5 Things You Need to Know Today: March 20

Our weekday morning column, 5 Things You Need to Know, provides you with information that can help you plan your day and give you some fodder for water cooler conversations.

1. Welcome, Spring! It may still feel chilly, but the winter has ended. If you snap a photo that says spring, share it and win a chance at a $25 gift card.

2. Garbage will be collected a day late this week, due to the storm Tuesday that prevented collections.

3. A new laundromat — EZ Laundromat — has opened in downtown Milford, on School Street, next to Memorial Hall. It features free wireless and allows customers to use credit cards to operate machines.

4. Are you looking for the Easter Bunny? We've published a list of Easter related events for children, and will update as more are known. Please add your event to the post by adding a comment if we forgot you.

5. The 2013 Relay for Life for Greater Milford will be held overnight, from May 10-11 at Milford High School. This is a popular event that brings together cancer survivors and their supporters, and raises money for the American Cancer Society. A team information meeting will be Tuesday at the First Congregational Church. Still time to sign up a team!
