We were very fortunate to have Chris (Savvy) Savill as our guest speaker (and Hat Judge) on Monday night, to talk about Mental Health and how each of us can make a difference help those in need.
Savvy, the Mt Barker Citizen of the Year 2020 and Ambassador for RU OK?, proved to be an engaging, enthusiastic and informed advocate for mental health. He taught us to be alert, how to recognise the signs that someone is experiencing difficulties and how a simple, but sincere, "Are You OK?" can start the process of opening up to ask for help.
Members wore colourful head coverings of all types, often with wonderful stories they shared with all. Savvy even got into the swing of things to judge the Best Hat-Male, Best Hat-Female and Best Hat-Story. There were some tough choices but no one had any issues with the final selections!
The new menu that Pauline has negotiated with the hotel also proved to be a big success and capped off a great night!
Monday's meeting - October 19
