Hello and welcome!

This blog is a first for the Lowell Rotary and we are certainly on the move. The Lowell Winterfest was very successful where we toasted marshmallows to raise money for scholarships (over $2400) that's a lot of marshmallows and hot chocolate! Thanks Mike Conway for being the formidable Marshmallow Man!

Look for our amazing Teacher of the Year Recognition Dinner on Tuesday, May 5, 6-9PM at the Doubletree Hotel, Lowell. Over 500 Lowell teachers gather to recognize and award the best of the best. Look for more info on this great event!
