This Week in Coventry History: This week last year, the Coventry School Committee appointed two new Assistant Superintendents for the school district, Michael Almeida and Lee Rabbitt. Since that meeting, Ms. Rabbitt has left the district and Mr. Almeida was appointed to the position of school superintendent.

Pasta Dinner Fundraiser THIS SATURDAY: Tickets are still available for the fundraising event, "Raising the Roof On Humanity", a pasta dinner organized by the wives and significant others of the Central Coventry firefighters, with the hopes of raising enough money to repair the leaking roof of the late CCFD Battalion Chief Bill Hall's house. The dinner will be held from 4-8 p.m. at the West Warwick Elks Club (60 Clyde St., West Warwick) and will cost $10 for adults and $5 for children. Tickets can be reserved by emailing events@ccdfaux.org. For more information, visit www.ccfdaux.org.
