Saturday, April 30 — LUDLOW — After a two-year hiatus due to Covid, the Ludlow Rotary Club has announced the resumption of its annual “Penny Sale” on Saturday, April 30 in the Ludlow Elementary School’s gymnasium at 6 p.m.
This will be the 64th 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.
The raffle, normally conducted at the close of the penny sale, will offer the following prizes: first prize is $500, second prize is $250, third prize is $150, fourth prize is $10 and fifth prize is $50. Raffle tickets are one for $2 or 3 tickets for $5.
Raffle tickets may be purchased from LRC members, accessing the LRC’s website at portal.clubrunner.ca/2939, or by sending a check to LARCF, PO Box 216, Ludlow, VT 05149. 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.
Currently, the LRC members are soliciting area businesses and individuals for donations that may be in the form of merchandise, gift certificates, or cash.
The proceeds from the penny sale help LRC underwrite its annual scholarship program for area graduating high school seniors planning advanced educational programs. Through this program, LRC has awarded over $150,000 in scholarship awards during the past 20 years. The annual scholarship awards last year totaled $9,000.
