RC Whitesburg improves Housing Authority park with basketball goals

The Rotary Club of Whitesburg purchased new basketball goals for the Housing Authority's basketball court as one of the Service Projects for this year. Rotary Club members passed out fliers on Sunday prior to the event to all of the children living at the Housing Authority inviting them to the Dedication Day on Wednesday afternoon August 10th. Twenty-four (24) new basketballs, purchased by the Rotary members, were given away, along with free Rotary balloons. Refreshments of pizza, cupcakes, cookies and drinks were furnished, compliments of Whitaker Bank, Inc. of Whitesburg, and served by Rotary members. Reporters/Photographers from both local newspapers were present.
