We must provide expected services
As a resident of this Island who enjoys eating out fairly often, I encourage others to vote yes for beer and wine in Tisbury for several reasons.
Church/state, no divide
The decision of the town of West Tisbury at the annual town meeting to spend $150,000 on the Congregational Church, in addition to the $30,000 it has already spent, is totally unacceptable.
Vibrant again
Of the many important reasons to vote yes for beer and wine in Tisbury, I want to emphasize that the health of our business community is critical to the health of our entire town.
Real change for the better
A yes vote to permit the sale of beer or wine will allow only the following to occur: The sale of only beer or wine, only with food, only at your table, only at dining establishments approved and licensed by the town, only at those with at least 30 seats, and only by wait staff who have received state approved certification.
A straightforward issue
You'd never know it from all of the emotional rhetoric, but the beer and wine question facing Tisbury voters next Tuesday is a remarkably straightforward issue.
Enhance the community
We live and work in Vineyard Haven, and we are in support of beer and wine.
Our town needs our help
As spring fills the air with the new arrival of life and energy, Vineyard Haven is calling for our help.
Safe to walk downtown
I am a sixth grade student living in California who comes to Martha's Vineyard every summer.
The end of tranquility
To the Editor: If the citizens of Tisbury open the door to alcohol sales even a tiny crack, we invite nothing less than the demise of 300 years of tranquility.
The economics of it for businesses
I don't enjoy being stirred into the same pot as some landlords that a few of the Letters to the Editor have portrayed in the last few weeks.
Negative effect
If you have dined out in Vineyard Haven in the past eight years, then we have probably met.
Saved from certain death
I would like to thank with all my heart the two brave men that saved my small dog from certain death last Sunday, April 11.
The new hospital thanks Islanders
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who joined us on Saturday evening and throughout the day on Sunday, for making our community's dream of a new hospital come true.
Cruel and unnecessary
In the last few weeks, I watched my very healthy three-year-old cat become more and more despondent and most assuredly ill.
A life saved
We are fortunate to have public servants who are compassionate and vigilant, as they perform their daily duties for the community, eager to risk life and limb, reluctant to take credit, even in the case of saving a life.
Vote no on beer/wine
Two of the qualities of life in our community in Vineyard Haven will be affirmed by voting no on Article 1, to limit the sale of alcohol in the town of Tisbury, on April 27 – our grandchildren and "getting away from it all.
A cause dear to her
Thanks to all who donated their time, services, words, song, and goods for the wonderful memorial and celebration event for Penelope Dickens.
