Thursday: Auditions, Commission And Dickens

Little Mermaid - Stadium Theatre will host auditions for Disney's Little Mermaid Jr. tonight, 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. All roles are open to children between the ages of 6 - 18. The show will take place on Nov. 9 - 11.

Budget Commission - The people currently holding the city's purse strings meet again this afternoon at 3:30 p.m. on the third floor conference room at Woonsocket City Hall. On their agenda, a talk on Davison Landfill with Sheila McGauvran and a discussion of the invoice from B&E Consulting with Superintendent Giovanna Donoyan.

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. If you're an unaffiliated voter, you can vote as either Republican or Democratic in the Sept. 11 primary - just ask the poll worker to to dis-affiliate you on the way out after to return to independent status. This election season voters will also be required to show a voter ID.

Ranger Walkabout - The Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor will host its final summer ranger walkabout in front of Mechanics Hall at 321 Main Street, Worcester at 6:30 to 8 p.m. for a tour of Charles Dickens’ Worcester. Each Thursday, National Park Service Rangers offer a free program - a chance for you to explore part of the history or natural beauty of the valley. All Walkabout programs are free, and begin at 6:30 pm.
