backToTroopParentMeeting08132016

It’s time to get back to troop! Alhamdullilah, PGMA’s multi-level Girl Scout troop is embarking on its 5th year of Girl Scouting. We are hosting an interest and registration meeting for new girl scouts and new troop leaders August 13, 11 AM at PGMA.

Parents of PGMA Girl Scouts from 2015-16 who have not re-registered for the upcoming year, must do so before August 13 or risk losing their spot. Renew your girl’s registration here: https://gsmembers.force.com/members/login. As a last resort or if you are having problems, come to the Back to Troop Parent Meeting on August 13 inshaAllah.

We look forward to a fun and engaging year with all of our girls!

Salat-ul Janaza for our Sister Meryem Şahin

From Allah we come; To Allah is our return.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’oon

Our sister in Islam, Meryem Şahin, mother of three beautiful children, including a PGMA Girl Scout, and wife of Abdulkadir Şahin, passed away today after a long battle with cancer.

The janaza will be Thursday, June 30, 2016, after Thuhr salat (1:30PM) at The Diyanet Center of America (DCA) inshaAllah. Burial proceedings will follow at Columbia Memorial Park (12005 Clarksville Pike, Clarksville, MD 21029). Later, after Asr salat, a Qur’an recitation will take place at DCA.

May Allah, forgive her and elevate her station among those who are rightly guided. Ameen.
