Australian Chinese Charity Foundation supports the Parklands
Posted: 31 October 2011
The Centennial Parklands Foundation was delighted with the support of a grant from the Australian Chinese Charity Foundation at a gala dinner held at the Marigold Restaurant on 22 October 2011.
400 people were present and included the Premier of NSW, The Hon. Barry O'Farrell, Federal Senator The Hon. Kate Lundy, Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister, and Consulate General of the People's Republic of China in Sydney, his Excellency Consul General Duan Jielong.
Foundation Executive Officer Peter Hadfield was presented with the grant by Australian Chinese Charity Foundation Chairman, Hudson Chen.
The grant of $6,800 is to assist with the carp mitigation program within the ponds in Centennial Park, through the introduction of Native Bass fingerlings into the ponds. The grant will also cover the cost of the provision of additional fishing equipment for the Parklands' fishing programs for people with a disability.
