Where Single Muslims Connect http:/www.muslimgatherings.com **D.C. SEPT.27TH 2003** Event Location: Teaism - A Tea House. 400 8th St. N.W. Washington D.C. 20004. Event Time: 7:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. Cost: $25 in advance, $35 at the door (if available) Due to overwhelming request from friends in the eastern half of the country, we are very excited to have our first singles’ networking event on the East Coast in Washington D.C. It will be held at Teasim Café (http://www.teaism.com) Penn Quarter location, in the heart of the city, walking distance from the famous Washington Monument and the Washington Mall. Teaism is a very hip café and was featured recently in the Washington Post newspaper as well as the Food Network channel on TV. We are expecting a lot of new faces from nearby states (NY, PA, NJ and VA) and Insh'Allah will have another sold-out event. So we highly encourage you to register early and buy your tickets since we only have limited number of seats. Light refreshments and drinks will be served. Please contact us (muslimgatherings@yahoo.com) if you have any questions about accommodations, or other event details. Muslim Gatherings is proud to announce that the last event held in the SFO Bay Area was a huge success. There were attendees from as far as London, England and all over the U.S. We enjoyed meeting them all and hope it was worth their time to make the trip. We are looking forward to keeping in touch with our new friends. The speaker at this event was Helal Omeira, Executive Director for CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) for Northern California. He urged us all to get involved with Muslim organizations such as CAIR and also in our communities. We thank Mr. Omera for taking time out of his busy schedule to come speak with us. The evening was filled with fun activities to make sure everyone met the most number of people at the event. There were also some very creative and hilariously funny ice breaking games, which provided some great laughs for all of us. The event was made possible by tireless efforts by not just our core team, but by an army of volunteers and we would like to extend our thanks to them all. What is a Muslim Gathering? A Muslim Gathering is a social event set up to bring together single, young, professional Muslims for an evening, to promote networking and communication. MG events are held in various locations around the U.S. We have had recent gatherings in the San Francisco Bay Area, but are planning future events around the country. Our gatherings are organized by our team of very enthusiastic organizers that seek to meet other Muslims, and also to help introduce professionals in the area to each other. We strive to make the evening comfortable, as well as entertaining. We also try to mix in some short talks by local Muslim scholars, entrepreneurs, business or community leaders with social interaction games and lots of opportunities to mingle with others of like mind and values. The underlying tone of the whole event is set with Islamic values in mind, i.e. no alcohol, dancing, etc. Dress code is enforced as business casual, and dinner is also included to make the evening complete. We also try very hard to keep the ratio of men to women as even as possible. This makes the evening more enjoyable for all attendees. Additionally, MG events are coordinated by a mix of young single and married professionals who know what it is like to go through the process of looking for a compatible spouse in this country.
