LUDLOW, Vt. – The Ludlow Rotary Club recently welcomed guest speaker Nick Miele, director of Ludlow Parks and Recreation, to discuss upcoming community events and initiatives, including this year’s highly anticipated Fourth of July celebration.
In support of the festivities, Ludlow Rotary made a donation toward the town’s annual fireworks display, helping ensure a memorable celebration as the nation prepares to mark its 250th anniversary. Events like these not only bring the community together, but also provide a meaningful boost to local businesses, from restaurants and retail shops, to lodging and service providers.
Miele also highlighted the many programs and activities offered through the Ludlow Community Center (LCC), located at 37 Main Street. Open to all, the LCC features a fitness room with cardio and strength equipment, as well as recreational opportunities including pickleball, pickup basketball, adult volleyball, and indoor soccer.
Miele, a graduate of Colby-Sawyer College with a degree in sports management, has played a key role in organizing community events such as The Great Easter Egg Hunt, Green Up Day, and many more. This year’s Green Up Day will take place on May 2, at 8 a.m., with volunteers receiving supplies and gathering afterward for a community barbecue.
Additional upcoming events include: May 9, Little League opening day; May 16, fishing derby at the Black River Rod and Gun Club; and June 12, the Senior Solutions Age Successfully fair. For more information, visit the Ludlow Parks and Recreation website at www.ludlowvtparksandrec.com.
Through partnerships like this, Ludlow Rotary continues to support programs and events that strengthen the local economy and enhance quality of life for residents and visitors alike. Community members interested in learning more about Rotary are invited to attend a Tuesday luncheon as a guest. Contact a local member for more information.
