While the weather is “warm” this week, make sure you venture out to a meeting or event. RUFF and NEWNC have meetings while some will learn to make puppets at the library. Read about the Great Molasses Flood Disaster Anniversary or stop by a showing of “The Hudsucker Proxy.” Friday will be the anniversary of the legendary Brinks robbery and later on, the “Know Orchestra” will be performing at the Old North Church. Enjoy the week!
