Dear Grandma,

Assalamu Alaikum

How are you and Grandpa?

Mom, Dad, Tariq, Batool and I are all fine, alhumdillillah.

Did you and Grandpa go with Aunt Rose white water rafting on the Colorado River last weekend? Insha'Allah it was fun! How many seniors from the masjid went?

I'm glad you two are so active and started the seniors club at your masjid. What are your plans for next month?

The reason I am writing is that the kids here at our masjid are bored. We'd like to get the masjid board to build a gym so that we can play volleyball and basketball in the winter. But we can't figure out what to do to get the board to notice us and take us seriously.

You got the seniors club going after a lot of opposition.

Yes, I know that only one gym could be built and we'd need to take turns with the boys (insha'Allah a separate gym could be built later). But it's a start and I really want to play volleyball.

We'd also like to have a five day a week afterschool club, like our next door neighbors do at their synagogue.

Would you help us figure out how to get this done?

Jazak'Allah khairan.

I love you.

Salam,
Khadijah
