5 THINGS: Pick-Up Hoops, Music and Photography

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Monday, July 2:

To paraphrase Chicago, “Monday, in the park.” Free weekly concerts at Marina Park start tonight at 6:30 p.m. For more info, click . The Wakefield Civic Band, under the direction of Mr. Barry Liebermann, is scheduled to perform.

Pick-up ball. There is for adults 35+ at Peace Dale Elementary School from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The cost is $5.

Check out some wonderful photography. Downstairs in the Courthouse Center for the Arts, that is. The of Onne van der Wal is free to view. The galleries are open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Parkinson’s disease support group today at the Center. It meets from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. For more info, click .

The business of government business. The Narragansett Town Council at 7:30 p.m. tonight.

Blogging, events, letters, what more could you want? Many people often ask me, “Hey are you the Patch guy?” And the answer is yes, yes I am. Then, most often they want to know how they can get things on the site. Let me present you with three options:

• The easiest way for me is if you use our blog form. If you have a user account, congrats! You can submit directly to our queue by going here. For more info on blogging, go here.
• If you think your item is more appropriate for the events calendar, that's a simple enough process as well. Go here, and then hit the “Add An Event” button at the bottom of the page. (Note: You might want to search for your event first, since we do have a calendar editor that adds things on her own awesome initiative.)
• Finally, do you need some input before posting? Or do you have a release that is more of a traditional “letter to the editor” thing? Fine then – send it along to me, either at stephen.greenwell@patch.com or narragansett@patch.com.

I would like to receive your periodical on a full-time daily basis. If that's the case, then you can get it in your e-mail box, bright and early each morning, by going here.

A proud day for those needing $1 plates and rugs. On this day in 1962, the first Wal-Mart opened.

Happy 48^th, I guess! It is the birthday for Jose Canseco, who’s not a great guy or anything, but well… It’s his birthday. Send him a cake or something.
