Monday, Monday: Council, Costumes, Volunteer and Calendar

Council - Tonight the Woonsocket City Council meets up at City Hall. There's a light agenda, concerned primarily with authorizing Mayor Leo Fontaine to enter into an agreement with the Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Cooridor to install on-road indicators for a bike patch through the city. They'll also discuss designating and marking a shared bike route connecting Blackstone River Bikeway at Davidson Avenue to the border of Woonsocket passing through Main Street. They'll also consider a number of license renewals for local businesses.

Costumes - Halloween is not that far away, and neither, likely is a party or two where you'll be needing a costume. Start thinking now if you haven't given this year's getup any thought. Check out these ideas on pinterest to get yourself started.

Autumnfest volunteers sought Want to volunteer at Autumnfest? Every year a group of awesome youth get together to help at the refreshment booth. It's a great way to catch everybody that comes through. You can sign up to just do a three-hour shift, or more. Call 401-766-3342. 

Calendar - If you've got an event you want to share with the many readers of the Woonsocket Patch, you can be your own best advocate - post it yourself to the Woonsocket Patch calendar. Fill in the blanks with your event's information, and you're good to go.

Register to vote - Oct. 7 is the deadline to register to vote for the Nov. 6 election, and Oct. 16 is the deadline to request a mail-in ballot. This election season voters will also be required to show a voter ID.
