Weekday events of note, 11/14-11/17:

• Movie Monday at the Kennett Flash The Royal Tenenbaums. Free, donations encouraged. Doors at 7pm, show at 7:30.

Tuesday:

• National Recycle Day celebration on the Wilmington riverfront. 10-2pm, Shipyard Shops.  Bring items to be shredded, or used office equipment or furniture to be donated.  Goodwill and Office Movers will take what they can use and recycle or dispose of the rest.
