Portage Rotary Club stepped up on Friday and made a donation to Westend Daycare in Portage la Prairie.

Janice Delf, executive director of Westend Daycare, said the $500 it received from Portage Rotary Club will help Westend Daycare purchase a play slide for its new play yard.

“I’m excited,” she said. “The yard is ready to go, so when it comes to spring we will be ready to go out and play.”

Brad Poole, president of the Portage Rotary Club, said its important to its members to stay active in the community, so making the contribution to Westend Daycare as part of its community giving efforts was meaningful.

“As an organization, in the 61 years that Portage Rotary Club has been in town, obviously there has been a lot of local projects … (and) we want to keep up our commitment,” said Poole.
