Announcements
- The Spring Break meeting will be held at Big Boiler Brewing on April 4, 2018 at noon.

Lowell Rotary Hard at Work: A General Assembly Summary
Our local Rotary Club members work hard within difference committees to make a difference here in Lowell and around the world. If a month has a fifth Wednesday, a general assembly is held. Rather than having a speaker at these meetings, members will meet in the following committees: Foundation (local Rotary foundation), Membership/PR, Service and Youth. The following are brief updates on the work of each committee:
Foundation
The grants committee reviewed one grant application from the Lowell Middle School. The committee voted to forward the application to the Board for their consideration.
Membership/PR
The group is refining the orientation documents shared with new members and the mentoring process. While the Red Badges have been phased out, the committee wants to ensure new members are given the best possible beginning in Rotary.
Service
The raffle fundraiser planning is already underway. Stay tuned on ways to help out with selling the tickets. The group also discussed possible locations for the next auction since the Grand Volute is no longer open. They also discussed possible fundraising goals.
Youth
There are currently 60-70 kids meeting regularly at the Interact meetings. They have divided into committees to help streamline the meetings and make the numbers more manageable. Five students have been identified as potential Life Leadership participants.
