Assalaamu \u2018Alaikum to all.\u00a0 This is the first newsletter of the year.\u00a0 Through this newsletter, we plan on sharing the progress and information relating to our center.\u00a0 We hope you and your family will Insha\u2019All-h benefit from this media.<\/p>\n

First thing first.\u00a0 Can you take a moment and think of a name for the newsletter?\u00a0 I have a few names that I like, including just the good old “Az-Zahra News<\/span>“.\u00a0 If you have one, please send it to my attention.\u00a0 The results of the contest will Insha\u2019All-h be announced on May 4th, 2008.\u00a0 Watch for the winner.<\/p>\n

Spring is one of my favorite seasons.\u00a0 I like the grass getting greener and trees budding with color all around us.\u00a0 We must take a moment and thank All-h(swt) for His bounties and blessings.\u00a0 One good way to celebrate spring is to visit the center regularly.\u00a0 We plan on having picnics and other fun-filled family gatherings.\u00a0 If you have an idea for an activity, please send us your suggestions.\u00a0 The program committee is always looking for new ideas to help get families together and have good times.<\/p>\n

We have a GREAT family fun evening planned for Saturday, April 26th.\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s called the Family Pizza-Movie night.<\/span>\u00a0 All you have to do is make sure that you have purchased a ticket for the dandy night.\u00a0 We guarantee that your family will have lots of fun.\u00a0 If you come on time, your child will also be able to help with the pizza preparation.\u00a0 Oh yeah!\u00a0 That will be fun, alright.\u00a0 Besides pizza, you will have two movies, ice cream, and pop corn.\u00a0 All for a small price.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span>Ticket:\u00a0 <\/span>
\n<\/span>$5.00 per person, ages 10 years and older,
\n$3:00 for ages 3 to 10 years old.<\/span>
\nTime: 6pm – 10 pm.<\/span><\/p>\n

We have a BBQ picnic planned for May.\u00a0 We will let you know when we finalize the date and time.<\/p>\n

If you have a child between the ages of 6 and 16, please register him\/her in our weekend school.\u00a0 It is free!\u00a0 Some of the classes currently being offered include Farsi, Deeniyat, Islamic History, and Qur\u2019an reading.\u00a0\u00a0 The teachers are working hard to impart Islamic based education.\u00a0 We also teach the kids to say their salat (namaz).\u00a0 You should see the little angels during the salat times.\u00a0 There are very few situations more pleasing to our eyes than see a child trying to please All-h(swt).<\/p>\n

We are collecting the membership dues for 2008.\u00a0 If you have not yet paid your dues, please fill out the form and mail in with your check today.\u00a0 You may also drop off the completed form when you visit the center on Sundays.\u00a0 Remember, membership has advantages.<\/span><\/p>\n

Health tip of the month<\/span><\/p>\n

Drink plenty of fluids, preferably fewer cups of caffeinated drinks.\u00a0 If you go for a walk or jog, please carry a bottle of water with you.\u00a0 Stop and drink fluids several times during your exercise.<\/p>\n

Also eat fresh fruits and vegetables.\u00a0 If you are fortunate to have a back yard or pots try to grow your own veggies.\u00a0 You will see the difference in taste when compared to the ones you purchase from grocery stores.\u00a0 Not to mention the money you may save in the process.<\/p>\n
