The Sarah Lufkin Memorial Scholarship is named in honor of Sarah Lufkin, who passed away from complications of leukemia in April, 1997. Friends of the family set up a scholarship fund to help students who are studying in a field that will have a direct effect on children. Sarah was studying Early Childhood Education at Salem State Community College when she was diagnosed.
The Lufkin Family in conjunction with Periwinkle’s Restaurant is hosting a fabulous fun evening to benefit the fund, Thursday, February 28 at Periwinkle’s Restaurant, 74 Main Street (Route 133), Essex.
The evening will include hors d’ouevres, a silent auction, raffle and live music provided by local musician Joe Militello. Tickets are $25 per person and will be available at the door the night of the event. The event starts at 6:00PM and goes until 10:00PM.
We are always looking for donations of food from restaurants or catering companies and donations of items for the silent auction and raffle. If you would like to donate, please call Sue Lufkin at 978-768-7122, Laurie Lufkin at 978-985-6532 or Kim Lufkin Williams at 978-853-0845.
