Win $2,500 for your Rotary club

Why is ROMAC making this remarkable offer to you?

The global financial crisis is affecting many Rotary clubs

which, sadly, will need to cut down on their donations.

Ironically, ROMAC's medical costs are increasing as we save more children's lives -

last year we proudly saved the lives of 47 underprivileged children.
ROMAC, a program of the Rotary Districts of Australia and New Zealand,

is privileged to have the support of so many Rotarians

without whom we simply could not continue this humanitarian program.
ROMAC is run by volunteer Rotarians,

and community spirited hospitals dramatically reduce costs.

Compassionate surgeons donate their expertise and their experience helps our kids.

Their generosity significantly increases the value of every dollar donated.

And the money stays right here in our country!

If every Rotary Club donated $1,000 it would help ROMAC

to continue saving the lives of these underprivileged and deserving children.
Desperate times need desperate measures -

we are aware we need to encourage you to donate.

To win a $2,500 donation to your club all you have to do

is donate a minimum of $1,000 to ROMAC, to be received no later than 1st Sept 2009.

Each $1,000 earns one entry,

so if you donate $3,000 you get three chances to win $2,500.

Cheques, payable to ROMAC, should be mailed to:
ROMAC

Win $2,500,
PO Box 220,

Willetton, WA 6955,

Australia,
