Teachers' Convention & WWII Show

Happy Thursday, friends and fans. It's almost weekend time.

Until then, though, there are a few things going on.

Around the towns today …

• It's the first day of the NJEA teachers' convention, so school is out for today and tomorrow. The kids are home. So, it's either time for a day trip, a local outing or, maybe, just lounging around.

• The Fair Haven Zoning Board meets tonight at 7:15 p.m.

• The Monmouth County Library in Shrewsbury Township is featuring a World War II tribute with a performance by the Traveling Library Theater of the songs of the war era and readings of excerpts of letters from vets serving.
The performance is free and starts at 7 p.m.

• Next door in Red Bank it's Comedy Night at the Dublin House on Monmouth Street starting at 8 p.m.

• We'll feature a Throwback Thursday item later in the day.
