2) ZBA meets: The at City Hall at 7 p.m.

3) Event spotlight: The at the school building.

4) In case you missed it: We here at Woburn Patch love history. That’s one of the reasons why we always post a historical fact in our Five Things column. Well, we’ve been using the resources of the Boston Public Library to look into Woburn’s history.

5) Go ahead, invade us: On this day in 1776, Governor Francis Legge of Nova Scotia reported that some residents had written a letter to General George Washington asking him to “invade Nova Scotia at his earliest possible convenience,” according to History.com. But two days later, the Continental Congress voted that Washington should investigate going to Nova Scotia, but not the destruction of Halifax.
