Community Corner
Five Things: Land Trust, School Committee
Your guide for life in East Greenwich today, July 16.
Weather: Yesterday was beautiful – all those puffy clouds – but really hot. Today looks to be the same. The ocean beaches, a pool, or an afternoon matinee are your best bets. If you are in dire need of free A/C, head to Swift Community Center between 9 and 5 p.m. or the EG Free Library between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. Also, the Community Room at the police station is open until 8 p.m. Got any great ideas for beating the heat? Leave them in the comments section, please!
School Committee meeting: The panel meets in the library at Cole Middle School at 7 p.m. Click here for the agenda.
Land Trust meeting: The panel meets in the conference room across from Council Chambers at Town Hall at 7 p.m. Click here for the agenda.

Trivia Contest @ The Grille: Tuesday night is Trivia Night at the Grille on Main. It’s loads of fun whether you compete with a large group or just with your date. There are prizes every round, as well as a grand prize. The only catch? You have to be there by 8 p.m. to enter.
Save the Bay Swim: I’m going to be swimming the Bay on Saturday and I wanted to connect with any other EG swimmers, kayakers or volunteers to arrange a photo before or after the swim. If you are participating, shoot me an email. If by chance you are interested in donating, you can support me in my swim here.
