We will also be changing the start time to 7PM and there will be a registration fee to cover the costs needed to continue the program on a consistent basis.
The next Family Fun Night will be next Friday February 7th.
There are no activities tonight. If you come with your children please have them supervised at all times. Masjid will close at 9:30PM.
Program Details:
On family fun nights, there will be activity rooms available for ages 12 & under located in the new phase of the building from the new updated time 7:00PM - 9:30PM. Each room will have various activities such as legos, arts & crafts, movies, and a child care room.
