Five Things: OK, The Giants Won The Super Bowl And It's Time To Help Shape Ledyard's Budget

1. Everyone will be talking about the Super Bowl today. Manning's fourth-quarter come-back drive was excellent.

2. The school board is hosting a public hearing Tuesday, Feb. 7 at 7 p.m. in the auditorium to discuss the proposed budget cuts. The cut to Project Oceanology may be especially criticized in light of Ledyard’s unprecedented victory in the Quahog Bowl this weekend. 

3. On that note, budget season is upon us and town councilor Linda Davis counted out more than 20 public meetings and hearings on shaping the next year’s budget. All are welcome and she encouraged Ledyard residents to join in the process.

4. The Ledyard Parks and Recreation Department is looking for instructors. The website says, “if you have a skill or talent and would like to teach a class, or have an idea for a program, give us at call.” The number is 860-464-9112 and you can download the Class Proposal form from their website.

5. Tonight Bob Walsh returns to Bill Library to discuss his latest trip to the Alaskan wilderness. Alaska: Salmon, Bears and Rainbow Trout documents his recent trip with photographs of Alaskan wildlife. The presentation begins at 7 p.m.
