OCTOBER 2015 The Ireland Fund of Monaco was founded by the great A.W.B. Vincent as a celebration of Irish-Monegasque relations and as a way of generating support for projects linking the two countries particularly in the arts. The October weekends celebrations were the rst since the passing of our dear Billy. He would be so proud of the fact that they were the biggest ever led by his successor as Chairman Olivia Gaynor-Long. A record number of donors and supporters from the U.S. Britain and in particular Ireland joined their Monegasque peers for a series of events interactions and celebrations. The weekend opened with a relaxed soiree in the newly refurbished Yacht Club of Monaco. The group was addressed by Dr. Mary Pearse The Ireland Fund of Monaco Writer in Residence at The Princess Grace Irish Library. Mary spoke about the revolutionary but unsung Irish writer George Moore. She talked about how her time in Monaco gave her space and time to complete her work on this great Irish dramatist novelist and social thinker. On Saturday afternoon lunch time was aboard a yacht in Monte Carlo Bay where visitors took in a panoramic view of this unique part of the world. The highlight was The Ireland Fund of Monaco Gala Dinner at the biggest venue in the principality Le Sporting Founder and voluntary CEO of Chernobyl Children Interna- tional CCI Adi Roche and CCI patron and board member Ali Hewson were presented with one of the leading global humanitarian awards The Princess Grace Humanitarian Award. The award was given in recognition of their incred- ible achievement in helping CCI raise over 100 million since the Chernobyl disaster which was the worlds worst nuclear disaster. HSH Prince Albert II patron of The Ireland Fund of Monaco said There is a calling for us all in life but some just hear that more than others. Adi Roche and Ali Hewson are clearly among those and their response to that call has given hope where there was none. I know that their calling is as strong as ever and the need likewise. I wish them every encouragement and success going forward. The Ireland Fund of Monaco Weekend Celebrations 1 4 2 5 3 6 86connect 2016 AROUND THE WORLD MONACO
