Cass Social Support Group Moon Festival Celebration

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—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. CASS Care has been an active organisation within the community since 2002, and provides a wide array of services and activities for those from culturally diverse backgrounds. CASS services almost 3,000 families every week. I would like to thank all those involved with CASS for the important work they do for our multicultural community, and to all those who celebrate it, I wish you a very happy moon festival.
