The Ledyard Rotary Club is an ambitious group of ‘early risers’ that meets at 7 AM and are on their way by 8 AM.  The club is relatively newer by D7980 standards in that it was chartered in 1987.

The Ledyard Club supports the following community and international charities through their foundation:

•    The Furniture Bank of SE CT
•    Safe Kids of New London County
•    Gales Ferry Volunteer Fire Department
•    Haitian Health Foundation
•    United Way of SE CT
•    Town of Ledyard – Social Services
•    Ledyard Educational Advancement Foundation
•    The ARC of New London County
•    The Martin House
•    The Thames River Family Program

They do numerous fundraisers including their annual Bowl-a-thon to support these important causes.

The club is progressively trying out new things including:

• Revamping their annual ‘changing of the guard’ ceremony to recognize the ‘Citizen of the Year’.
• Setting up a new Facebook page.
• Organizing a ‘potential members’ event for October.

The Ledyard Rotary Club meets on Thursday mornings at Groton Inn & Suites – 99 Goldstar Highway (Route 184) – Groton, CT. A great way to start a Thursday.
