Five Things: Palms And A Fundraiser

Palm Sunday: In Christianity, today recalls the day when Jesus rode triumphantly into Jerusalem, over a palm-strewn road. It is also the start of Holy Week, the most solemn week in the Christian calendar.

'Too Much Too Soon' fundraiser: If you missed the story that posted yesterday about Andrew Maksymowicz and how he has coped with grief in the wake of losing both of his parents, check it out here. Today there’s a fundraiser for his organization – Too Much Too Soon – which helps people dealing with a cancer diagnosis or grieving a loved one, at the Greenwood Inn, 1350 Jefferson Blvd., Warwick, from noon to 3 p.m.

On Monday …

Passover begins: The Jewish celebration of Passover – when God directed the Jews to mark their doors with the blood of a lamb so death would pass over them – begins Monday night at sundown and lasts for eight days.

Christ Community Kitchen & Drum Circle: The monthly supper at St. Luke’s Church features corned beef and cabbage this Monday night, with plenty of side dishes and desserts too. All are welcome. The meal is free but donations are welcome. After the meal, you are invited upstairs to the drumming circle, where you can join in a collective rhythm session – no experience necessary! Dinner is served at 5 p.m. Drumming begins after 6.

Town Council meeting: More victualing licenses are on the agenda for Monday’s meeting, for Raw Bob’s Organic Juicery, 249 Main St. (the former home of Perle Nail Salon) and PieZoni’s (a pizza chain), 1000 Division St. PieZoni’s is also looking for a BVL class (limited) liquor license.
