1. Have something you'd like to see included in our Five Things? Send us an email with the details!

2. Time to clean out those closets! The NHS Girls Volleyball team is collecting any size/shape old sneakers as a fundraiser to help with the cost of warm ups for their fall season. The girls will receive funds for every pound of sneakers that are collected. Email Mariereen@aol.com to arrange pick up or you can drop them off on Saturday, Aug. 18.

3. Today is the last day for voter registration for the September 6 state primary election. The Town Clerk's office in the Town Hall will be open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

4. Stop by Limey's Pub in the center of town tonight for live music by DH and the Gentlemen!

5. Volunteers Needed: Mr. Erenworth is in need of about 10 volunteers to help stuff envelopes at the Coakley. If you are available and willing, please email Amy Sobchuk at coakleypto@gmail.com.
