Assalamu Alaikum! Join us for an end of summer Muslim educators potluck picnic! No workshops! No schedule! Just a time of fun and fellowship with your fellow Muslim educators! In this relaxing atmosphere, see what educational publishers have to offer in our "Educator's Book Fair." Door prizes, fun, networking, idea sharing, meeting each other, community building!

Who: ALL Muslim teachers (all sectors), teachers in Islamic schools, board members, principals, school staff and Muslim homeschoolers! Where: Al-Hamra Academy 435 South St Shrewsbury, MA 01545 When: Saturday, August 27, 2004 11:00am - 4:00pm Map

Place a flyer on your refrigerator. This is a potluck picnic. Please bring one entree and another dish, enough to feed you (and your guests) and four other people.* NEMEN will provide the soda, ice cream and paper ware.

Please stop by the "Welcome Table" and get your name tag and
any picnic information when you arrive.
All soda cans and bottles should be place in the blue bags around the grounds.
NEMEN recycles and these bags will go to the host school.
Picnic volunteers needed; please contact Sister Cynthia at nemuslimeducators@yahoo.com

Please bring lawn chairs, mats or something to sit on, sun block, maybe a hat or visor, and sheets/blankets for prayer**.

This is being planned as an adult event and as such we will not have a children's program nor have any organized games for children. If you bring your children please make sure to bring toys, balls, games etc. to keep them entertained. The basketball nets and court will not be available. Parents are responsible for their children at all times.

Though not to scale, this picture gives a general idea of the picnic and book fair layout
