Asalaamu Aliakum,
Parents should pick up their girl’s second cookie orders Sunday, March 9th at 2PM. Please email Sis Zakiya at zakiya [dot] zaid [at] gmail [dot] com for the address, as it will not be placed on the blog. Being on time is appreciated since she has other obligations on Sundays. Thank you again for your participation in the 2014 Cookie Season.
Ma salaama,
Sis. Kesha
