A Passion for Caring, Tomie dePaola, and Concord Library Fun

1. Much needed rain? Maybe. The National Weather Service says there is a 40 percent chance of showers after 10 a.m. with highs in the mid-70s. Rain is likely into the evening as well, with temps dropping down into the low 50s. About a tenth of an inch of rain could fall.
2. On the radio … Tune into 105 JYY on your FM dial for the Concord Patch Report at 8 a.m. where Nazzy, Mya, and I talk about the latest things going on in the city every Wednesday. There will be no discussion of Jodi Arias or Kim Kardashian just fun things going on in the city.
