On 18 September I had the pleasure of hosting a visit by the Ladies Probus Club of Grandviews at Parliament House. Grandviews Ladies Probus is a very active Probus group in my electorate of Oatley. It regularly holds social events and outings and has guest speakers at its meetings. Probus clubs are a great way for community members to meet and engage in activities together. It was great to have the Grandviews Probus Club come to Parliament for a tour and a lovely lunch, and I was very interested to hear about the club's recent activities.

Speaker, the Chinese community recently celebrated their Moon Festival, and I had the pleasure of attending Riverwood Community Centre's Moon Festival Celebration. The celebration of the moon festival is about bringing people together and giving thanks. This year, Riverwood Community Centre hosted a lively event with some fantastic performances from the Riverwood Chinese Dancing and Choir Group, the Chinese Family Group and the Australian Chinese Senior Group. Everyone was able to enjoy these performances, as well as play some traditional games.

CASS Moon Festival

CASS Moon Festival Celebration

Thursday, 17 October 2019

Speaker, the Chinese community recently celebrated their Moon Festival, and I had the pleasure of attending the Chinese Australian Services Society's Social Support Group Moon Festival Celebration.

The celebration of the moon festival is about bringing people together and giving thanks.

This year, CASS invited me to join their Social Support Group in Peakhurst, where I was able to serve moon cakes to their disability group as well as their elderly group.

It was a great opportunity to interact with the CASS community, and discuss their concerns about the local area.
