MSA National - East Zone USA

As-salam `alaykum East Zone USA,

I wanted to thank all of the organizers and attendees for making the 2009 MSA National East Zone Conference a huge success!

We had over 700 students representing nearly all 22 states across the East Zone. The east zone attendees participated in inspiring lectures delivered by some of our greatest scholars and speaker throughout North America. They also contributed to great parallel sessions, which consisted of Islamic finance workshops, COMPASS training workshops, an amazing executive round table, a brothers' basketball tournament and a sisters' fashion show along with several others.

I just want to remind you all to get out and vote in the MSA National upcoming elections! Keep your eyes and ears open for the nominees for next years board.

Finally I look forward to seeing you all at the next conference, the YM-MSA National conference, in Hartford, CT May 23rd- 25th!

Barak'Allahu feekum and May Allah (swt) grant us all success on our finals!

We are less than two weeks and counting until MSA National's annual East Zone conference in Philadelphia, PA on April 10-12th. Insha'Allah we are expecting approximately 700 plus attendees this year from all across the east zone. For any of you who haven't registered, we are keeping conference-only registration open until a few days before the event.

This year's east zone program is very unique from previous years. On Friday night, a fashion show will be held exclusively for the sisters and on Saturday night, there will be a brothers' basketball tournament.

• Sisters, if you are interested in volunteering for the fashion show, please contact Sr. Rubbab at .
• Brothers, if you would like to register a team for basketball, please contact Br. Qasim at .

Along with these two programs we will have some of North America's greatest scholars and speakers come out for east zone. This dynamic and versatile program has been carefully fashioned over several weeks by the local volunteers and MSA National's PTF.

As-salam `alaykum East Zone USA,

As most of you may have heard East Zone USA's conference is just a few months away. In preparation for this year's conference Sr. Asma Mirza and I visited Philadelphia and met with the local committee of this year's conference. I can say with confidence, masha'Allah, that we are working with a very dedicated group of individuals who are trying their hardest to make this one of the best conferences in East Zone history. This year's venue is like none before. University of Pennsylvania's Museum of Archeology and Anthropology will be the site of our conference and is located in the heart of Philadelphia. Not only will this be a totally unique and enriching experience, it will also have a metropolitan vibe. As we our finalizing our main speakers and scholars who will be attending this year's conference and setting up the registration, I ask you all to help get the word out for the conference this year and to invite all your friends and local MSA's to attend. The dates again will be April 10-12th so book your travel arrangements now! If you have any questions please do feel free to email me at and keep an eye out for the Face Book event entitled 2009 MSA National East Zone USA Conference (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=46114772085). Please do keep your eyes and ears open for updates, as they will be coming soon! I assure you this year's conference will not be one you will want to miss!
