5 Things to do Today in Shrewsbury

Here are five things to do today, Monday, Nov. 1 in town:

1. Looking to get rid of Halloween candy? Bring it to Spring Street School this week and it will be donated to St. Anne's pantry for the Thanksgiving baskets that are donated to families in need.

2. Want to know more about your town? Come down to the Board of Selectmen's meeting at 7 p.m. tonight at the town hall, 100 Maple Ave.

3. Want to meet other moms and their babies? Go to the Shrewsbury Child Development Committee's Mom & Baby Playgroup at the Shrewsbury Public Library at 10:15 a.m. at 609 Main St.

4. Want to donate to a great cause? Help SELCO and the Worcester County Food Bank create a hunger-free community by donating non-perishable food items to the SELCO office at the town hall any day this month. Enter for a chance to win a Showtime prize pack including Showtime gear, DVDs and three free months of Showtime unlimited service.

5. Want to help families stay warm this winter? Donate money to the "Share the Warmth" campaign run by SELCO and help your neighbors who are having difficulty paying their electric bills this winter. Please give generously using the envelope included in this month's SELCO bill, or click the "Donate to Share the Warmth" icon on their Web site. 100 percent of donations go directly to Shrewsbury residents in need.
