The proceeds from the Penny Sale help the club underwrite its annual scholarship program for area graduating high school seniors planning advanced educational programs.  Through this program, the club has awarded over $150,000 in scholarship awards during the past 20 years.  The annual scholarship awards last year totaled $9,000. The Penny Sale is free and open to everyone.  In addition to the prizes and raffle, refreshments will be available.  For information or questions call Kim Lampert at 228-4000 or Jim Rumrill at 228-8866 or email:  ludlowrotary@gmail.com.
