5 THINGS: Town Council, Jackie Robinson and Dictionaries

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Monday, April 15, 2013:

“No president who performs his duties faithfully and conscientiously can have any leisure.” – James K. Polk. Here are today’s government meetings:

• The South Kingstown Recreation Commission meets at 7 p.m.
• The Narragansett Town Council meets at 7:30 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 Jackie Robinson 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.

“And lo, ‘ain’t’ is not a word, so don’t be using it, you hear?” On this day in 1755, A Dictionary of the English Language was printed in London.

Don’t you miss the breathless updates about her status at Brown from The Projo? Happy 25^th birthday to Emma “Harry Potter” Watson!
