This year we are again, partnering with MQ Sports and Aquatic Centre who will be running a special Parkrun event on. Saturday 23 May  to raise funds for the Macquarie University's Lifespan Health and Wellbeing Research  Centre. The three Rotary Clubs will be organising a BBQ at the ParkRun event this year from 7am until 10am. We are asking members and friends to volunteer to assist at this BBQ. This is a great opportunity to promote Rotary and our clubs as well as raise funds for this worthy cause.

Our 2026 Lei Day Bunnings BBQ at Gladesville will be held this Saturday 2 May to raise funds for ROMAC. Please come and buy a sausage sandwich and support a worthy cause!
Lei Day raises awareness for the work that Rotary Oceania Medical Aid for Children (ROMAC) does to bring children from the Pacific Islands to Australia for life saving surgery and / or dignity restoring surgery, not accessible to them in their home countries.
Lei Day in May is designed to celebrate love, hope and respect for the children of Oceania who need our medical aid, by wearing a lei, the symbol of kindness and sharing.
 
 
 
ROMAC is an official project of Rotary International (RI) and is supported by Rotarians and Rotary clubs in all districts in Australia and New Zealand.
ROMAC is 1 of only a few multi-District Zone 8 projects approved by RI. Others are Australian Rotary Health, Rotary Australia World Community Service (RAWCS), Rotary New Zealand World Community Service and Rotary Downunder.
ROMAC is run entirely by volunteers and has no offices or paid staff.   Overheads and administrative expenses are paid out of earnings on capital.
Expenses for the treatment of children are paid from donations and grants.
ROMAC currently receives no government funding so relies very heavily on the generosity of Rotarians and other supporters to enable us to treat children. And for this we are extremely grateful.
We hope you may consider supporting the treatment of a child.

Rotary is a worldwide organisation of more than 1.2 million business, professional, and community leaders. Members of Rotary clubs, known as Rotarians, provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world.

There are 34,000 Rotary clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas. Clubs are non-political, nonreligious, and open to all cultures, races, and creeds. As signified by the motto “Service above Self”, Rotary’s main objective is service — in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world.

OBJECT OF ROTARY

The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:

•FIRST: The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;

•SECOND: High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society;

•THIRD: The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business, and community life;

•FOURTH: The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.
