1. The Jewish Community Free Clinic will be having its Daytime Family Clinic at 9:30 a.m. Monday.

Make sure to bring your immunization card! This is a great ay to get those immunizations for the upcoming school year.

2. has become a quick hit in town. Maybe you should come out and see what all the hubbub is about. It starts at 10 a.m. and runs until 3 p.m. I'ts a nice way to break up the week with a delicious lunch outside while mingling with other RoPoians. Bring an umbrella as the forecast calls for a chance of rain. 

3. (The Bat’s Revenge) takes flight this week at Sonoma State starting Thursday, Feb. 17. The Departments of Music & Theatre Arts and Dance present this edgy caper in the Evert B. Person Theatre.

On Thursday, Feb. 17 a tour at Evergreen Elementary starts at 9 a.m; John Reed Elementary will host a tour the next day, on Friday, Feb. 18 starting at 9 a.m. Tours are a great way for parents with first time students or transfers to meet the principal and check out the school (without kids please).

5. Don’t forget that it is Presidents Day Weekend in Rohnert Park this week, which means the city offices will be closed Friday, Feb. 18 and Monday, Feb. 21.
