Five Things You Need to Know Today: February 10

A few things for PSA day, which is today: special Hebrew Kirtan at Dance Friday, dating at the zoo, and learning to help seniors complete some complex, but important paperwork.

 
  1. Snow looks like it's coming our way this evening. According to the National Weather Service (which turned 142 years old yesterday), the town has about a 40 percent chance of snow starting after midnight. However, during Friday, the day should be sunny and a little warm--47ºF highs with 30ºF lows. 
  2. One of the hurdles seniors applying for MassHealth have to get over is a sheaf of paperwork. You could actually help them out with that, though. At Springwell (125 Walnut St, Watertown), they are holding an "Assist seniors--train to be a Benefits Volunteer" free training, at 9:30 a.m. About 10 hours over a 6-8 week period gets you started. 
  3. Happy "PSA Day" from Brookline Access Television. Actually, PSA (public service announcement) day is a day for non-profit and other local groups to put together a short PSA about their organization. If you want to get one together for your local group, stop by the 46 Tappan St. studio and get a free PSA made.
  4. Can't hurt to get a few pointers on your courtship rituals, but the lecture at Franklin Park Zoo may not be the ideal place to get them. Tonight, at 6:30 p.m., stop by 1 Franklin Park Rd, Dorchester for "Sex at the Zoo." It's $20 per ticket, or $35 for a pair.
  5. Dance Friday is doing something a little special tonight. 7:30 p.m., kicking off with Boston's Hebrew Kirtan band at Brookline Tai Chi. Then, from about 9:30 onward, they'll grab the DJ and return to regularly scheduled programming. It's $10 to get in, or volunteer some time. If you're under 23 years old, entry is $5.
