Apr. 5: Game, Set and Patch Edition

Happy Tuesday. Tennis anyone?

The court sport plays an important role in this edition of "Five Things You Need to Know Today." 

We think you'll love this edition and not in a zero points sort of way.  In addition to the start of yet another spring sport, we also have some important meetings and programs on the agenda. We'll also be following the condition of Nassau County Legislaor Peter Schimitt, who was Monday. 

Each day, we spotlight events and happenings in and around the area that we think  you ought to know about. We want your help too. If there's an event or announcement you'd like us to highlight, please contact us.
