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 betv~een 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 />
