Dallas Jamaat members enjoyed picnic held on 19th October, as we have been carrying on this healthy tradition every year. Distinctive feature of this event for the last few years has been that all the Amila members volunteer to prepare and serve the food to their fellow Jamaat members with passionate feelings of service and competitiveness utilizing all their expertise and capabilities. Six teams comprising about 4-5 members each participated in this healthy competition. Winners for the top 3 positions were announced, but the food prepared by all the teams was of such a high quality that the judges had to struggle to choose the winners. The attendance by Jamaat members including Lajna, Ansar, Khuddam, Atfal and Nasirat was overwhelming and everyone enjoyed sharing quality time in eating varieties of delicious foods, socializing, playing and basking in bright sunshine under comfortable temperatures. Each team worked zealously like a well-coordinated group with the sole objective of presenting the best quality of food to their fellow Jamaat members as one united family. Picnic ended with presentation of trophy to the winner of the competition, which was given to the team headed by Hamid Sheikh sahib. Second and third positions were captured by the teams headed by Mansoor Rana sahib and Mubashir Ahmad Chaudhry sahib respectively. The event concluded with congregational Zuhr and Asr prayers in the mosque. Report of the picnic cannot be complete without looking at various pictures reflecting the enthusiasm and joy experienced by Jamaat members of all ages alike. Based on the feedback, some positive changes in the format may be considered to enhance enjoyable experience further in future picnics.
