1. St. Bernadette School invites all veterans and friends to attend a special Veterans Day Program today at 1:30 p.m. The school's students will salute the American Flag, sing patriotic songs and offering prayers for veterans. The students will also make a presentation to all veterans in attendance.
2. With Veterans Day being observed on Monday, it's a great time to share the stories of men and women who have served our country. Our blogging platform, which allows you to post directly to Patch, is a wonderful forum for this. I'll get you started as we honor our veterans: here's a blog I wrote recently after my grandfather, a World War II veteran, was honored in Westborough with a prestigious medal from the French government.
3. A Veterans Day reminder: though Monday is a federal holiday, it is NOT one of the days that delays trash pickup in Northborough. For your planning purposes, trash will be collected as usual next week.
4. Our story about selectmen's decision to allow a Turkish restaurant to feature belly-dancers has garnered comments from residents on both sides of the issue. What do you think?
5. We can't stop smiling when looking at all the adorable baby photos readers have submitted to our Picture of the Week contest. Have you entered a photo yet of a baby in your life?
