5 THINGS: Nobody Beats The Biz, Hank Aaron or Councils

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Monday, April 8, 2013:

“Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.” – Abraham Lincoln. Here are today’s government meetings:

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

Mmm, delicious vegetables and produce! Goose Pond Farm of West Kingston is offering community supported agriculture accounts from this season to Dec. 31. For more info, click here.

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 International Draw A Bird 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.

The true home run king! On this day in 1974, Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth’s career home run record.

Nobody beats The Biz! Happy 49^th birthday to Marcel Theo Hall, also known as Biz Markie.
