5 THINGS: College Stuff and Holiday Stuff

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Wednesday, December 5, 2012:

Want more education in your life? The Education Exchange is hosting a transition to college information session. It’s free, and goes on at 10 a.m. For more info, click here.

Speaking of things at college… The University of Rhode Island is hosting a mini-mall at the Memorial Union at 10 a.m. For more info, click here.

Story time! There are stories for kids from ages 3 to 5 at 10:30 a.m. at Peace Dale Library.

"Acting is the most minor of gifts and not a very high-class way to earn a living. After all, Shirley Temple could do it at the age of four." – Katherine Hepburn. The Contemporary Theater Company hosts acting lessons at 5 p.m. The cost is $10, and they do take place every Wednesday, in case you can’t make this one session.

Oh no! Maybe there seriously aren’t that many events today, given that it’s Discovery Day in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. As a result, our events calendar for today is a bit barren. If you’re having an event, please let us know in the comments. Also, make sure it isn’t left out in the future – Submit it via this link (as long as you’re logged into your Patch account).

Santa!!! The South Kingstown Guild is hosting Santa on Dec. 5, 6 and 7, but the program is limited to SK residents. For more info, click here.

Give the gift of food this holiday season. Children’s Dentistry of Wakefield is having a food drive from now until Dec. 19. For more info, click here.

Sign up for our daily newsletter! Hey, I realize we have a lot of neat features and knick-knacks on the site, so it can be confusing to keep up with it all. Want just one simple, easy to read daily digest? Sign up for our e-mail newsletter here then. It comes out between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. roughly, every single day of the week. Amazing, I know!

And Al Capone rejoiced. On this day in 1933, prohibition in the United States ended as Utah ratified the 21^st Amendment to the Constitution.

“They looking for a hero / I guess that makes me a hero.” Happy 30^th birthday to Keri Hilson!
