United Church Women Award Scholarship 
The United Church Women have awarded a $300 scholarship to Alden J. Livingston, a graduating senior from Black River High School.     
Alden will attend Castleton University and hopes to become a high school history teacher.  While at BRHS, Alden was active in four sports, serving as captain of the varsity soccer, basketball and ski teams.   
Alden’s sister Hannah, now 19, attends Keene State College and his other sister Grace, now, 13, attends school in Ludlow.  
Alden’s mother, Liz Hindinger, used to attend our church with her children before she suffered a severe stroke.  She often is seen walking in Ludlow with her service dog.

Malayaka House Dinner
 Malayaka House is an orphanage in Entebbe, Uganda that was founded by Robert Fleming in 2006.  It provides the most vulnerable orphaned and abandoned Ugandan children with a safe and loving home, education, and vocational training so they may grow into self-reliant citizens whose lives are full of opportunity and promise.
 
On Saturday, June 11th from 5 – 7PM  there will be a fund raising pork dinner to benefit Malayaka House at the United Church of Ludlow.
 
We invite you to come and enjoy the delicious dinner.  Contributions of a gift bag or basket are solicited for the Silent Auction.
 
Sign-up lists for the Silent Auction, volunteers and food contributions are available as one enters the church.  If you are able to assist in any way with the dinner and Silent Auction please contact:  Linda or George Thomson (802-228-6275)  Thomson131VT@gmail.com
