Spring Forward One Hour: The arrival of Daylight Savings Time has got to be a sign that spring really is coming after all. Of course, it comes at a cost – we lose an hour.

EG Animal Protection League open house: Every Sunday, the EGAPL opens its doors so people can meet the dogs and cats in need of permanent homes. You can find videos of some of the animals available for adoption here. EG Animal Hospital, 4302 Post Road, Cowesett. 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Conscious Unparenting book signing: As children of the carefree 1970s, Kim Kinzie and Dawn Michael felt unprepared for the endless demands of 21st century parenting. Was it just the two of them who found motherhood so taxing? Dumbfounded, they asked fellow moms to share their feelings about raising children. Their book is a compilation of those unedited narratives told with humor, emotion and raw honesty. It’s also a call to action, as the authors seek to create a new mode of parenting that merges the best of the ’70s with today; one that is less kid-centric, more parent-friendly. With a nod to celebrity elitism, they’re calling this mindset “conscious unparenting.” At Symposium Books, 1000 Division St. 3 p.m.

AfterProm EG @ Zuzu’s Petals: Zuzu’s Petals dress shop on Main Street is holding a private sale to benefit AfterProm EG. Twenty percent of all sales will go to AfterProm EG. All are welcome. From 5 to 9 p.m.

Looking ahead:

Clown Town: The Greenwich Bay Women’s Club will be holding its 50th Annual Clown Town on Saturday, March 14, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at St. Luke’s Church. This event is especially fun for children ages 2 through 12, but is beloved by many who are older. Admission is FREE. Game tickets are 50 cents each and raffle tickets are $1 – and all money raised is used to make a difference in our local communities Volunteers are welcome. Contact Linda Mensinger Nunez at 884-6247 if you are in 6th grade or older and want to help us “clown around” at this year’s event.
