To round off the month of March we enjoyed a joint club meeting with RC Port Melbourne at The
Emerald Hotel, Clarendon St, South Melbourne. Along with members and guests of the RC Port
Melbourne we welcomed several other Rotarians. As always it was a pleasure to host AG Lili
Teichman and first time visitors Selba Luka and Sylvie Berchick RC Prahran.
Our speaker Reverend Paul Carr spoke of his work with Youth and their mental health wellbeing and
his work at high school level on youth suicide prevention. His presentation encouraged conversation
amongst our members and guests on ‘what makes us happy’ clearly a key to good mental health.

Thank you from the bottom of our Celtic hearts for your support of the inaugural Melbourne Celtic Festival (take 2). 
 
The importance of mounting the Festival in 2021, not only from the fundraising perspective but also for the musicians who have been unable to work and audiences who couldn’t share their love of live music cannot be underestimated. 
 
It was so much fun!  Let’s do it all again in 2022.
