5 THINGS: Meetings, Basketball and Games

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Monday, February 25, 2013:

“There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America.” – Bill Clinton. Here are today’s government meetings:

• The Narragansett 125^th Anniversary Planning Committee meets at 3 p.m.

• The South Kingstown Town Council meets at 7:30 p.m. A work session is being held at 6:45 p.m.

Girls’ and boys’ high school basketball playoff brackets scheduled for release today. Although they aren’t yet posted on the RIIL site, brackets are due to be released Monday for the girls’ basketball playoffs – divisions I, II and III – and the boys’ basketball state tournament. For those brackets, click here. Locally, South Kingstown, Narragansett and Prout should have teams in the girls’ playoffs, and Prout has a chance to make the boys’ state tournament.

Has the time or date or details of one of your events changed? If you posted the event yourself on our site, then remember – You can always change the details if you’re logged into your Patch account. Failing that, leave a comment on the item in question! The issue is that lately, people have been e-mailing me, and depending on the time of the day, it can take me anywhere from 30 minutes or 30 hours to get to the item, unfortunately. As a result, I encourage you all to be as proactive as possible!

Oh no! Maybe there seriously aren’t that many events today, given that it’s Kuwait National Day. 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).

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.

Jolly good! On this day in 1951, the first Pan Am Games were held in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Ann Perkins! Happy 37^th birthday to Rashida Jones! You might know her from Parks and Recreation, or The Office.
