An initial meeting to discuss the pending Rotary Sumba Eye Program fund raiser for Glenferrie Rotary is set for Monday Jan 23rd.
The province of Sumba is one of three main islands in Nusa Tenggara Timur (Eastern Indonesia). Sumba has a very limited capacity to access general surgery, let alone any specialist surgery.
The Sumba Eye Program, established in 2007, is targeted at delivering eye care services to the people of Sumba and building the capacity of the local and regional health staff to provide effective eye care for the community in Nusa Tenggara Timur.
The event itself is on May 5th Friday at Kew MCG same as 2 years ago.
The venue has been booked and the same Blues band “tentatively” agreed to play.
So the meeting next week is to arrange plans for
- Catering
- Advertisement
- Auction – Silent, loud, both?
- Ticketing
Every local Rotarian wanting to be involved is most welcome to come to my place for the meeting – Remember that this is a good example of Rotary in the community. I will be inviting many non Rotarians too.
So 23rd Jan – Monday at 8.00 pm
Nibbles and wine provided
64 Campbell Street, Kew (off Normanby Road)
All please RSVP for catering numbers.
