| | | | | Ludlow Rotary Readies for 100th Anniversary
Back on January 27, 1927, the Ludlow Rotary Club (LRC) was chartered by Rotary International. It had 25 chartered members. Since that time the LRC has grown and become a major contributor to the Okemo Valley area, the nation and international groups.
As it prepares for its 100th anniversary, it is gathering information on the club's history, membership, and many activities.
Sharon Bixby and Jim Rumrill, co-chairs of the anniversary committee, indicated that, while it has a large volume of information for its summary report of the club's history, it needs the help of people in its service area, Ludlow, Mt Holly, Cavendish, and Plymouth, to gather more information and photos that area residents may have of the LRC's activities, members, and contributions to the area.
"If local folks possess any photos or information about the club, we'd love to receive it", noted Rumrill. He added that all such contributions would be recognized by the club. To send such information to the LRC, there are several ways to use:
By email – ralphcpace@gmail.com By regular mail - :Ludlow Rotary Club PO Box 216 Ludlow, VT 05149 In Person Delivery – Sharon Bixby Ludlow Insurance 150 Main Street Ludlow, VT 05149
"This a monumental time for the club", said Bixby, "and we'd like to have our neighbors part of it." | | | | | | | |
THE ENSLAVED REVOLUTIONARY WAR SOLDIER Estimates are that between 5,000-8,000 African Americans fought against the British, including Peter Tumbo and Prince Robinson, who settled in Cavendish following the war. However, far more (estimates of 20,000) were Loyalists. These numbers do not reflect the number of enslaved women and children who fled to British encampments in the hopes of freedom, nor those who used the chaotic time to escape to maroon communities, such as the Great Dismal Swamp on the border of Virginia and North Carolina.
On February 28 (Saturday), at 1 pm, the Cavendish Historical Society (CHS) , in conjunction with the Cavendish Fletcher Community Library, 573 Main St., will hold a talk about the role of the enslaved peoples during the Revolutionary War period. This will include showing portions of Ken Burns' American Revolution series as well as discussing Cavendish's patriots- Tumbo and Robinson.
The talk will be held at the Cavendish Library in Proctorsville. This event is free and open to the public. It's recommended for those 12 and up. In the event of inclement weather, a notice will be posted to the Cavendish VT Facebook page [www.facebook.com/cavendishvt]. For more information call 802-226-7807 or e-mail margocaulfield@icloud.com
