To the Editor:

At the January meeting of the Martha’s Vineyard Women’s Club, Connie Teixeira was the guest speaker. Her presentation was on the homeless of Martha’s Vineyard. The Rev. Rick Rugo assisted her, and expanded on the subject.

A lack of motel rooms or similar temporary shelter is one of the problems here, and people sometimes need to be sent to Hyannis for help.

If you can help in any way, please contact Connie Teixeira, PO Box 1425, Vineyard Haven, MA 02568, for the Homeless Initiative Fund.
