2. Random Acts of Kindness Just a week after someone left about 600 origami flowers on lockers throughout Coginchaug High School, another Random Act of Kindness was discovered Thursday at the Durham Public Library.

Several envelopes — including one that said "Here's some cash for a cup of tea or some other treat. Enjoy and pass it on!" — were found stuffed in the library's bookshelves.

3. Have You Seen Penny? On Thursday, Patch was alerted to a missing dog named Penny. She was last seen Thursday morning around 10 a.m. at the New Haven Raccoon Club in Durham. Penny is a mutt, mostly black with brown/black brindle on her legs and face.  One of her ears stands up, the other flops down. If you've spotted her please call 860-349-1537 or 860-601-0136.
