Announcement for
Lowell High School Seniors
|
|
$2,000 grants being awarded to 20 seniors!
Our 2021-2022 Lloyd F. Hutt Scholarship program has kicked off! Each year, we establish a topic for high school seniors to write about in the form of an essay and award 20 seniors a $2,000 scholarship. We are proud to have provided over $460,000 in scholarships to 272 deserving students over the last 32 years.
This year’s topic is:
“There’s something special about each and every one of us. Tell us about the YOU of today, and what we can expect to see in the YOU of tomorrow.”
The 2021-2022 scholarship period officially opened November 1, 2021, and will remain open until January 31, 2022. The award is intended to provide financial assistance to the recipient in their pursuit of an undergraduate degree at an accredited trade school, college or university. The money is to be used for the student’s tuition, fees, books, supplies and equipment.
This year, we added a digital School Resources tab for you to access posters, a resource guide, and a social media guide. To view the resource tab and to learn how students can apply visit LMCU.org/Hutt.

November

Since releasing her first self-produced single in 2017, Sierra has shifted her role into the emblem "i.am.james." creating a persona that allows for escapism, but also allows life to leak into her songs. Learn more about Sierra Cassidy with an in-depth article and recorded interview.

Are You Thinking
About Your Holiday Shopping?
|
|
It's not too early! We’re less than two months until Christmas (eek!), and it’s never too early to start shopping for loved ones.
Don’t you just love going to local stores and seeing all the unique items they have? It’s so much fun to give those unique gifts, because people always want to know where you got that special piece. Whether it’s jewelry, art, home décor, clothing, or any other creative piece, gift recipients feel extra special when you find something that fits their style perfectly.
But sometimes, you just don’t know their exact style, or you don’t know what they need. When that happens, Lowell Buck$ are the perfect gift! You needn’t worry about color, size, or contributing to clutter when you select this local currency. It’s always just right.
Order the certificates in denominations of $5 to $25 online here or at our office at 113 Riverwalk Plaza in Lowell. Lowell Buck$ are always the ideal gift.
If you’re like us, you’ll want to pick up a few extras for those times where you are called upon to give a gift when you weren’t expecting it. They also make ideal hostess gifts, which we know you need a lot of during the holidays. Pick up some Lowell Buck$ today and get some (or all!) of your shopping done early.

Here’s a huge treat for us folks! His family has been coming to their place on Murray Lake for a 100 years! The photos they took and the writings they did are massive enough to open the lake’s very own museum!! The music for this interview is by Mr. Roger MacNaughton. It’s a beautiful segment, and we are lucky to have captured this one! ❤️ Brought to you by The Red Arrow Network and your very own Lowell Museum Oral History Project!! This one made me listen to it again and again, thinking we have to visit Mr. Stephens again for more stories on Murray Lake! It’s a beautiful day in Lowell. ❤️❤️ |

A Little Showboat Memorabilia Found |
This piece of Showboat history was found in some old Ionia Sentinel Standard newspapers. It's a little bit of fun Showboat trivia to bring back memories for many within our community. Lowell had so many wonderful years of providing local and national entertainment. Now, our community has created a Showboat rental venue to help make new and special memories for families and friends within our greater Lowell area. |
