AMFA Family Day at Brookfield Zoo

Date:     Saturday, May 21, 2011

Time:    All Day (AMFA members & families will meet up at 10:30 am  at the North Gate ticketing area to kick off the day)

Lunch:  We'll meet at 1pm near BZ Red Hots! (Bring your own picnic lunch & buy lunch at the Zoo)

Daily Prayers:  Any prayer times that occur will be the responsibility of the families.  We'll try to pray together if space permits!

All tickets, meals and transportation are to be arranged by individually (for tickets, zoo information & directions please visit the Brookfield Zoo website).  This is a nice opportunity to get out to the Zoo in mid-Spring before it gets too hot and too busy with other American Muslim families!

We hope you'll join us for a fun day at the Brookfield Zoo!

April Dinner focuses on the kids: Story Time!

On April 9, 2011 American Muslim Family Association held another event, and this time the focus was on the kids!  Salina Naser, a teacher, mother and founding member of AMFA, played storyteller.  She read two stories, one a published work called "The Green One" and also an original children's story written by Salina.

Here's a great slideshow of photos from the evening:



The dinner was hosted by Junaid Afeef and Nazneen Ahmed.  This time dinner was Papa John's pizza, pop, salad, cookies and tea.  It was a great evening for everyone!
