Today begins the second day of the Teddy Bear Suite. Yesterday, dozens of people visited the Suite, room 201 at the Harbor View, and shared in the holiday magic. Children went from room to room meeting all the bears, sharing hugs and enjoying the splendor surrounding them. The teddy bears made a lot of people happy, and they are definitely doing their part to make Christmas in Edgartown beary special.
Another new, wonderful thing for this year is that you can take a teddy bear home with you as memento of the magic of the Teddy Bear Suite. For a donation of $10.00 or more, this adorable, cuddly bear can be all yours. Bear in mind this little friendt will be sure to make someone very happy, and the proceeds go to the Martha’s Vineyard Boys & Girls Club After School Program. We’re working hard with your help raise money for the remaining $243,000 needed to run this important program.
So far, we have raised a little over $2,000, but we would love to raise $5,000 or more this year. If you can’t visit the Teddy Bear Suite or would like to contribute, click here to make your tax-deductable donation. By the way, Point B Realty is contributing 50-cents for every dollar raised online, which could push our total up to $7,500 if we make our goal! Help us make the goal and support our Island kids.
We hope that even more friends visit the Teddy Bear Suite, where holiday memories are made, after the Christmas in Edgartown Parade. The bears will be there waiting for you!

Hi Guinevere and Wendy,
Christine and I would love to purchase one of the 2012 Bears, any chance you could hold one back for us? We will also be making a donation shortly.
All the best,
Martin and Christine.
Hey Martin,
Thank you, Christine, and Hamish so much for your donation today. While the 2012 Teddy Bear sold out today, we did hold one back for you. Could you please separately email me (Wendy at Point B) your mailing address, so that we can make sure our Teddy Bear Suite reaches you. Also, we’d love to see you again on the Island, let us know when you’re coming back!
Wendy & Win
