ROC is committed to raising a minimum of $5,000 per year for the 'Window to the World' School in Lovina, Bali.

Nick recalled those terrible hours after the bombings and what transpired for him and those of the survivors he's been in cont

A big thank you must go to Deb Royle and her event team who worked hard to pull the event together and all those who donated goods or money to help support this wonderful cause! It was a great night which drew ROC members, friends and family out to see the Dan Brown thriller. The raffle drew lots of attention before the even

We had promised ROCstars a special event this week and it was delivered! The dedication for Remembrance Day was expertly put together by our President, Peter Lawrance which included a minute's silence for our fallen, a brief history about the significance of the Day itself and even the gorgeous tunes of that amazing song, True Blue by John Williamson. This event pulled at the heartstrings, as much as it was respectful and relevant to where we are now in Australia in 2016.
