Tidbits of information to get you through the day

3. Billboard Number One: Today in 1963, The Chiffons' "He's so fine" topped the Billboard charts. You may also know this group as the voices of "My boyfriend's back" and "One Fine Day."

4. Cooking for kids! USPR will be hosting its first session of "Disney Kid's Cooking Class"   starting tomorrow at 10 a.m. with the following sessions on April 16 and April 30. Pricing: $40/resident; $45/non-resident. Call 215-355-9781 for location information. 

5. Green tip for the homeowner: Although it's April, we know in Bucks County that the current weather doesn't necessarily point to spring. If your heat is still on, be sure to turn down your thermostat at least one degree, which can save up to 10% on your bills.
