Five things worth knowing today in Athens, Ga.

 

Thank you, Athens! The 24-hour marrow-a-thon to find a bone marrow donor for 12-year-old Kajal Patel, who suffers from an immunity disorder, has resulted in a match. In fact, the effort has produced more than one. So now, she can start to recover. Kajal and her parents are at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite. We love happy endings, don’t you?

One of Athens’ best restaurants, Five & Ten, is trying to move from its Lumpkin Street location to South Milledge, to the building that used to be Hawthorne House. Tomorrow, the public will be able to comment on the plans at the ACC Planning Commission Meeting at 7pm in the Dougherty Street building.

 Abigail Washburn is playing at The Melting Point on Friday. So, plunk down your $12 today and enjoy this wonderful musician. You messed around and didn’t get tickets to see the Alabama Shakes on Thursday. Don’t miss this one. Doors open at the Melting Point at 6pm, and the show starts at 8:30pm.

 Feeling fat? You’re not alone. There are hundreds of thousands of Americans just like you. And today, Dr.William Dietz, director of the Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity at the CDC, will give an overview of U.S. obesity public policies. Today at 11am at the Ramsey Center.

The Clarke County Board of Education meets tonight in the district office on Mitchell Bridge Road. On the agenda is raising the price of the school lunch, among other things. The meeting starts at 6:30pm.
