August was a quiet month…no Bulletin Board posts at all!  Just a couple of things now:

Tomorrow is the last of Lowell’s First Thursdays for this year.  It’s a good time to walk around town enjoying the warm weather, checking out the galleries and restaurants, or taking a trolley ride.  http://www.cultureiscool.org/downtown-lowell-first-thursdays

If you haven’t noticed, the canal worker fountain on the corner of Shattuck has been repaired.  The fellow is once again wielding a pry bar instead of a cudgel.  Yippee!

Saturday is the next-to-last of this summer’s increasingly popular Lowell Walks.  They meet at the Visitor’s Center at 10:00 and last 90 minutes.  This week’s topic is Trains & Trolleys in Lowell.  More at http://www.richardhowe.com/  (People might also want to check out the upcoming cemetery tours listed on the same site.)

For anyone who wants to mark their calendar, the next Board Meeting is at 7:00 on Monday, the 21st.  At some point, I hope to put info about the Board, its schedule, its current members, and some of its workings on the website; I just haven’t gotten to it yet.  But maybe soon—I have a bit more free time now that my Lowell book has finally gone to press (it should be out the 15th: www.twirlingjennies.com).
