Woodbridge Rotary Club Learns About Alzheimer’s and Brain Health

Today, the Woodbridge Rotary Club was honored to welcome Ms. Sidonia Cannon, Manager of the Walk to End Alzheimer’s, with the Alzheimer’s Association National Capital Area Office.

Ms. Cannon delivered an informative and impactful presentation on Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and other brain-related disorders, helping our members better understand the challenges faced by millions of individuals and families affected by these conditions. She also shared valuable information about ongoing research, available support services, and the importance of community involvement in the fight against Alzheimer’s.

Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia impact not only those diagnosed but also their caregivers, loved ones, and entire communities. Education, awareness, and research are critical to advancing treatments and ultimately finding a cure.

The Woodbridge Rotary Club proudly supports the Walk to End Alzheimer’s and encourages everyone in our community to get involved. Whether through participation, volunteering, fundraising, or simply spreading awareness, each of us can play a role in helping advance research and support those affected by this devastating disease.

Together, we can bring hope to families, support groundbreaking research, and move closer to a world without Alzheimer’s.

Thank you, Ms. Cannon, for your dedication to this important cause and for sharing your expertise with our club today.

Woodbridge Virginia Rotary Club Supports G.R.E.A.T. Math Minds!

Last evening, the Woodbridge Rotary Club was a proud sponsor of the Pink Space Theory G.R.E.A.T. Math Minds event at the A.J. Ferlazzo Building in Woodbridge, Virginia — and what an inspiring evening it was!

Local students lit up the room as they showcased creative math projects, demonstrated problem-solving skills, and competed in engaging math challenges. The energy, confidence, and brilliance on display reminded us why investing in our youth is one of the most powerful forms of service.

As part of our partnership with Pink Space Theory, Woodbridge Rotarians hosted a table where we proudly distributed Pink Space Theory book bags filled with Rotary information to children and their families. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with parents, encourage students, and share the mission of Rotary with the broader community.

This event directly aligns with one of Rotary International’s Seven Areas of Focus — Supporting Education. Rotary believes that literacy and education are foundational to opportunity, economic development, and long-term community success. By supporting programs like G.R.E.A.T. Math Minds, we are helping strengthen STEM education, promote academic excellence, and inspire the next generation of leaders right here in Woodbridge.

Our presence was about more than handing out book bags — it was about showing young people that their community believes in them. It was about demonstrating that Rotary is committed to nurturing curious minds, supporting innovative programs, and building partnerships that create lasting impact.

We are grateful to Pink Space Theory for their leadership and for creating a platform where students can shine. Partnerships like this allow Rotary to live out its mission of “Service Above Self” in tangible, meaningful ways.

To our members who attended — thank you for representing the heart of Rotary. And to those who could not make it — there will be many more opportunities as we continue strengthening our commitment to education and youth development in 2026.

Together, we are not just supporting math projects — we are multiplying possibilities.

His discussion was both informative and highly engaging, and many of our members left with a new appreciation for how the mind influences behavior and success.
