ROMAC currently has seven children being treated and a further eight scheduled to arrive in the first few months of 2011. In addition they have 59 pending, subject to a variety of confirmations and clarifications, and really need the money to continue giving life saving treatment to these underprivileged children. If your club donates $1,000, up to two of your members could be go going on a five-night luxury holiday at a Peppers Resort! Each $1,000 donation is entered into not one but two lucky draws! If you can afford to donate more, each $1,000 will separately be entered into the draw thus increasing your chance of winning. To be eligible to be in both the February and August draws your donation must be received by 5 February 2011. Presumably that means you should authorise it at your January Board meeting or email your Directors a flying minute. To be eligible for the 2nd draw they must receive your donation by 5 August 2011. ROMAC is a Rotary program that provides medical treatment for children from developing countries in the form of life-saving and/or dignity restoring surgery not accessible to them in their home country. Its run by Rotarian volunteers, just like you, surgeons donate their expertise and they have minimal overheads - no office, no paid staff and even the prize holidays were donated - so you receive great value for your donations. Plus it’s heartening to know that your donations are spent in our country supporting our local communities.
ROMAC has sent informative brochures to all clubs, but if you’d like to download one simply go to their website: www.romac.org.au/
