5 Things You Need to Know Today

The sun may come out and the rains may subside in Douglaston today, but the temperature is expected to drop. 

So, bundle up if you plan to attend any of the events on Douglaston Patch's calendar today or just stay in, stay warm and stay tuned for today's stories as they pop up on the site this afternoon.

Here are 5 Things You Need to Know Today:

1. Read our stories about a burglary on 60th Avenue and a holiday show by the National Arts League.

2. Keep an eye out for several previews that are on the way this week, including stories on the Bayside Hills Civic Association's holiday lighting ceremony (posted yesterday), the Douglaston Village Chamber of Commerce's tree lighting and Alley Pond Environmental Center's holiday auction.

3. For more holiday fun, visit Queensborough Community College's celebration of Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanza. See our calendar listing.

4. Head over to Bayside High School to watch the boys varsity basketball team play Campus Magnet High School.

5. Write to Douglaston Patch Editor Nathan Duke: nathan.duke@patch.com. We'd love to get tips from you. Please let us know what is taking place in your community. Keep us posted on holiday parties and events that are coming up. Point us in the direction of a Douglaston resident who would make for a great feature profile.
