5 THINGS: Meetings, Belly Dancing and The Wolf

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Monday, May 13, 2013:

“For us, sons of France, political sentiment is a passion, while for the Englishmen, politics are a question of business.” – Wilfird Laurier. Here are today’s government meetings:

• The North Kingstown Town Council meets at 5:30 p.m.

Celeste-A-Thon! Supercuts is hosting a fundraiser all day for Boston Marathon bombing survivors Celeste and Sydney Corcoran. For more info, click here.

Learn a new art form. Bellydancing for beginners is available at Lotus Fire Yoga and Healing today, at 4:30 p.m. The cost is $15. For more info, click here.

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 us, and depending on the time of the day, it can take 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!

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.

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

How aptly named! On this day in 1861, the Great Comet of 1861 is discovered.

Happy birthday to The Wolf! Harvey Keitel turns 74 today. As the Wolf would say, just because you are a character doesn’t mean you have character.
