Playtime at Hillsdale Elementary

The Rotary Club of West Shreveport continued to support Hillsdale Elementary School in their quest for modern playground equipment. The club previously secured items for the younger students. On June 3, 2009 acting President Rev. George Schaetzle presented Principal Charlotte Bailey a check for $1,025 - the award from the District Simplified Grant secured by the club. The award will match other funding for expanded equipment. Club member and former District Governor Jane Molloy coordinated the effort.
