VINEYARD GOLF CHARITY CLASSIC
Monday, September 30 - VGC
 
Registration starts at 8:00 am and shot gun tee off is at 9.  We will arrange transportation to and from the ferry.  The tournament is held at the private Vineyard Golf Course, which is the first and preeminent totally organic golf course in the country and was voted as the best new private course in the country in 2016.  It is a walking course, but one cart and caddy will be provided for each foursome.  There will be a continental breakfast, snacks and buffet as well as door prizes, with a chance to win a new Jeep Grand Cherokee, a trip for two to Ireland, a million dollar shoot out and a ten thousand dollar putting contest.  The cost is $625 per person and all of the above is included. VineyardGolf.com to see more about the course.
 
 
The Rotary Club of Martha's Vineyard has been sponsoring this tournament since 2004 and in 2016 partnered with Community Services.  Bob Clermont can be reached at 508-627-1929 or email at: Adventurethrifty@aol.com

Our Charity Committee is one of our most active committees, meeting monthly to review grant requests. Most recipients receive under $2000, but all together we gave away around $25,000 in the last fiscal year! That's a lot of good work that our Rotary Club of MV has supported! In addition to grants, our weekly speakers receive an honorarium to donate to the charity of their choice.
 
Last year we were pleased and proud to support:
 
African Artists Community Development Project, Animal Shelter of MV, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Camp Jabberwoky, Community Suppers, Connect to End Violence, Elder SErvices of Cape Cod and The Islands, ELL Lunch Program, Federated Church, Felix Neck preschool, Friends of the Edgartown Library, FUEL, Fuel assistance program, Good Shepherd, Habitat for Humanity, Harbor Homes, Hospice of MV, IBFCA, Institute for Nonprofit Practice, Island Blue Pages, Island Food Pantry, Island Grown Initiative, Island Housing Trust, Misty Meadoows, MV Crop Walk, MV Mediation Program, MV Youth Task Force, MVCS, NE Classic Tour De Cure, Plastic Free MV, Project Vine, Rhythm of Life, Ronald McDonald House, Sail MV, Song Exchange Project, The Dictionary Project, Tisbury Firefighters, UMC Clothes to Go, Vineyard Conservation Society, VMS

David Behnke, MV Chamber Music Society
April 23, 2024

David Behnke gave us a great update on all the events and programs the MV Chamber Music Society (MVCMS) provides for the island.
To start, he pointed to the rotary pin he was wearing, which his father had worn as president of a rotary club in New Jersey. He also shared with us that, after graduating from Yale, he received a Rotary grant to attend the Paris Conservatory of Music!

The MVCMS is planning more event’s year-round in more venues around the island than ever. There will be an emphasis on encouraging young talent and expanding programs beyond just the old classical masters. Also, they have active educational programs to encourage and support youth participation in music and playing.

Everyone is encouraged to visit their website at https://www.mvcms.org to see all the events planned.
