5 THINGS: Eagle Scouting!

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Saturday, December 15, 2012:

Help Kyle Moses earn his Eagle Scout badge! He’s looking to construct a path from South Pier Road to Westmoreland Street, which would allow the cross-country team to host meets. If you want to help out, meet at the Pier School at 9 a.m. For more info and details of what to bring, click here.

AWWW ANIMALS! The South Kingstown Animal Shelter has its holiday open house from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more info, and the holiday wish list for the shelter, click here.

Got an act? A national television series is auditioning people for a $10,000 prize at the Courthouse Center for the Arts at 9:30 a.m. on December 15, 16 and 17. For more info, click here.

Oh no! Maybe there seriously aren’t that many events today, given that it’s Kingdom Day in the Netherlands. As a result, our events calendar for today is a bit barren. If you’re having an event, please let us know in the comments. Also, make sure it isn’t left out in the future – Submit it via this link (as long as you’re logged into your Patch account).

Give the gift of food this holiday season. Children’s Dentistry of Wakefield is having a food drive from now until Dec. 19. For more info, click here.

Sign up for our daily newsletter! Hey, I realize we have a lot of neat features and knick-knacks on the site, so it can be confusing to keep up with it all. Want just one simple, easy to read daily digest? Sign up for our e-mail newsletter here then. It comes out between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. roughly, every single day of the week. Amazing, I know!

Frankly, you might give a damn. On this day in 1939, Gone With The Wind had its United State premiere.

A wide receiver just winced somewhere, and he wonders why. Happy 40th birthday to former Pro Bowl safety Rodney Harrison!
