Colin Byron from the Rotary Club of Greater Dandenong and District Chairman of Romac - District 9820 - 2016-2017. Colin began his talk by thanking Gus Dominguez and President Ricardo Balancy for inviting him to speak at our meeting. The Romac programme is so good for our community and Rotary. Romac has been going since 1988 and part of Colin’s role is raising awareness and also to try to enlist Clubs and Rotarians potentially to play a part with host families to those who are in need of support because of health issues that are very serious and Romac plays a vital role in assisting them.
District 9820 is a very big District and Rotary Clubs are assisting with donations and now donations are coming from private sources which is excellent. We need to raise approximately $800,000 per year to keep this program viable, Colin said. He gave an excellent presentation with various slides and a few are copied into this document for more information. At the end of Colin’s presentation Rotarian Gary Castricum gave Colin a gift and thanked him for such an informative talk. |
