Since the summer is almost here, it’s time for the first Kashmiri picnic. Note that you must RSVP to this email so I have an idea of what kind of space to book, please RSVP by May 15th.
The picnic is on Sunday, 23rd May at:
Albion Hills Conservation Area and Campground
16500 Hwy. 50, Palgrave, L0N 1P0
Please be there by noon. More information including directions can be found here: http://www.thehillsofheadwaters.com/albionhills/
This is a pot-luck style party so each family will try to bring food. If you cannot bring food for whatever reason, please still do come and enjoy the afternoon. There’s plenty for everyone.
We’ll organize cricket, soccer and badminton matches.
I hope to see all the Kashmiri community there so that we can celebrate the coming of summer. Please do pass this message along to other members of the community.

InshAllah, we are once again starting a new round of Chinar Mehfil in May 2010. Chinar Mehfil is get together for Kashmiri Families once a month.
Few things about the Chinar Mehfil .
- All the families who signed up have to try to make themselves available to come to the get together once a month. Saturday dinner or Sunday lunch.
- Every family has to host the get together once, it is a one dish party and the venue will be either in the parks (in summer) or in house of the host. Few exceptions can be accommodated.
- $100 have to paid every month to the person hosting the party and everybody will get a turn to get back all the money.
