Awe...Lori...you're bunny babies are so cute...
No we aren't going to the international...Our club is very involved in supporting an orphanage in Romania and actually helped get a club started there so most of our club resources (financial and personal time) are focused on that.
We actually brought a young girl (early 20's) who was going blind to have specialized surgery which Ohio State University did for free. A lot of clubs have jumped on the bandwagon and have contributed funds and with matching foundation dollars we've been able to raise $40,000 for the orphanage. Not bad for a club of around 70 people!
That being said I am VERY jealous...It's been a dream of ours to go to Australia!

The reason I didn't reply earlier is because I was waiting for JK to get home to ask him a couple questions about what our Rotary is doing here. One of the recent projects was purchasing wheelchairs that were sent somewhere (?) in Europe. But usually they try to keep the money serving local needs. Our club has around 60 members, so it is about the same size as yours.
Anyway, I have no idea what to expect at the convention, but I'm sure it will be a fun trip. :-)
