Here are some programs coming up at the Saugus Public Library in March that might be worth checking out. Please join the library for any or all of these programs. They’re all free on Zoom, but registration is required for each program. See the library’s website for registration links or follow the links below: Tuesday, March 29, at 7 p.m.: author Neal Thompson will discuss his new book, “The First Kennedys: The Humble Roots of an American Dynasty.” The fi rst American Kennedys – Patrick and Bridget – arrived as many thousands of others did following the Great Famine in Ireland: penniless and hungry. Patrick’s sudden death left Bridget to raise their children singlehandedly. Her rise from housemaid to shop owner in the face of rampant poverty and discrimination kept her family intact, allowing her only son, P.J., to become a successful saloon owner and businessman. P.J. went on to become the fi rst American Kennedy elected to public offi ce – the fi rst of many. Neal Thompson is a former newspaper reporter and the author of fi ve highly acclaimed books.

A scholarship available to Saugus High seniors Greater Lynn Senior Services (GLSS) has announced it is accepting scholarship applications from Saugus High School (SHS) seniors through the Lique Human Services Scholarship. Two $5,000 scholarships will be awarded to students who have an interest in or are considering a career in human services and who have made an impact in their community or the world through community service. Completed scholarship applications are due to the SHS Guidance Offi ce by Friday, April 1, 2022. The Lique Human Services Scholarship will be awarded to two seniors who attend one of the eight high schools located in GLSS’ service area of Lynn, Lynnfi eld, Nahant, Saugus and Swampscott. The scholarship is named in memory of Vince Lique, the Agency’s longtime Executive Director, who devoted his career to helping others, particularly vulnerable senior citizens and people of all ages with disabilities, demanding that all people be treated with dignity and respect. “Vince’s legacy is fi rmly rooted in his compassion for people. He measured success by the quality of his service to and advocacy for others,” said Kathryn C. Burns, MHA, GLSS’ Chief Executive Offi cer. “I believe in Vince’s theory that one’s individual success is directly related to the benefi ts received by those around us. The Lique Human Services scholarship honors the man and his service by encouraging others to do the same.” Application forms are available through the Saugus High School Guidance Offi ce or on GLSS’ website.
