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.

What an incredible few weeks it has been at the Rotary Club of Woodbridge! Our club continues to bring together outstanding leaders, innovators, educators, and community champions who are making a real difference across Prince William County and beyond.

During the end of April and the beginning of May, we were honored to welcome an amazing lineup of guest speakers and organizations:

🔹 Award-winning television host and producer Ingrid Parris-Hicklin, President of Ingrid’s World, LLC, inspired our members with her remarkable journey in media, public service, and community engagement. As Executive Producer and Host of Ingrid’s World Television Show, Ingrid highlighted the importance of storytelling, leadership, and uplifting positive voices throughout our region.

🔹 George Hinckley from Smart Community STEM Camp Inc. shared the organization’s mission of empowering young minds through STEM education, innovation, and hands-on learning experiences that prepare students for the future.

🔹 We also welcomed Dr. Stan Jones from ACTS this past Thursday. Dr. Jones provided an informative and inspiring presentation on the critical services ACTS provides throughout Prince William County, including support for families in crisis, domestic violence prevention, food assistance, and community outreach programs that strengthen lives every day.

🔹 In addition, Ms. Dawn Marie Lewis, Executive Director of TerraClear Foundation USA, joined us to discuss the TerraClear clean water initiative in Laos. She shared the organization’s impactful work providing access to safe and sustainable water systems for underserved communities, helping improve public health, sanitation, and quality of life for families in rural villages. Her presentation highlighted how international partnerships and humanitarian service can transform lives around the world.

These outstanding presentations reflect what Rotary is all about — bringing together leaders, organizations, and community partners to inspire service above self and create lasting impact.

In addition to our incredible speakers, our club proudly continued serving the community through projects like “Books for Bright Futures,” where we donated hundreds of books to students at Featherstone Elementary School through Rotary District 7610’s Books for Title One Schools initiative.

Thank you to all of our speakers, members, and community partners for making this such an exciting and impactful season for our club. The future is bright at the Woodbridge Rotary Club!
