SPECIAL GUESTS - INEKE THORNTON, ROMAC
Acting President Brian introduced Special Guest, Inika Thornton to speak about  ROMAC.
 
Inika has provided the following notes from her talk:
 
Romac- Rotary Oceanic Medical Aid for Children - is an official, Rotary International multi-district program of and created by the Rotary Districts of Australia and New Zealand. It is run by volunteer Rotarians and funded by Rotary Clubs.
 
There have been 400 children helped since it was commenced in 1988. In 2015/16 - 43 underprivileged and deserving children were treated. In our district most children are treated in Melbourne at the Royal Children's or Monash Medical Centre as these children often require to be in ICU post-operatively and the above hospitals have paediatric ICU's.

The treatment these children receive are life-saving as well as dignity restoring, not accessible to them in their home countries.

All rotary Clubs can help to make sure Romac can continue to treat these deserving children by:
1. Hosting a patient for day,a weekend or a short holiday.
2. Volunteer to be a driver/ visitor
3. Join your district Romac committee as well as promoting Romac.
4.Financial Help- all money donated goes entirely to funding the patients. 

 
Please consider making an annual pledge from your club.

Thank you for the opportunity to speak to your club about this very worthwhile program.
 
Acting President Brian closed the meeting.
 
Ineke Thornton and Acting President Brian Trenery.
