Obamacare and Small Business Roundtable Luncheon Today (and 4 More Things)

Here's a handful of things to keep in mind for today.

If you have an event you'd like us to consider for Five Things, click here to add it to the events calendar. We check it often!

Obamacare and Small Employers: From noon to 1:30 p.m. today, Sept. 13, the Southern RI Chamber of Commerce (230 Old Tower Hill Rd., Wakefield), will host "Obamacare: How it Affects Small Employers". The free event will feature a luncheon roundtable discussion with Kristy Armstrong (the Fabulous Flying CPA), Michael Paolino (Edward Jones Investments) and James Lawrence (Lawrence and Associates). Click here to register.

Get star struck at the Frosty Drew Observatory's Public Stargazing Night (61 Park Ln., Charlestown), this and every Friday night at 6 p.m. Be sure to subscribe to the Frost Drew Observatory mailing list or follow them on Twitter (@FrostyDrewOBSY) to receive status updates about our public stargazing program. This is a free event, however donations are greatly appreciated. 

Triskaidekaphobia, anyone? Today is Friday the 13th - what many consider to be the unluckiest day ever! Check out today's post, "Friday the 13th: Facts Behind the Superstition" to learn some weird facts about this day that makes black cats, mirrors and even ladders seem just a tad more ominous than usual.

Free Cancer Screening: I know this isn't the most fun thing to plan ahead for, but it sure is important! On Saturday, Sept. 14 from 9-11:30 a.m., South County Hospital (100 Kenyon Ave., Wakefield) is hosting a Free Prostate Cancer Screening. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death for American men. This disease generally has no early symptoms, so annual screening is vitally important. Detected early, prostate cancer is highly treatable. Screening saves lives! Click here to register for your screening or call (401) 788-1647. Walk-ins are also welcome.
