Community Service for Dementia:  Following our Heart
This past Saturday, Bob and I had second row seats for a wonderful concert by the Four Bridges String Quartet at Brunswick Village Assisted Living.  This concert was offered as a community service by Music on Wheels from InConcert Sierra. The audience - of mostly residents with some degree of dementia - was very appreciative. Few of them would would be able to attend such a concert at the 7th Day Adventist Church where InConcert Sierra performs, or at a public theatre. 

In Rotary, we have many, many choices of community service individually, with our club, at the District 5190 level, and worldwide. For example, as individuals we can support and become members of the Alzheimer’s / Dementia Rotary Action Group. We could provide ourselves and others with the latest scientific information about these diseases. The $25 annual membership contribution helps support projects on dementia and Alzheimers. Our club could also join other clubs in a related project whether locally or in another part of the world. Click the banner to see the RAG webpage for details.

Given our spontaneous discussion on this topic at the June 1 social meeting, it might be an appropriate community service to organize in Nevada City Rotary. If this speaks to your heart, we recommend you join the RAG and use what you learn to help others.
