The numbers are in!

Between the Denim and Diamonds Auction proceeds and a generous anonymous donor, we raised $63,994 for FROM, the Lowell Area Historical Museum and international water projects.

The 2026 Denim and Diamonds Auction was a success, raising money for three charitable causes.

Couldn't make it to Rotary today? Then you missed your chance to play "The Preiss is Right!"

We learned about FROM's work while also having a chance to win fabulous prizes (no new car, though, sadly).

See you next week!

Our speaker this week was Evan Ormistan, director of operations for Litehouse Foods. Evan shared what makes the city's largest employer unique -- from its employee owners to the hundreds of products that are made here in Lowell.

Next week (April 29), we will hear from a representative of the Alzheimer's Association. If you are not already a Rotarian and would like to join us, we would love to have you as a guest!
