The Times is celebrating along with you. If you will turn 70 in 2016, we’d like to photograph you at our office at 30 Beach Road in Vineyard Haven. Photos will accompany a story we are working on about Islanders in their “third act.”

We will have open studio hours on three days in the coming week: Thursday, Dec. 17, from 1 pm to 4 pm; Saturday, Dec. 19, from 10 am to 2 pm; and Monday, Dec. 21, from 10 am to 1 pm.

Portraits and quick information gathering should take no more than five minutes; coffee and snacks will be provided, and your name will be entered in a raffle for a $100 gift certificate for Bunch of Grapes. Dress however you’d like.

Write onisland@mvtimes.com with any questions, putting “The 70 Project” in the subject line.

A previous version of this story mistakenly listed the Saturday studio session as being on Dec. 18. It is on Saturday, Dec. 19, from 10 am to 2 pm.
