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 and video of the day.

Three young athletes from Hopkinton were among the competitors at last month’s Ultimate Ninja Athlete Association World Series Championship in Las Vegas. The group traveled to the Orleans Arena for the three-day competition, with Hopkinton residents Samantha Sweeney and Jackson Cafazzo competing in the 13-and-under division and Hopkinton’s Heather Sweeney taking part in the 11-and-under group along with Holliston’s Olivia Eramo.

Leading off Business Briefs, Hopkinton-based Lykan Bioscience, which is expanding its cell therapy manufacturing facility/laboratory on South Street, announced earlier this month that it has entered into a business agreement with Scotland-based RoslinCT to form a global-leading innovative advanced therapies contract development and manufacturing organization.

This week’s Senior Snippets includes information on an ice cream social with Indian dancing, Our Time Memory Cafe, a workshop on balance and more.

Town meetings tonight include the Housing Authority (6).
