Five Things To Know Today, Oct. 6

1.  Today is Thursday, Oct. 6.  The National Weather Service predicts sunny skies, a high temperature of 62 degrees, and a low of 42 tonight.

2.  The Noank Reuse Task Force meets at 7 p.m. tonight in the Town Hall Annex and will discuss the group’s recommendation to the Town Council on the best future use of the former school property.  A survey of residents found that most would like the site used for recreation or open space, and many would like the school building saved.

3. If you recognize the new furniture and shelves in Groton Public Library, there’s a reason for that; the furniture came from the Borders that closed in Waterford. The library recently replaced the old information desk with a new area that includes displays, and added new shelving and chairs. The library used the money raised from book sales to buy the items.

4.  Riverfront Children’s Center will hold its sixth Annual Silent Auction fundraiser from 7 p.m. until 10 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 14, in the galleries of the Mystic Arts Center. The event includes live music, a wine bar, hors d’oeuvres and desserts. The auction will also be the subject of Mystic Matters, the public access show that airs on Monday at 8 p.m., on Comcast Channel 12 and Thames Valley Communications Channel 12.

5.  The Fitch Crew Club & Noank Rowing will hold a pasta supper fundraiser from 5:30 p.m. until 7 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 21 at Noank Baptist Church. The group will serve sauces including red sauce with meat, red sauce without meat, pesto sauce and white sauce. Desserts will be home made. The group is asking for a $7 donation at the door, or you may buy tickets ahead of time through the Fitch Crew Club or the Noank Baptist Church.
