What is Plum 98? It’s a collection of 98 individuals (a nice, round number) who have etched a mark in the Martha's Vineyard community with positive energy and vision. Be it in the realm of art, recreation or politics, we at Plum want to recognize these local stars for their encouragement and inspiration.
