The Rotary Club of Ledyard completed a
successful fund raising campaign to support Hurricane Katrina Relief
at the Ledyard Fair in September 2005.
The Ledyard Rotary Club sold Del’s Lemonade
with all proceeds to benefit the Hurricane Relief efforts. The
profits for the weekend totaled just over $1700 and the member’s
donated club funds to make the final tally $2000 for the weekend.
The Ledyard Rotary Club then made $500 donations to the American Red
Cross and The Salvation Army. The remaining funds are being
distributed to assist displaced families who have arrived in Ledyard
with the purchase of clothing and other essential items.
