Tournaments, Therapy and Trivia

Here at Chatham Patch, we try to provide you with a little bit of essential information to help you face the day ahead. For other information worth knowing, see the Chatham Patch events calendar and announcements section — and if you've got something the community should know, don't forget to make a post of your own in one or both of those sections.

1. You need to know about high school sports: The boys swim team takes on Summit today at 3:30 p.m. at the Summit YMCA in the NJSIAA Tournament.
2. You need to know about the school budget: And what better way to find out than by attending the 0pen Budget Advisory Committee meeting tonight at 7 p.m. at the?
3. You need to know about therapy: will begin tonight at the Chatham Playhouse at 7 p.m.
4. You need to know about recycling: Township residents can take their recycling over to Tanglewood between 8:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.
5. You need to know about women's suffrage: On Feb. 15, 1820, Susan B. Anthony was born. A celebrated advocate of women's suffrage, she was arrested for illegally voting in the 1872 Presidential election. She was fined $100, but never paid. Her face now appears on the silver dollar.

And for a bonus piece of trivia, not only is Anthony one of three women portrayed on American coins (the other two are Sacagawea on the gold dollar piece and Helen Keller on the reverse of Alabama quarters minted in 2003), she is also one of only three people portrayed on American coins facing to the right. The other two are Abaham Lincoln on the penny and Helen Keller on the afore-mentioned Alabama quarter.
