Latest edition of the Chitchat


TOWN CEMETERY VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

We are looking for a few volunteers to mow or trim in our town cemeteries. Most are small and no longer active, so nice and quiet. Towns are required to provide some maintenance, so they need to be trimmed about 3 times between June and October. The only town cemetery currently with lots available for sale is the Packer Cemetery. The large Mechanicsville Cemetery in Belmont is a private association.

If interested, please contact me with a message at 802-259-2460 or ddevereux@vermontel.net for a site visit.

Hi Everyone,

Here we are another Chit Chat to put together and my deadline is coming up on Tuesday, April 22nd, by 6:00 pm. Please have all Articles, Announcements, Advertisements and any other items you wish to share with our community to me by then.

I hope you are enjoying this crazy spring weather we have been having. The snow now is called poor man's fertilizer as when it melts off the grass is little greener.

Have A Happy Easter & Happy Passover,

Diana Garrow, Editor

Ludlow Rotary Club's 67th annual Penny Sale returns on Saturday, April 26 in the Ludlow Elementary School's Gymnasium at 6 pm.

This will be the 67th edition of this traditional event that features hundreds of prizes donated by area businesses and individuals plus a raffle. The Penny Sale is free and open to everyone. In addition to the prizes and raffle, refreshments will be available.

Each of 3 "rounds" of the Penny Sale includes over one hundred prizes from various area businesses and individuals. These prizes range in value from $25 restaurant or services gift certificates, to cash, to tools or toys, to ski tickets. Rotary will be giving away over $20,000 in prizes this year, all donated by our local businesses.
Prior to the start of each round, you can buy tickets for a chance to win one or more of those 100-plus prizes. Your tickets are then deposited in a rotating drum where a ticket is randomly selected as the winner of a specific prize or award. For $1.00 participants have 100 chances to win a prize, hence it is one penny for each chance. Tickets are $1.00 per chance or 6 for $5.00. There is even a swap table at the rear of the gym where you can bargain for a different prize with other winners!
The raffle, conducted at the close of the Penny Sale, will offer the following prizes:
1st Prize is $500
2nd Prize is $250
3rd Prize is $150
4th Prize is $100 and
5th Prize is $50
Raffle tickets are $2 for one or 3 tickets for $5. You do not have to be there to win one of these raffle prizes but, if you are in attendance, your award is increased by $25.
Raffle tickets may be purchased from LRC members, accessing the LRC's website at https://portal.clubrunner.ca/2939, or by sending a check to LARCF, PO Box 216, Ludlow, VT 05149.

The proceeds from the Penny Sale help LRC underwrite its annual scholarship program for area graduating high school seniors planning advanced educational programs as well as funding donations to Ludlow area charitable organizations. Through this program, LRC has awarded over $271,000 in scholarship awards during the past 23 years. The annual scholarship awards average $12,000.
