It was a pleasure to be part of the launch of the SA Refugee Week Youth Poster Awards at the Murray Bridge Regional Gallery. This followed the launch in Adelaide during Refugee Week. We were entertained by young performers and exhibitors as well as the new community performers from Vanuatu. Thank you to Murray Bridge Regional Gallery director Fulvia Mantelli, Manager at the Murraylands MRC Heather Muirhead, Mayor Brenton Lewis, Chair of the Murraylands Multicultural Network John Scarvelis and a host of other guests in attendance. Following the launch, I was privileged to present to the Murraylands Multicultural Network’s Annual General Meeting to elect its next management committee. Congratulations to John Scarvelis for leading this network over the past few years and ensuring that cultural diversity and cohesion is thriving in the Murraylands.
