Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me

Good morning, Douglaston.

The rain is expected to return today and tomorrow, according to the weather report. The good news is that temperatures are expected to stay in the 60s and 70s through the weekend.

Today, we will put out a recruitment call for local bloggers. We'd love to give the community more of a voice on Douglaston Patch. So, keep your eye out for a post in which we explain how you can write about your community concerns and neighborhood goings-on on the site.

Also, drop by later this morning for this week's Whiz Kid and this afternoon for Great Escape.

Here are 5 Things You Need to Know Today:

1. Later today, check out our recruitment call for bloggers. We're looking for civic members, elected officials, organizations, churches, artists of various types and local residents to write on the site.

2. Check back for Whiz Kid and Great Escape.

3. Alley Pond Environmental Center is hosting a walkathon on May 1.

4. Bayside High School's Lady Commodores softball team will play Richmond Hill High School today.
