LUDLOW, Vt. – The Ludlow Rotary Club (LRC) has announced that it will be collecting the special glasses used to observe the recent solar eclipse.
According to Kim Lampert, LRC treasurer, these glasses will be provided to children in South America and elsewhere, as a valuable tool for students, and people in general, to use during the October 2024 annular eclipse, which will occur in Latin America.
The glasses may be dropped off at three convenient locations in Ludlow, which are Benson’s Chevrolet Inc., 25 Pond Street; M&T Bank, 213 Main Street; and Fletcher Memorial Library, 88 Main Street.
People unable to drop them off at these locations may also use the LRC’s Penny Sale on Saturday, April 27, starting at 6 p.m., at the Black River High School Gymnasium.
Members of the LRC will collect glasses through April 30. For additional information, contact Kim at 802-228-4000.
