Dear
Friends,
As
Convention approaches I know many of you will be
unable to make Los Angeles but you will be there
in spirit promoting our Rotary Action Group in
your own individual way.
REMaRAG is flourishing and has been assigned
booth 1519 in the House of Friendship and will
serve as a general meeting place for our members
and friends. Anyone willing to man the stand for
an hour or so are always welcome, it does mean
everyone can then have a wander and attend some
plenary and breakout sessions.
Again we shall be sharing our stand with other
Malaria groups from around the world - PNG, RAM,
CRID, Canada, Tanzania, Uganda, Benin, Cote
d'Ivoire, Zambia, Nigeria to name just a few -
showing our combined strength in combating these
menacing little insects! Please bring along any
suitable material for displaying in the booth,
it is your action group so show yourself off!
We
again have been assigned a break out session in
Room 153B on Tuesday 17th June 1530-1630.
However please drop by the booth before the day
in case the room has changed. Drake has
gathered together another very interesting panel
of 'experts' and of course there is the
opportunity of asking questions.
We
have many thousands of supporters and friends of
REMaRAG throughout Rotary International battling
against Malaria either in raising money or
actually distributing nets etc but we could do
with more paid up members. Any drive you can
give this aspect of our Action Group would be
appreciated - Life membership $100 - Annual dues
are also now due please. I will collect money at
the Convention or send direct to David.
Drake (Vice Chair) David (Treasurer) Jason
(website) and myself (Chair) are pleased to stay
in office for another year - because we enjoy
our involvement with you - but through the
amount of Rotary work undertaken by both Ian and
his wife Heather, Ian has reluctantly
relinquished the office of Secretary therefore
if there is any one in our midst who would like
to know more about the role please contact me.
Naturally as is most Rotary work it is an
honorary position.
I
either look forward to seeing you in Los Angeles
or of hearing the good works that you continue
to do in the name of Rotarians Eliminating
Malaria a Rotary Action Group - articles for
inclusion on our website are always appreciated

Yours in Rotary Service & Friendship
