SUMMARY:Paws for Celebration: The Great Catsby
DESCRIPTION:The Lowell Humane Society will turn its daily work into a Roaring Twenties-themed celebration at the Lowell Masonic Center on May 15\, where supporters will gather for the organization’s annual fundraising gala.  \nModeled after the 1925 novel The Great Gatsby\, the Paws for Celebration: The Great Catsby event will feature vintage style\, live music\, and an energetic social atmosphere. \nGuests are encouraged to dress the part while supporting the organization’s mission.   \nBeyond the glitz and glamour\, the gala serves as a key fundraiser for the nonprofit.  \nThe organization has offered services including animal rescues\, foster programs\, low-cost veterinary care\, and trap-neuter-return (TNR) efforts.

Later\, the Beantown Swing Orchestra will keep the entertainment going. Refreshments will also be provided.  \nA silent auction will be available online leading up to the event\, and higher-end items will be presented in a live auction during the gala itself. \nAttendees can bid on prizes ranging from Patriots tickets to travel experiences\, including trips to destinations like New York City\, New Orleans\, Lake Tahoe\, and even Tuscany.  \nThe event also creates a shared space for attendees\, whether volunteers\, community members\, or animal lovers to celebrate their love of animals.   \nTickets for the gala are available at multiple levels\, including general admission for $75\, VIP tickets for $125\, and group VIP packages starting at $1000.

SUMMARY:The Truth About Baked Beans: An Edible History of New England
DESCRIPTION:Meg Muckenhoupt will bring smiles—and a hunger for popular foods—during her discussion about the history of New England’s food\, immigration\, tourism\, and how ideas about identity have shaped our menus from 1825 to today. \nAuthor of “The Truth about Baked Beans: An Edible History of New England\,” Muckenhoupt’s book began with a simple question: When did Bostonians start putting molasses in their baked beans? That question sent her on a lengthy journey through invented histories\, selective memories\, and changing tastes from colonial New England to the present day. \nHer presentation will cap the Society’s Annual Meeting\, including elections of Directors and reports from Society officers. \nDoors open at 2 PM for a social period and refreshments\n2:15 PM – Announcements and Annual Meeting\, followed by the Guest Speaker
