Each morning, Westborough Patch presents “5 Things You Need to Know,” a collection of announcements, events, reminders and odd little ditties to help you organize your day. What will you be doing today?

1. Ready for next Tuesday's election? Town Clerk Nancy Yendriga has posted sample ballots here.

2. Did you support the Westborough Lady Rangers Cheerleaders bake sale Sunday? 

3. Or the opening of the Westboro Gallery's newest show?

4. Given the turnout for Friday night's game, would town meeting approve funding for permanent lights at the WHS football field?

5. Any predictions on how much rain Sandy brings to Westborough?
