Welcome to 5 Things, your daily resource for community events, happenings in town, and little tidbits of information. Here are five things you need to know today, Feb. 17, in Danvers:

1. Networking opportunity: Check out the Networking Group for Job Seekers this morning at 10:30 at the Peabody Institute Library. This week's focus is the art of the interview.

3. This afternoon officially kicks off February vacation for Danvers Public Schools. Not sure what to do with the kids while they're home? On Monday we'll take a look at some of the fun, public events happening, but if you know of a family event in town, be sure to add it to our Events Calendar.

4. Don't forget the umbrella: Chances of rain are 90 percent today, according to the National Weather Service. With high temperatures predicted at 47 degrees, snow isn't looking like an option.
