The last push is upon us for gift shopping. Here are some sales, deals, and ideas.
The Vineyard Conservation Society (VCS) has partnered with the authors of the award-winning book “Martha’s Vineyard – Now & Zen,” Susan Klein and Alan Brigish, who have kindly offered to donate 50 percent of the proceeds from the book sales to VCS. To take advantage of this opportunity, which if you choose could include adding a personal inscription in the book from the authors, or other donation options to VCS, visit the VCS website at vineyardconservation.org or call them at 508-693-9588.
