I’ve scheduled a picnic on Sunday June 7th, 2009 at Belfountain Conservation Area. Most of you will have already been there but here’s their website anyway:

http://www.creditvalleycons.com/recandleisure/belfountain.htm

This is a pot-lock style picnic so if you can, you should bring your down dish. Also bring bats, balls and bails so we can play some sports. Let’s aim to get there around 12PM so we can make most of the day. More information will be posted on kashmir.ca.

Please pass this message along to any other Kashmiris that you may know.

I hope to see you all there.

Pray for good weather.

Eid Get-together on Saturday, December 20th at Bombay Palace

To celebrate Eid-Ul-Adha I have planned a get-together on Saturday, December 20th at Bombay Palace.  Sorry for the late notice but bookings are hard to make at this time of the year.  We have the place booked from 11:30 AM - 3:30 PM so please try to come as early as possible.  Here is the map for the place:

The price per plate is $18 for adults and $9 for children under 12 years of age, the food is sure to be great.  This time the get-together is held on a Saturday instead of the usual Sunday as per the request of many people who work on Sunday.  We'll keep switching the days around in the future so everyone can attend.

Please pass this message along to your family and friends.  I hope to see everyone there, if you have any questions, just email or call me at the number below.  An RSVP is not required to this email as the price of the banquet hall is not predetermined and based on how many people come.  

Once again, Eid Mubarak to everyone and I hope to celebrate this auspicious occasion with all of you.

Khuda Hafiz,

Eid-ul-Fitr get-together on Sunday October 12th, 2008

Asalamualaikum and Ramadan Mubarak,

Please note that an RSVP is REQUIRED for this event.

As Ramadan draws to a close and Eid-ul-Fitr approaches, I thought it would be a good idea to have an Eid get-together.

The event is scheduled on Sunday October 12th, 2008 at 12PM at Havelly Restaurant & Banquet Hall in Mississauga.  The address for the restaurant is:

4141 Dixie Rd
Mississauga, ON, L4W1V5
Phone: 905 212 1213

We usually hold this event at Bombay Palace but this year I figured we should try something different.

The price per plate is $20 and kids are half price. 

Please call 416 737 9024 or email zarars at gmail dot com and specify whether you will be attending or not.  Please also specify the number of people attending so that the proper reservations can be made.  Feel free to forward this invitation to other members of your family and friends.

If you have any questions, just call or email me.  You may also contact Mrs. Tabasum Shuja at 905 799 9329, she greatly helped in organizing this event.  We hope to see everyone there.
