2. Health Clinic. The weekly health clinic at Parmenter Community Health Care will take place as usual today. Stop by between 8 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. for free blood pressure and blood glucose screenings.

3. Weston Media Schedule. Don't forget that the Weston Media Schedule through Dec. 30 is posted on Weston Patch. Check out the schedule and find something to watch other than the marathons of random shows that cable channels are so fond of this time of year.

5. New Year's Eve Deadline. Because a reminder can never hurt, you have until New Year's Eve to make charitable donations that you plan to claim on your 2012 tax return.
