The REMaRAG stand was number B3-034

Dear Friends,

I thank you for calling at the “Rotarians Eliminating Malaria – a Rotarian Action Group” (REMaRAG) Stand at the Rotary International Convention in Copenhagen and for showing an interest in Malaria Programmes.

Speaking personally, as Chairman of REMaRAG, & on behalf of Vice Chairman Drake Zimmerman, Secretary Ian Yarker & Treasurer David Oakes, we were thrilled with the response & potential involvement from around the world.

Your continuing interest is paramount to the success of our combating malaria & I would urge you all to periodically visit our website www.remarag.org to get the latest snippets of information from around the world which we hope to update on a regular basis. Also on the web you will find the Purpose & Objectives of REMaRAG.

You must help initially by applying for membership to REMaRAG which is $100 for life membership. This supports the efforts of the committee on behalf of Rotarians throughout the world & helps in collaborating & collecting data of Rotary’s work already in progress. Members will receive a newsletter through the private members page on our web. Please send your $100 to me as soon as possible.

Suggestions for promotion - such as the very successful stickers at Convention - are always very welcome. We are also looking for more area representatives to speak about Malaria and in particular REMaRAG. In time it is hoped to establish Country Committees.

Returning to the Convention - we (malaria) could not have wished for a better final plenary session than when Jeffrey Sachs put Malaria, Rotarians & the World closely together as the forerunners in beating this debilitating Killer. A transcript of Jeffrey’s speech is on our website.

It is my intention to hold our first REMaRAG Annual General Meeting at the Salt Lake City Convention in June 2007, when I am sure we will have plenty to talk about. Please do not hesitate to contact us if I, or any member of the committee, can help you further.

The times ahead are very exciting and in this, our first year as a Rotarian Action Group, we must “Lead The Way”, “Lend a Hand” and “Create Awareness” as “Real Happiness is Helping Others”!!

Please do not hesitate to contact us if I, or any member of the committee, can help you further and please I encourage you to join REMaRAG and to get your Rotarian / Rotaract friends to also join such an active and life saving action group - REMaRAG

Yours in Rotary Service & Fellowship
