members and most needy members of our great city. There are over 250 volunteers that support MARSS and even I could not read that many names into Hansard today. I encourage all members of the Assembly to find out more about the contribution MARSS makes to our community. For more information, please visit marss.org.au.
Next week, UnitingCare Kippax will be launching a new and exciting service for Canberra’s children and families, Kippax newpin. Kippax newpin is about creating sustainable, positive changes in the lives of Canberrans. The service is yet another of the great ways Kippax Uniting serves our community and, in particular but not exclusively, the Belconnen community. The launch is taking place at 11 am on Wednesday, 31 March at Kippax Uniting in Holt. The service they are going to be offering is made possible through a joint effort between UnitingCare Kippax, the Snow Foundation, the government, businesses, other community groups and keen and generous members of our community.
In an effort to raise money for newpin, 15 members of our community are walking—yes, walking—from Fyshwick to Moruya. I understand the team can be farewelled from the Auspace offices at 4 Geelong Street, Fyshwick, at 3 pm on Thursday, 1 April. And they are all expected to arrive in the main street of Moruya at 4 pm on Monday, 5 April.
I urge all members of the Assembly and the Canberra community to support this initiative. Tax deductible donations can be made to Kippax Uniting Community Centre, Luke Street, Holt. I encourage people to visit www.kippax.org.au and view the children and family services page of the newsletter. The flyer is also available on my website at www.alistaircoe.com.au. I wish the walkers all the best and I look forward to the launch on Wednesday.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
The Assembly adjourned at 6.22 pm until Tuesday, 4 May 2010, at 10 am.
