Aldermen Consider Ad-Hoc Rail Feasibility Study

1. Free Ice Cream Cone Today: Nashua has a lot of pride in its hometown ice cream stands, but nothing beats free. Today's the day to take advantage of free Ben & Jerry's by taking a drive to Manchester's downtown Elm Street location for your scoop, free, on Ben and Jerry. Or – what the hey – take a well-deserved morning off from whatever else you were doing and head to the factory in Waterbury, Vermont. Did we mention it's free?

2. Board of Aldermen Tonight at 7:30 p.m. Lots of committee confirmations, union contract movement and parking legislation, plus Alderman Dan Moriarty will propose an ad hoc commuter rail feasibility study. Agenda is uploaded with this post for you.

3. Online Auction for Hollis Elementary: We've come a long way since the days of bake sales. Time for the 6th annual Hollis Elementary online auction fundraiser, featuring donated items from lots of Nashua businesses, like which has donated two $50 gift cards. Click here to bid, or check out the hundreds of great auction items up for grabs.

4. Does Your Kid Have a Broadway Dream? Then help make that dream a reality with this performance workshop series from right here in Nashua.

5. Turn On, Tune In: If it's Tuesday, then I must be waking up early to get to WSMN radio studio by 7 a.m. so I can talk about Nashua Patch on Nashua This Morning With George Russell. Putting the "live" in lively, the program runs from 6-9 a.m., and former Hillsborough County Attorney Dennis Hogan joins the fun at 8 a.m.
