Rob stitched together a series of video clips which vividly illustrated the incredible and life changing operations that the ROMAC team perform in Australia and NZ on the disadvantaged children from the Pacific region.
ROMAC is arguably the most iconic of all Rotary projects ; recently our Club gave $3,000 to ROMAC and it’s on the agenda for the next Board meeting.
Pam Wood and Garry Maloney also from the North Ryde Club attended. Both are very dedicated Rotarians with Pam Operations Manager for ROMAC in Australia.
John Corney, a long standing supporter of ROMAC, gave the vote of thanks and tree certificate ( the idea of which originated with the NR Club).
Thanks Ian for your help with the technology and Peter, Louise and Susie for helping set up the hall.
We were treated to a 3 course meal, two of which were prepared by Di. As the photo shows, these were very good.
Thanks Di and best wishes with your trip to the US to see your family. Say hi to “ The Donald “.
Bruce Jacob
