Lowell: Class of 1969 Heads Back to the Clubhouse — 56th Reunion to Serve Up BBQ, Memories and a Few Mulligans
If you’re into fairways, friendships and a little friendly competition over who can tell the best old-school high school story, mark your calendar. The Lowell High School Class of 1969 is teeing off a late-summer celebration that promises relaxed vibes, hearty food and fundraising for future golfers of a different kind — scholarship recipients.
Reunion Details — Where to Stand on the Tee
The party is set for Saturday, September 13, from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Mt. Pleasant Golf Club, located at 141 Staples St. Tickets are priced at $50, and that entry covers a full summer barbecue buffet — think burgers, sausages, lemon chicken, grilled vegetables, salads and desserts. Dress code is relaxed: summer casual is suggested, so leave the spikeless shoes in the closet unless you’re planning to stroll the grounds.
Reservations and donations should arrive by September 6 at the following address: 48 Rindo Park Drive, Lowell, MA 01851 (attn: Bill Nickles). For more details, contact the reunion organizers by phone: Steve Hartigan at 978-995-3637, Dave Casey at 978-866-9495, or Bill Nickles at 978-454-9808.
Community Happenings — Retail Incubator, Market and More
Lowell’s local scene has more than one event on the green. In partnership with the city and UpNext, an innovative retail incubator has opened at Dutton and Market streets. This pop-up venue showcases small businesses and will be available to the public through December. Operating hours are Friday 1–5 p.m., Saturday 11 a.m.–6 p.m., and Sunday noon–5 p.m. Think of it as a short game practice area for entrepreneurs — quick, strategic, and full of surprises.
For those craving farm-fresh produce and street food as good as a perfect chip shot, the Tewksbury Community Market runs Thursdays through the end of September. It’s happening Thursday, August 21, from 4 to 7 p.m. in the parking lot behind the Recreation Center at 288 Livingston St., and will feature 29 vendors this week. Expect vegetables, fresh-baked desserts, cold-pressed juice, seafood, BBQ, ice cream, handmade crafts and seven food trucks serving everything from eggrolls to empanadas. Most vendors accept both cash and credit.
Jobs Fair — A Virtual Tee Time for Transitioning Service Members
On Tuesday, August 26, from noon to 4 p.m., the Disabled American Veterans and RecruitMilitary are co-hosting a virtual career fair tailored to transitioning service members and their spouses. This no-cost event gives participants access to over 65 employers across many industries, with job levels from entry-level to senior management. Additional services include career counseling, resume help, networking opportunities and VA benefits support — a full bag of resources for a career approach that aims for the green.
Book Club — A “Romantasy” Afternoon Off the Back Nine
For readers who prefer stories with magic, romance and a twist, Wickham & Willoughby will host a “romantasy” book club on Sunday, September 14, at 5 p.m. The discussion will cover One Dark Window and Two Twisted Crowns by Rachel Gillig. Participants get a 15% discount on purchases; food and beverages will be provided. Register at wickandwill.com or call 978-480-8400 to save your spot.
Why Golf Fans Should Care
As a golf-savvy reporter might remind you, community events are like good practice rounds — they sharpen ties, reveal new local talent and set up future partnerships. The Mt. Pleasant clubhouse is a natural gathering place for alumni, while the retail incubator and markets keep the local economy lively, offering small-business owners a chance to play their best shots. The career fair is a strategic tee shot for veterans seeking new fairways in civilian life. And the book club? That’s the clubhouse chat after a long day, turning pages instead of keeping score.
