JAMESTOWN, R.I. -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will headline a high-dollar fundraiser on Jamestown Saturday evening under the sponsorship of U.S. Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy.

A range of donations is suggested in Kennedy's invitation to the affair: $1,000 to be a guest; $10,000 per couple to co-host; $30,400 per couple to be in the ``Speaker's Cabinet.'' The event will be held at the home of Princeton Review president and chief executive officer Michael Perik, and his wife, Elizabeth.

Earlier Saturday, Pelosi, Kennedy and U.S. Rep. James Langevin, will meet with business and civic leaders on Aquidneck Island to discuss how Congress is working to promote the development of new economic opportunities and job creation through investments in infrastructure, new energy initiatives, and education.

Pelosi and the congressmen will tour the newly constructed Child & Family center in Middletown and meet with members of the Newport County Chamber of Commerce at a reception at the Atlantic Beach Club in Middletown.

Pelosi was slated to be in the Ocean State Friday to attend the funeral of Mary (Dodd) Buonanno of Providence and Narragansett, a civic leader and the late sister of U.S. Sen. Christopher Dodd of Connecticut.
