Five Things You Need to Know: June 8

These are the things that you must know.

Here are five things to know for today.

1.. This wouldn't be important news for the Montgomery County/Takoma Park area expect that the U.S. Open is being held at Congressional Golf Course in Bethesda.

2. The Takoma Junction Task Force held its bimonthly meeting last night at the Takoma Park Community Center and we'll have a report on it later today.

3. This one is a repeat from Monday, but that's because it's important. And we'll keep repeating it as the day gets closer. Capital City Cheesecake will be hosting artist nights every Thursday starting July 21. The nights will feature wine and a performer, writer or artist showcasing his or her work. Check back this week for a full story on CCC's plans.

4. For our Jewish readers (or anyone interested in world culture), Shavuot is started at nightfall June 7 and continues through today and tonight. The high holy day commemorates the anniversary of the day God gave the Torah to the Israelites. That's a pretty big deal.
