The assembly is an annual learning and development day for incoming Rotary club executive members in preparation for the new Rotary year.
This year’s District 9675 Assembly provided an opportunity for ROMAC, with Rotarians proudly purchasing leis in celebration of love, hope and respect for children from Oceania requiring life-changing medical treatment.
ROMAC District 9675 Chair Jenny Pedley and Eastern Region Chair Anita Robinson also had an opportunity to provide an update on the children the Eastern Region has supported so far this year.
Both said it was wonderful to share the impact of ROMAC’s work and highlight the incredible difference Rotary continues to make in the lives of children and their families across the Pacific.
A heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported ROMAC during the day and helped raise awareness of this very special Rotary project.
