January 27, 2017

January transitions into February in the Week Ahead amidst unseasonably warm weather that makes getting out and about easier and more pleasurable than when the cold winds of winter blow.  Luckily, there is no dearth of things to do. Interspersed among the dependable events that include a selection of films screening at Island libraries (and theaters of course!) and trivia nights, this week the Martha’s Vineyard Museum invites us to celebrate the opening of their latest exhibit and the Sharks will be hosting a fun-filled fundraiser that provides the perfect excuse to party and dream of summer days ahead.  Enjoy!
