George achieves his career goal

George Jacks, a Friend of Ludlow Rotary Club and past Associate Member, will achieve his career ambition later in November when he takes up the post of full-time firefighter based initially in Bicester.

George was one of the team of local young men who delivered Joel’s Wish by cycling 4000 miles across the United States of America raising money for the eponymous cancer charity. The Joel’s Wish team were sponsored by Ludlow Rotary Club and supported on the trans USA route by local Rotary Clubs to whom they were introduced by Ludlow Rotary Club. If you would like to know more about Joel’s Wish please follow the link.

All our best wishes to George from the members of Ludlow Rotary Club.

A very big thank you for Caribbean Hurricane Appeal

Ludlow Rotary Club is amazed and very grateful for everyones generosity during our street collections and church appeals for Shelter Boxes for the victims of Hurricane Irma in the Eatern Caribbean. A cheque for an initial £3,500.00 has been sent and once all the donations are in a further cheque will be sent.

During the weekend of the Food and Drink Festival, the  Ludlow Rotary Club started its campaign for the victims of Hurricane Irma. Monies raised were used to provide Shelter Boxes, providing the essentials of temporary shelter and life saving equipment including cooking utensils, blankets, tools and water purification kit and many more essential items to start their rebuilding process.

The club ran a Pimms stall and also made collections in the town centre.  Over the first two days over two thousand pound had been raised. The Club also co-ordinated the involvement of the churches via CTAL (Churches Together across Ludlow) which arranged collections over two consecutive weekends.

The major retail outlets also supported the appeal and collections took place at the Ludlow Food Centre, TESCO and ALDI.

Our sincere thanks to all those who gave so generously and those involved in the collections, particularly the members of CTAL. It is another great example of how working together as a community the people of Ludlow can make a real difference.
