As an independent news source, we value your readership and support. When we’re covering a select board meeting, checking in at polling locations on Election Day, diving deep into public records, to our breaking news coverage of migrants dropped off at Martha’s Vineyard Airport, and an armed bank robbery in Vineyard Haven, we do it with you in mind.

So today, we wanted to drop into your inbox to say: thank you. Thank you for reading The Martha's Vineyard Times this year. Thank you for being an engaged member of your community. Thank you for your feedback all year long – in comments, emails, phone calls, and on social media — which hold us accountable to you, and fit to better serve you. We also enjoy those of you who take the time to stop by our offices at 30 Beach Road in Vineyard Haven for a quick chat — either to offer words of encouragement or to provide a news tip.

We hope you’re able to enjoy some time with family or friends today, or however you choose to celebrate the day. From all of us at The Martha's Vineyard Times, Happy Thanksgiving! We’re grateful for your support.
