Good morning, Hopkinton! Welcome to the daily update we call Hopkinton Today — a quick recap of yesterday’s news, highlights of what’s on tap, and a photo of the day.

The Select Board at its meeting Tuesday voted to approve the hiring of Kyla LaPierre as the town’s new chief financial officer and OK’d a car parade to celebrate the town’s graduating high school seniors.

Tim Kilduff, the president and founder of the 26.2 Foundation, is determined to ensure that the spotlight shines on Hopkinton as the town celebrates the centennial of being the starting point for one of the world’s premiere marathons by incorporating several art and historic events into the pre-marathon festivities.

This week’s Police Log includes reports of a motorist striking a deer, stolen items from vehicles on Thayer Heights Road, and a woman getting bitten by a dog at the State Park.

Baypath Humane Society’s 12th annual Fur Ball Gala will be held Friday, April 5, from 6:30-11 p.m. at the Verve Hotel in Natick. This year’s event has a theme of black and white, which also is the dress code.

Town meetings tonight include the Hopkinton Marathon Committee (6:30).
