s Vineyard, this grassroots organization hosts an eclectic lineup of knowledgeable and freewheeling deejays to delight the most jaded listener. Jazz, blues, world music, special deejay mixes, Willy Mason and friends, Democracy Now; the question is not whether you will find something you like, but how they do it all?
