2. At last night's Selectmen Meeting, Town Manager Wayne Marquis announced there is an open position on the Zoning Board of Appeals. Anyone interested in applying for the volunteer position should write a letter to Wayne Marquis at Town Hall.

3. Today's 5 Things Photos: Resident Kelle Wood sent us some photos with this caption: "Danvers Mite 1 Hockey Team is going to play in the Championship game this coming Saturday. They are such a great group of boys and we are all so proud of them.  For some of them, including my son, Kevin, it will be their last year as a Mite; about half the team is moving up to Squirts. It has been a great year and we are finishing on a great note!"

4. Danvers Selectman hopeful Rick Bettencourt is a brand new blogger on Danvers Patch! Check out his first post here. If you're interested in blogging, start here.
