Donations used to fund iPads for mobile technology lab
– The Rotary Club of Paso Robles has given a grant of over $1,300 to the Paso Robles Senior Center. With this donation, the senior center has been able to purchase five iPads, creating a mobile technology lab. These iPads will also be used for the training and education of our older adults.
The educational component will focus on the uses of technology that enhances or will enhance the lives of seniors. Internet access, communication platforms, and various computer functions will be explored.
This year, the Rotary Club of Paso Robles marks its 100th anniversary and continues to support the non-profits in the community through grants, donations, and projects like this one.
Through the support of its members and two fundraisers, the Rotary Club can reach out to over 25 non-profits in the area, such as ECHO, Youth Arts, NCI Affiliates, Assistance League, Coats for Kids, Boys and Girls Club, and many others.
This is the first year, the Kiwanis have decided to fund a grant dedicated to older adults.
