  • A final tribute to the Hush Foundation with the performance of 2 pieces written especially for the Hush Foundation, performed by Invictus String Quartet.  
All of this is captured in the consolidation of video clips which can be viewed on YouTube by following this link: https://youtu.be/2tYaPNHzMx4   Take a look at the video.  The musical performances are stunning.
This event has strengthened the Partnership between the Hush foundation and Rotary Melbourne to collaborate in sharing kindness initiatives and gratitude for the first class healthcare services we enjoy, under challenging circumstances.
Following a most enjoyable gathering nearly half of the members and guests attending kicked on to the Imperial Hotel where we shared an enjoyable meal.
Thanks to everyone who attended.
