Feb. 23: We Hope You Like Movies Edition

And the Oscar goes to....

OK, we're a few days early, but one look at Wednesday's happenings in Massapequa make us think about the upcoming Academy Awards.  There's a definite Hollywood flavor to "The Five Things You Need to Know Today," but there's also an important meeting and a big game going down.

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 announcement you'd like us to highlight, please contact us.

Here's what you need to know  today:
