ALBION – The Albion Rotary Club on Thursday presented a $5,500 check to the Office for the Aging in Orleans County Aging to support a transportation program for senior citizens.
Rotary Club member Becky Karls, left, presents the ceremonial check to Melissa Blanar, director of the OFA. Karls is an aging service specialist with the OFA. She also serves as the co-director of the golf tournament with Cindy Perry.
This year’s tournament was at Shelridge Country Club in Medina on July 17.
The program at the OFA is for seniors needing transportation to a variety of services, including medical appointments, and trips to the bank, hairdresser or to see a loved one in a nursing home. There aren’t public funds or grants for this program.
For more information about the volunteer program, either as a driver or rider, contact the OFA at (585) 589-3191. Drivers can specify if they only want to do trips within Orleans County.
