Special District Grant

The Rotary Club of Marietta and the Rotary Club of North Cobb have teamed up, and partnered with "Aloha to Aging, Inc." to provide educational and program resources to our area of 13 counties!

District 6900 offered a Special District Grant to address mental health needs of our aging population. "Aloha to Aging,, Inc." established in 2009, provides music and art therapy, day respite, caregiver support, and educational programming for those facing dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and general aging issues. The District Grant money is being used to purchase supplies and equipment so that "Aloha to Aging, Inc." can continue this important work.

"A Day in the Life" simulation is a 1 ½ hour immersive program that offers participants a glimpse into the world of the aging, and practical responses to improve the life of the loved one. Ten sessions are scheduled to offer this especially to Rotarians, but this programming is ongoing to the broad community. Pictured are two sessions done this week for Marietta and North Cobb members.
