5 THINGS: Work Sessions and URI Swag

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Monday, March 4, 2013:

“If you fear making anyone mad, then you ultimately probe for the lowest common denominator of human achievement.” – Jimmy Carter. Here are today’s government meetings:

Looking for some sweet University of Rhode Island athletics swag? Check out the Rhody Auctions marketplace! On sale now are some classic men’s basketball warm-ups, and some throwbacks. The latest round of auctions ends March 6.

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 Saint Casimir's 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 price to join was probably 14 jugs of delicious maple syrup. On this day in 1791, Vermont became the 14^th state.

Hint – His nickname is exactly what it sounds like on the tin. If David “Robber” Lewis was still alive today, he’d be 223 years old. However, I guess he couldn’t rob from Father Time – ha ha ha!
