Ludlow Area Rotary Club Seeking

2025 Scholarship Applicants

In keeping with its annual goal of rewarding qualified high school seniors, The Ludlow Area Rotary Club (LRC) is encouraging eligible seniors to apply for scholarships to help meet their goals for higher education following graduation from high school this year.

The LRC has awarded over $290,000 in scholarships in the past to students seeking financial assistance for college and advanced trade programs.

Graduating seniors who reside in the LRC area towns of Ludlow, Cavendish, Plymouth, and Mt Holly who plan on pursuing higher education are invited to apply for these scholarships. Such applications may be obtained through the Guidance Office of the student's high school. They need to be submitted by May 1, 2025 to Timothy Faulkner, Chair of the Ludlow Rotary Scholarship Committee, PO Box 216, Ludlow, VT 05149.

Recipients are selected on the basis of the following criteria: scholastic achievement, financial need, realistic goals, extracurricular activities, and community service.

The scholarships available are:

· Daniel E. Kesman Memorial Scholarship

· Robert W. Kirkbride Rotary Scholarship

· Ralph D. Hogancamp Vocational Scholarship

· Joseph Girouard Scholarship

Daniel Kesman and Ralph Hogancamp were legendary members of the Ludlow Rotary, which is celebrating its 99th year of service to the community in 2025. Robert Kirkbride was an active member of the Ludlow Rotary for more than 60 years – an amazing record. Jay Girouard helped make the annual Rotary Penny Sale a success.

Applications for these awards are available through the school Guidance Officer and should be submitted to the LRC by May 1, 2025. Awards will be presented at the school's annual award night program.


The Mount Holly Conservation Commission's next meeting is Wednesday March 5, 2025. The agenda can be found here.

Maple Monday!

A brisk start to our week here at the farm with temperatures at 6 below zero! But the sun is out and warm weather is on it's way.

Potatoes are the heart of any meal. Mashed, baked, fried, roasted or in a casserole. We love potatoes! Our recipe today is Maple Glazed New Potatoes. This dish will pair nicely with any meal. I'm thinking it will be delicious along side ham or pork chops! Give it a whirl!

March is upon us and soon (perhaps this week) we'll be in the sugar house boiling sap into our delicious wood-fired maple syrup! Mark your calendars folks, as our Maple Open House weekend will take place on March 22nd & 23rd! We'll have complete details in next weeks email.

Have you visited website recently? Did you know you can shop, view recipes, check out our farm stand info, learn about our CSA program , and check the local weather? Shop today and we'll ship! Bring a taste of Vermont maple into your homes.
