The Department on Aging's Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) recently received two <br /> grants to support the Orange County Senior Education Corps initiative. A small grant of <br /> $300 will enable the department to purchase materials and supplies. <br /> The larger of the grants, totaling $10,778, provides funds for school-based reading and math <br /> assistance in elementary schools in the Orange County School district. Teams of seniors <br /> will go into the six elementary schools in the district and provide one-on-one reading and <br /> math tutoring and assistance to students. The program promotes intergenerational <br /> interaction between the senior volunteers and children. <br /> No additional county funds are required as a match for the receipt of the $11,078 grant <br /> funds (see page 5, column 1 of this abstract). <br /> 2. The Department on Aging is partnering with the Senior and Law Enforcement Together <br /> (SALT) association to provide printed medication labels for seniors throughout the county. <br /> These labels, containing personal medical information, will be placed on seniors' prescription <br /> vials., This budget amendment provides for the receipt of a $500 grant from SALT to the <br /> Department on Aging to cover the cost of purchasing and printing the labels. No additional <br /> County funds are required for the receipt of this donation (see column #2, page 5 of this <br /> abstract). <br />
