The Chilmark Town Affairs Council, Inc. is a not-for-profit corporation which has been qualified as a charitable organization under the Internal Revenue Code. The Town Affairs Council is run by its executive officers and members. The members of the Town Affairs Council are selected based upon their commitment to the recreational, social and cultural needs of the Chilmark Community Center and the Town of Chilmark. The primary functions of the Town Affairs Council are to solicit contributions for the benefit of the facilities and programs of the Community Center, to oversee and advise on broad fiscal issues concerning the operations of the Community Center, and to provide a liaison between the year-round and summer residents of Chilmark in matters relating to the Community Center and the social, recreational and facilities needs of the Town of Chilmark. During its existence, the Town Affairs Council has been responsible for the building of the Community Center, including its tennis courts and other recreational facilities, the acquisition of equipment required for the summer activities of the Community Center, including sail boats and transportation vehicles, and the coordination with the Town of Chilmark of improvements to the Community Center building for the mutual benefit of year-round and summer residents. Each year the Town Affairs Council and the Town of Chilmark contribute to a joint maintenance fund for the facilities of the Community Center. Under existing IRS regulations, all contributions to the Chilmark Town Affairs Council, Inc. are fully tax deductible. Contributions may be unrestricted or designated for one of the special trusts that have been established in connection with the Community Center: the Jean Weldon Fund for the Arts and Crafts Program and the Charlie French Fund for the Sailing Program. Each year the Town Affairs Council conducts an annual appeal to provide funds for capital improvements to the Community Center. Periodically, more extensive appeals are made for major development projects.

The Community Center would like to thank Hugh Weisman, the founder of the Chilmark Road Race, for the countless hours that he and his family dedicate annually to the organization of the Run-for-the-Lobster. The Road Race is one of the highlights of every Chilmark summer and an important fund-raiser for the Center.
