Liberty Tree Ceremony: Tonight, Aug. 14 at 6 p.m., the Western RI Historical Society will hold a Liberty Tree dedication ceremony to honor the first symbol of the American Revolution.

Back to School Supplies: If you have kids in one of our town's elementary schools or at ASFMS, chances are you'll need to stock up on school supplies before summer ends. Here at Coventry Patch, I'm compiling lists of required and suggested supplies from Coventry teachers just in case your copy at home goes missing, but I could use your help! If you've received your child's supply list, feel free to email a copy to lauren.costa@patch.com or even send a picture message of the list with your phone to (401) 369.1676 so that I can share it on Patch. Thanks so much in advance!

Plan Ahead - Pink Heals Reception: The Pink Heals National Tour will arrive right here in Coventry on August 27! The RI Chapter is holding a welcome reception at Nino's on Lake Tiogueat 6 p.m., complete with a family-style dinner! Cost is $20 per person and will benefit the Pink Heals organization. For ticket information, click here to visit the event's official Facebook page.
