Ludlow Rotary Awards Grant to Mount Holly Elementary School


The Ludlow Rotary Club (LRC) awarded the Mount Holly Elementary School a check in the amount of $3,000.


The School's music program was the beneficiary of a Rotary grant to purchase risers for concerts, plays or other events. Previously, the school had to bring risers from Ludlow Elementary School for concerts.


As shown in the photo, LRC President Elect, Brigid Sullivan, presented the check to Mount Holly Music Teacher Mary Barron, and Principal Craig Hutt Vater.


"This represents the long-term policy of both the LRC and Rotary International to support the educational needs of public schools," commented Sullivan. She added that projects like the risers are complemented by LRC's distribution of books to elementary schools and individual students as well as scholarships to graduating high school seniors planning to attend college.

Hello there, welcome to our weekly farm email. We have been sending out an email every Friday since Plew Farm began in January 2011. Thank you for following along, we love being your farmers.

Another cold start to the day and weekend, and more snow on the ground. It's quite pretty out there!

Our farm stand is heated and stocked and ready for our weekend shoppers. We'd love to have you stop on by and browse.

Freshly baked bread arrives on Saturday. Get here earlier rather than later, as we tend to sell out quickly. Cinnamon Raisin, Country White, or Multigrain. Can't go wrong with any of them.

Our produce selection this weekend includes: Salad greens, potatoes, sweet potatoes, garlic, onions, carrots, and apples. We've got some 2lb bags of mixed root veggies, perfect for your roast dinners.

Looking for gifts? We've got all sorts of pantry items for stockings or gift boxes. Pancake mix and syrup makes a nice gift under the tree. Or how about some honey? Can't decide? No problem, we have gift certificates available in any amount for anyone on your list.

And dinner folks .. what's for dinner this weekend? Beef (steaks, roasts, liver, ground beef), pork (chops, ribs, ham, sausage, and bacon), and chicken (whole in various sizes). Or if you're running low on time, grab a Goodman's frozen take-and-bake pizza. You can thank us later!

Eggs are plentiful and ready for your holiday baking. Buy 2 dozen, get 1 dozen free. Merry Christmas!

Hi Folks,

Here we are with snow and I wonder if we will be able to keep it for Christmas. Hasn't happened very often in many years. I love the nights of the full moon shinning on the snow and how it looks almost like day light and you can see the sparkles of the snowflakes.

Time for another Chit Chat to be put together and my deadline will be Saturday December 20th by 6:00 pm for the January issue. Please have all your articles, advertisements, announcements and any other item you wish to share with our community to me by then. Be sure to send me your items in color especially photos as they look great on the web site in color.

On behalf of the Chit Chat Board Members, we would like to wish all a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Boxing Day with a Healthy New Year.

May God Bless You All,

Diana Garrow, Editor

Hot Chocolate, Hot Cider and Treats


Hey everyone! An idea was presented to us about possibly changing our school mascot from the Bobcat to the Mammoth to honor the town's heritage. At the same time, someone raised a valid concern that many in the community may want to keep the Bobcat because of tradition.

Before we dedicate time to this discussion, we want to check in— what are your thoughts on a potential mascot change? see the attached flyer to submit your thoughts.
