Five Things You Need to Know Today: October 6

What are your plans for the day? We've got an author coming to town, a chance to get involved in the town government, folk music at EPOCH and a chance to make scarecrows.

 
  1. The National Weather Service report for Brookline indicates that today will be sunny, 60ºF, and pretty nice. The evening will cool off to 39ºF and get partly cloudy. 
  2. EPOCH Assisted Living at Boylston Place will host their Folk concert with David LaFleur at 3:30 p.m. LaFleur is a 20-year veteran of the folk scene, and will entertain with a mix of folk and blues, all acoustic. RSVP to Julie Bolt at 617-879-2589, as space is limited.
  3. Fall is here, Halloween around the corner, and Allandale Farm is going to help you make some new friends. Scarecrow-Making Workshops are today at 3:30 pm, and will run you $15. Scarecrows love hand-me-downs, so bring a long-sleeved shirt and pants in childs sizes.
  4. Warrant Article 7 handles the sale of tobacco in pharmacies and other medical facilities. Tonight, there is an Advisory Board Meeting to Discuss Warrant Article 7. It starts at 6 p.m. at the Brookline Town Hall. If you have an opinion about the article, come to the meeting for more information.
  5. Julie Otsuka's "The Buddha in the Attic" is a story about "picture brides" brought over from Japan nearly a century ago. Her previous novel, "When the Emperor was Divine" been compared favorably to "To Kill a Mockingbird," and at 7 p.m., she will be at the Brookline Booksmith
