Citrus County Rotarians from four of the six clubs met Monday February 10th to listen to Tiffany Ervin present an update on Rotary’s CART fund program. CART – Coins for Alzheimer’s Research Trust – is a vehicle for collecting and distributing funds for Alzheimer’s research. Last year, the CART fund distributed $1.4 million to five researchers around the country to study various aspects of the disease in an effort to find a cure or treatment. Tiffany is a Rotarian from western North Carolina and is the Executive Director of the CART fund. She made a special trip to Citrus County to thank local Rotarians for their substantial support. District 6950, of which Citrus County is a part, contributed $144,000 to the CART fund last year and is the leading district in Florida.
