BENEFICIARIES: CHILDREN IN DISTRESS
You
were
invited to join us at the above function.
We are raising funds for four causes involving children.
They are (locally) Windermere at Pakenham – which assists dysfunctional
families and children at risk, (statewide) Very Special Kids – which assists
children with life-threatening illnesses and their parents, (internationally)
ROMAC – a Rotary program that brings children to Australia for life saving
and/or dignity restoring surgery not available in their own country, and
(internationally) Interplast – a Rotary program which, combined with the College
of Surgeons, sends a team of surgeons and nurses to developing countries to
conduct operations on children there and to teach new surgical techniques to the
local surgeons. We feel sure that you
will agree with the worthiness of our causes.
The auction will offer all manner of goods and services for sale, some of high value, many not.
The children were most grateful for your involvement and support.
