Mitzvah Day – Still looking for Volunteers!
Assalamu Alaikum Community members,
As I’m sure you know, once again ISNF is co-sponsoring Mitzvah Day on Sunday, May 20th along with Temple Beth Zion and Westminster Presbyterian Church. It’s essential that we collaborate with members outside our Muslim community. We need more volunteers for different charities aside from the usual people: Rima and Mehdi Khan, Husam Ghanim, Ali Shah, Saeeda Siddiqui, Asma Ashraf, Arooj Shaikh, and Nicole Multignani. They’re the team captains of different projects that you can work with or you can do a Cystic Fibrosis Walk on that day in the morning. I can give you details if you’re interested.
I’m also looking for youngsters 13 and above who can entertain the elderly at the Harbor Health from 10-12:30 followed by lunch. Breakfast will also be given at 9 am if you register.
Booklets should be available at the Heim Mosque. For more details, please email or call me. Thanks!

Spring Festival – A Huge Success
Assalamu Alaikum,
Our Spring Festival was a huge success. Thank You so much to all those who volunteered and contributed to Saturday’s Spring Festival.
There’s too many names to mention but the major players were Br. Husam of course for his wonderful flyers, notices, BBQ organizing, and purchasing of food/materials; Humaira Hashmi for her success and time under the sun for selling all the plants; Br. Rahim and Br. Rashid for their tireless efforts of helping out with anything that’s needed as usual; Imam and his wife Sr. Sawda for their delicious biryani and never ending support and time; Fakhira Khan for her successful juice bar which is a lot of hard work and who’s always available with anything I need help with; Tasleem Gilkar and Saima Mehboob for their huge help in selling clothes which was a major part of the funds we collected; Josephine Siddiqui for her hard work in helping to make some beautiful, good quality and professional looking baskets; Asma Hashmat and Naseera Syed for their neverending donations to the Masjid; my daughter Alina for helping me set up, clean up, and sell donated items, and Br. Rasul for all his hard work in the kitchen along with some new faces I’m sure Br. Husam can mention to thank later.
Thank you to all those who donated and served food as well as those who purchased tickets. It was all a team effort and without your help, this spring fest would’ve been a dud. Thanks so much!
Wassalam,
Amber
