The Rotary International Presidential Peacebuilding Conference 2018 (RIPPC 2018), will be taking place on the 17 March 2018 at Sydney Town Hall. This is a Conference you do not want to miss with this being one of the six Rotary Peace Conferences to be held across the globe.
The Conference Program includes keynote lecturers and presentations from international and national leaders in the industries of ‘Economic and Community Development and Peace’. Delegates will hear about the underlying causes of conflict including poverty, disease, lack of water and food security and the lack of education from our inspirational and stimulating speakers.
Availability of a second hand Rifton Utility Chair for an Australian disabled child.
You can visit the website at:
The wheelchair is fairly new and in good condition. The donor’s child had outgrown the use of this and like to have Rotary to onward donate to another child who can use this.
This is more suited for home use or rehab centre and not so for a hospital.
The Rifton Activity Chair is stored in Kennard Storage, Artarmon, NSW.
Anyone interested to contact me.

In March 2018, it will be 30 years since Rotary Oceania Medical Aid for Children (ROMAC) brought our first patient, 11-year-old Annand Chand from Fiji, to the John Hunter Hospital for life-saving surgery. Since then, over 500 children, from our neighbouring island countries have received life-giving or dignity-restoring surgery, thanks to ROMAC. We can all be proud of our efforts.
To celebrate, I invite you and your partner to attend our 30th Anniversary Dinner at Strangers’ Dining Room, NSW Parliament House, 6 Macquarie Street, Sydney on Friday 16 March 2018.
The dinner is $150 per person (inc GST), plus the online booking fee, and includes 3 courses and drinks. All meals are gluten-free. Dairy-free and vegetarian options are available when booking online. More information about the Dinner is available in the 30th Anniversary Dinner Flyer.
You will be in the illustrious company of the current Rotary International President, Ian H.S. Riseley, and his wife Juliet; The Hon. Brad Hazzard, NSW Minister for Health and Medical Research; other key Rotarians, members of the medical profession and government, former patients and of course, our ROMAC friends and volunteers.
I would be delighted if you can participate in this significant event because:
- It is a time to look back and to look forward - and to thank and recognise all the members who made ROMAC possible, including your Clubs
- We need to thank the medical profession - the specialists, nursing and support staff who treat the children - for all they do
- The governments, agencies and friends who provide support should see what Rotary is made of and what it can achieve
- You will be supporting ROMAC’s commitment to saving the lives of childrenPlease register online at https://www.humanitix.com/event/romac/ as soon as you can because places are strictly limited. Also, please invite your ROMAC friends and your clubs to attend. Tables of 10 are available for $1500 (inc GST), plus booking fee.
