5 Things

Good morning, Douglaston. The weekend is almost here. 

So, be sure to take a look at our Get Out: Weekend Planner to find out activities taking place in your community.

This morning, drop back by the site for Carol Brock's latest Notes from a Food Diva column. This week's topic is Brock's recent participation in a recent Christmas in July event.

Also, keep an eye out today for our story about a Douglaston nun who has taken on a major role at one of the city's Catholic universities.

3. At noon, stop back by for Sold! and view homes purchased in your neighborhood.

4. Basic canoeing classes will be offered at Fort Totten at 11 a.m. today.
