“Martha’s Vineyard, a small place with a strong sense of community,” says Walter Cronkite in the Stone Soup Leadership Institute’s video trailer. “People help each other out. They care for the elderly. Help with each other’s kids. They raise a barn and help raise the community spirit.”
On this occasion of our 30th anniversary, we are grateful to all those who supported our efforts over the years. We’re especially grateful to everyone who is nurturing the island’s community spirit – and to all those who continue to protect and preserve this very special place, Martha’s Vineyard.
We invite you to join us in celebrating the Institute’s 30th Anniversary with these 30 photos from Martha’s Vineyard to islands and communities around the world.
