Riverwood Community Centre Moon Festival

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—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. Riverwood Community Centre is a fantastic local group that provides services, activities, and facilities for children, young people, those with disabilities and the elderly. The Centre is run by locals, and with the support of volunteers, is able to service hundreds of people in the community. I would like to thank all those who are involved with the Centre, particularly CEO Michelle Newman, for the important work they do for our community.
