Monday Five: Council & Supermarkets, No Snow, Santa Schedule, Charity

It's another Monday, but one less day till Christmas. Check out these things to know.

 

Council - The Woonsocket City Council will meet tonight at 7 p.m. in Harris Hall on the third floor of City Hall, 169 Main St. Among the items on their agenda, they'll discuss an ammendment to zoning bylaws to allow supermarkets in C-1 zones. The change will enable the lot on Hamlet Street, a former mill site, to be developed as a supermarket, according to Economic Development Director Matt Wojcik. 

Tut-tut - Will Christopher Robin grow up to be a weather guy? It's anybody's guess, but weather.com is predicting rain with a little more science under its belt — no offense to the denizens of the 100-acre Wood. Not looking good for those hoping for snow. There'll be more rain tomorrow, too.

Santa - St. Nick is clearing some time off his schedule between now and Christmas Eve to add a few things to his list - you can catch him tomorrow from 6-8 p.m. at the mini park next to City Hall, inside the Santa House. Check here for a complete schedule.

Charity - There are a lot of opportunities to help your fellow man during December. Two of them include making donations to the WPD holiday toy drive and the Because He Lives Ministries food kitchen. Navigant Credit Union is a local drop off spot for Toys for Tots, and the YWCA's Mitten Treeis up and ready. Spare some of your time for them today.
