Glen Lottie Scholarship
The Glenn Lottie Scholarship is a newly formed annual scholarship of $2,000 going to a student pursuing a career in the skilled trades. The Blue Tigers is the community outreach sector of the Manistee County Democratic Party, which initially formed the scholarship. As a person who has dedicated himself to serving this community, it was decided that this scholarship should be in honor of Glenn Lottie.

He also acquired the new Fidlar digitizing software for the Register of Deeds office. He acquired the new BS&A software for the Treasurer’s office and the Equalization Department. He acquired the BS&A software for the Treasurer’s offices in every township. Glenn was involved in creating a county-wide “recycling” program. He was also involved with the “Green” committee, which instituted energy efficient and green programs. He was involved in the development of the County Master Plan and Recreation Plan.
