Something wasn't working quite right on Wednesday night. After months of being stuck on Zoom, we were finally able to meet in person at Holm Park. I was hoping for members to flock in and reacquaint themselves with their Rotarian Family. Bookings were very low at 14 members, and I was worried!
On the night, four members rocked up for dinner without booking. Without the blink of an eye, Vicky, our caterer said she would work something out and suddenly all four members were accommodated. Thank you, Vicky!
The point of booking for each meeting is that we do not waste food for the caterer and we do not waste Club Member's Funds paying for waste. Please book into meetings. We may not be so lucky next time.
The meeting for those who were there was terrific. The AGM's went quickly and smoothly thanks to Sam.We were well informed by AG Colin Byron on ROMAC.
ROMAC is the acronym for “Rotary Oceania Medical Aid for Children” and is a combined Australia and New Zealand Multi-District Rotary project.
ROMAC has been in operation for over 30 years. With donations to ROMAC, 100¢ in every $1 goes directly to giving life to a child. To donate or read more, visit https://www.romac.org.au/
ROMAC has been in hibernation during COVID, but is hoping to get going again soon.
Colin played an informative 9-minute video and also provided a short PowerPoint presentation about two patients that he has been involved with.
ROMAC is a powerful example of how Rotary can pull together and fund life saving and life-changing medical operations to help children from poorer parts of our geographical region.
I hope that the Rotary Club of Berwick is prepared to come out of hibernation soon too and make some life-changing projects of its own come to life!
