Daily Five: Doll Making, Housing Authority, The End Of Winter?

1. Whatever slushy snow we got last night might be the last gasp of winter; the extended forecast is all sunshine, showers, and even a few 50-degree highs from here. Today doesn't quite make it, topping out at 48 degrees, but it's a partly sunny day with an overnight low at the freezing point. Sunrise is 6:41 a.m., sunset is 7:07 p.m.

2. Margarita Hernandez-Maxson is offering a doll-making workshop at the Public Library of New London. This is free with all materials available, but pre-registration with the library is required. The activity starts at 5:30 p.m.

3. The New London Housing Authority Board of Commissioners holds their annual meeting today. This takes place at 5 p.m. at the meeting room of the George Washington Carver Apartments at 202 Colman Street.

4. A new look is coming to the New London Patch, and you can find out more at the top of Saturday’s newsletter. If you’re not subscribed to the newsletter, you can do so here.

5. Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan of New York died 10 years ago today. Moynihan served as ambassador to India and United States representative to the United Nations before he was elected to the Senate in 1976; he remained there until choosing not to run for re-election in 2000.
