Stevenson. Before joining
the Southfield staff in
August 1974, she taught the
physically handicapped in
the Detroit Public Schools.
Bill Williams, president
of the Southfield Education
Association, originated the
idea of a scholarship fund.
The idea sprang from two
activities that the associa-
tion has been doing for
years: providing money to
send a child in special edu-
cation to summer camp, and
contributing money to a
charity in a teacher's name
or sending flowers when a
teacher dies.
Williams discussed the
idea with Marcus Plotkin,
husband of Mrs. Plotkin,
and they proposed the idea
to the district.
An invitation to join the
initiation of the Lillian
Plotkin Memorial Schol-
arship Fund is extended to
all relatives, friends and
associates of the late Mrs.
Plotkin on April 8 at 2 p.m.
at the Southfield-Lathrup
High School auditorium.
The purpose of the fund
is to provide for scholarship
or tuition funds for special
education programs for stu-
dents enrolled in a special
education program.
For information, write
The Lillian Plotkin Memo-
rial Scholarship Fund,
Southfield Public Schools,
24661 Lahser, Southfield,
48034.
All funds will be main-
tained by the district's
business office. A three-
member scholarship com-
mittee will be established.
The committee will be corn-
prised of representatives
from the Plotkin family and
the Southfield Education
Association and an appoin-
tee of the Southfield school
board.
Besides her husband,
Marcus, Mrs. Plotkin is
survived by three children,
Norman, Carrie and San-
ford.
