Memor y Matter s is not aff i l iated w ith the National Alzheimer 's Association but does have an al l iance w ith the Alzheimer 's Association of Amer ica.
The organization's faci l i ty is a house leased for $1 per year from SGHS.

Not only are we hosting one onSaturday, but we w i l l have the breakout sessions you requested at PETS for your off icer s, star ting on Monday June the 29th. The sessions are 50 minutes each, for Membership, Foundation,Grants, DACdb, Rotar y Club Central, Youth, etc. Rotar ians can select whatever sessions they are interested in.
The top Rotar y International Leadership for our 2020-21 year w i l l be our key note speakers on Saturday. (The RI President, Senior RI Dir ector and RI Dir ector Elect)

Mar ia Trabino, who l ives in El Salvadore, was one of our Club's GRSP Students several years ago, and Rayea and I were the host fami ly. We have continued to stay in touch w ith Mar ia and her fami ly. I l ike that this is an ini tiative of a member of the Rotaract Club and so I intend to send a donation. Please see the fol low ing:
My family and I, are doing just fine. Sadly my country is going through some rough times and I wanted to ask for your help. I have a friend in DC that became a Rotoract member and she started a funding to help my country. She asked for my help to contact the Rotary Clubs that I know if they wanted to help. She shared with me the video she made for the funding and the venmo if you wish to help.
