An ample supply of toothy smiles, bluebird skies and fresh powder greeted Ludlow Rotarians and international exchange students for the annual long-weekend bash, Mar. 7-10. Some three dozen high school students staying with Rotary families in NH, VT, MA and CT converged for an event that continues the good will and international understanding of a quarter-century partnership between Okemo Mtn. Resort and Ludlow Rotary.
