These are just some of the municipal meetings and civic events for the coming week. More are on the City of Somerville website.
U.S. citizenship prep class
U.S. citizenship preparation class, 10 a.m. Saturday. The Somerville Public Library and St. Mark Community Education Program offer a free 10-week U.S. citizenship preparation class starting Saturday. Students will be prepared for a citizenship interview, which includes 100 civic questions, reading and writing sections and interview questions based on their N-400 application. Classes end May 11 (with no class May 4 due to a library book sale). Students must have a basic level of English and five years as a U.S. permanent resident or three years if married to a U.S. citizen. The class will be held in person at the Somerville Public Library, 79 Highland Ave., Central Hill. Registration is required and space for the class is limited.

Participating teams are encouraged to find supporters to donate to CAAS for every hour the team spends on the dance floor. Prizes will be handed out for the best individual and group costumes.
