Family Fun Night: Reptile Show, Face Painting, Balloons, and More by Sakeena Ahmed

BIS is planning to organize a monthly Family Fun Night for the community to gather at the masjid for an evening of fun that the whole family can enjoy. Our first event of the year was on Friday, February 15 at the Hoover Crescent Islamic Center. This was planned together with Br. Imad Bensalem's son's aqiqah dinner. Alhamdulillah a large crowd attended.

For entertainment, we invited a balloon twister who shaped balloons into animals and figures for the children. We also had face painting. The highlight of the evening was a reptile show. The presenter brought some exotic reptiles such as a bearded dragon, blue tongued skink, tegu lizard, small alligator, snake, and turtles. It was a big hit with the young and old alike as the presenter allowed community members to touch and hold the animals.

May Allah bless our community with more such events and reward those who made the event possible.
