At next week's meeting, you are encouraged to Wear a Hat to lift the lid on mental illness.
 
Rotary Clubs of Victoria have partnered with Australian Rotary Health Research in support of the ‘Lift The Lid’ campaign, which aims to raise funds to significantly increase research into mental illness prevention.
 
Each year approximately 1-in-5 Australians will experience a mental illness and in order to help future generations of young Australians, we need to look ahead through research and find out how we can prevent this type of illness occurring. 100% of money raised goes to research into helping those affected by depression, anxiety, schizophrenia and many other illnesses.
 
You don't have to wear a Hells Angels bikie helmet like our illustrious President but, as long as you get in the spirit of things, it will help raise vital funds for this worthy cause.
