Here are the top three stories today in Avon-Avon Lake:

1. The community is being invited to attend a meet the superintendent finalists event on Thursday, March 16, being held at Avon Lake High School. At this time, each candidate will share their background and answer pre-submitted questions.

The goal is to have a new superintendent named by the beginning of June and in place to begin the 2023-2024 school year. (Avon Lake City Schools via Facebook)

If you like what you sample, there will be an opportunity to purchase full bottles. Live music will be performed by Doug McCutcheon, the original keyboard player with The Baskerville Hounds. There will also be many opportunities to support the North Coast Rotary Foundation, such as auction baskets, raffles and a fine art sale. Proceeds from the Sip and Support will benefit youth and community initiatives of the North Coast Rotary Foundation. Tickets are $80 each or $75 each when 2 or more tickets are purchased. Tickets can be purchased at northcoastrotary.org. 50% of the ticket price is tax-deductible." Hope to see you at the event! (North Coast Rotary Club)
