Elizabeth Witham and her husband Ken Wentworth of Film-Truth Productions will be presenting their documentary film, A Home for Us All, at the Martha’s Vineyard Film Festival at the Chilmark Community Center on Saturday, March 15, at 11 a.m. Liz and Ken kindly filmed the Aquinnah Housing Committee lottery held in 2007 where Amera Ignacio was the lucky and latest recipient of a youth lot in Aquinnah on which to build an affordable home. The Aquinnah Housing Committee will present a viewing of the documentary film in June, July and August at various venues in Aquinnah. Thank you to Liz and Ken for their generosity in filming the evening and for sharing their talents with one and all.
Friends of Aquinnah Public Library will be asking for donations to assist in defraying the cost of the new computers for the library. The demand for computer access has increased considerably and it was time to replace one computer and to add a new one to the collection. One new computer will be utilized for collections management and the other for public use. Tax-deductible donations to assist with the computer purchases may be sent to Friends of the Aquinnah Public Library, 65 State Road, Aquinnah MA 02535.
Egg decorating will be held on Sunday, March 16, from 1 to 5 p.m. at the Duck Inn, in preparation for the arrival of Easter the following Sunday. All are welcome to attend and assist Elise Lebovit at the decorating soiree.
