Five Things to Know Today
Jazzercisers Donate Food, Huskies Win Again, LHS Football Hall, Japan Benefit
- Fortunately Thursday’s snow was gone by early afternoon. Except for a few afternoon clouds, today will be mostly sunny and cool, high 41F. Winds WNW at 10 to 20 mph. Partly cloudy tonight, low near 25F, and it looks like a fairly nice weekend in store.
- Lisa Mazzaro and members of her Jazzercise class donated several boxes of food to the Ledyard Social Services Thursday. During a recent one-year celebration Mazzaro said she cooked and her students brought non-perishables to donate to the food pantry. The effort is but one piece in a county-wide effort to combat hunger in the region.
- The UConn Huskies men’s basketball team won its eighth straight Thursday, defeating the San Diego State Aztecs in the Round of 16 to advance to the Elite 8 in the NCAA Tournament’s West Regional. The Huskies can punch their ticket to a third Final Four in seven years with a win on Saturday against Arizona.
- Ledyard High School has had its share of athletic success over the years, especially on the gridiron. Next year its many prizes and accolades will be put on display at a Ledyard High School Football Hall of Fame.
- A fund-raiser tonight at Hanafin’s Irish Pub in New London will be a little out of the ordinary. It’s a concert by Local Gravy, with special drinks and a $7 door fee, all to raise money to help the people in Japan affected by the earthquake and tsunami.
