New Ludlow Cider Donut Owner Delights

Ludlow Rotary Explaining Business

Following the regular weekly business meeting of the Ludlow Rotary Club (LRC), David Bennet, New England Cider Donuts owner, delighted LRC Rotarians with an explanation of how decided to start his new food business in Ludlow.

Bennet, who features a long list of hospitality asset management and operations experience throughout the country, recently opened his new donut business in Ludlow. In doing so, he spent a great deal of time preparing both the menu side and the business side of the operation, a task he explained to Rotarians in some detail, and with considerable humor.

Pictured above is Bennet as he examines one of the items he used to explain how he developed his donut menu. Kevin Barnes, LRC Rotarian, to his left, appears to be amused by his explanation. (Even Marilyn Monroe, pictured on the wall at DJs Restaurant, seems to enjoy the explanation-as did all the LRC Rotarians and guests.)

The LRC normally meets every Tuesday for a luncheon meeting. Interested persons are invited to attend future meetings to see what Rotary is all about, its goals, and, equally important, the fun emanating from membership. Simply contact any Rotarian or call 802-558-0479.

Jumping worms? Snake worms? Crazy worms? These invasive worms, which go by many names, have spread surprisingly fast in Vermont in recent years. Find out what they are and why they are a threat to our forests. Find out what they can do to your own garden and landscaping. Come next WEDNESDAY, June 12, to the Shrewsbury Library at 7:00 and find out how to identify them and manage them. Some interesting refreshments provided by the SCC!

Juanita Burch Clay is a retired educator, having ended her career running a farm and forest program for at-risk youth. Her strong interest in invasive worms grew from discovering them in her own garden, brought in with a load of composted cow manure a few years ago. The information she will provide is based on research from UVM's Dr. Josef Gorres and other experts who are working to understand and control this environmental threat.

VETERANS MONUMENT DONATIONS

The Veterans Monument, located near the lower level door of the library in Belmont Village, is in need of repair. After more than six decades of exposure to the elements the top row of stones have become loose. The restoration work will include adding a one-piece stone along the top at an angle to allow moisture to run off.

The town is accepting donations toward the more than $1500 project. Please make your checks payable to The Town of Mount Holly and mention Veterans Monument in the memo line. Call Dennis at 802-259-2460 with any questions.
