Rotary Club of Alexandra’s president David Dimech had great pleasure in presenting a cheque to Rotary District 9790 District Governor Bernie Bott with a cheque for $500 at last Wednesday’s nights Rotary meeting. The money is to go to Rotary District 9790 2017-2018 partners program to fund research 50% into Alzheimer’s disease and 50% into dementia. District Governor Bernie explained that these insidious conditions although usually associated with old age can set in at any time. It is because of his personal experience of the pain and suffering these conditions can cause that he and his partner chose this fund raising project. Current research has made serious inroads to the early detection and therefore more effective management/treatment, it would be good to say cure but regrettably this seems a long way off. President David endorsed Bernie’s remarks and expressed the wish that all District 9790 Rotary Clubs also get behind his partners project to ensure that there will be significant funds to hand over to these research projects in 2018.Alexandra supports research into Alzheimer’s disease and Dementia
