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 latest Independent Thoughts leads off with two Hopkinton girls who earned the Girl Scouts’ highest honor and includes items on local teens who are appearing in a Worcester play, and details about the K-9 who helped locate the Hopkinton man who drowned earlier this month.

The most recent Senior Snippets includes information on programs including Caregiver Support Group, Thrift Shop Red Tag Sale and Portrait of Dementia Exhibit.

This week’s Real Estate Transactions list shows seven sales, including four of well over $1 million.
