Greater Lowell Children’s Fund/Bachand Hall Golf Scramble
June 3, 2019

View from club house at the Merrimack Valley Golf Club
Please join us on June 3, 2019 for the Greater Lowell Children’s Fund/Bachand Hall Golf Scramble.  This event is taking place at Merrimack Valley Golf Club, which is located at 210 Howe Street in Methuen Ma.  Proceeds from this event are raised for the Greater Lowell Children’s Fund and the project at Bachand Hall.  We made the decision to combine the two events with proceeds being split between the two programs.  The Children’s Fund was created to help support children involved with the Department of Children and Families when they are removed from care, need money for extracurricular activities, request special items, wish to accomplish a specific goal such as obtaining their drivers permits, etc.

Bachand Hall is a partnership between the Sisters of Charity of Ottawa and the Department of Children and Families, and is a dorm-like setting for older girls involved with the DCF, and has housed over 160 girls over the past 14 years.
$150 per person fee includes 18 holes of golf, golf carts, gift bag, and dinner.

Greater Lowell PRIDE 2019

Members of the Greater Lowell Health Alliance, LGTBQ+ Subcommittee would like to invite you to celebrate Greater Lowell PRIDE Month 2019!

Happy PRIDE 2019!

WHY IS THIS SO IMPORTANT?
The 2016 Greater Lowell Community Health Needs Assessment revealed that community members who are isolated or without family support are at risk of developing mental health, substance abuse and other issues. There is a lack of sensitivity to this community, as well as a lack of awareness about transgender individuals. It’s easier to deliver more effective health services to individual when you see all of who they are–including how THEY identify their gender.

ABOUT THE GLHA LGBTQ SUBCOMMITTEE
The LGBTQ Subcommittee is a group of professionals and community members committed to addressing these issues, raising awareness and ensuring that ALL the members of the Greater Lowell community have access to culturally competent, inclusive and high quality services and supports. The Subcommittee also aims to build a network of resources and individuals in the community who can provide affinity and support to one another.

This is a collaborative effort between many community partners to plan and coordinate a month of events & celebrations.  If you would like to be involved in the PRIDE Planning Committee, or would like more information about Greater Lowell PRIDE – please contact Amanda Clermont, GLHA Community Engagement Coordinator. 

Special thank you to Middlesex Community College for hosting our festival on June 1st this year!
