SUMMARY:Annual Eid Toy Drive for Zakat-Eligible Families
DESCRIPTION:Please help us spread cheer to families in need during this blessed time by donating new unwrapped gifts (in person or online) to the MCC Girl Scouts’ 6th Annual Toy Drive. \n\n\n\nThis year\, we are collecting over 650 toys for local zakat-eligible families\, including many refugee families assisted by MCC East Bay.  \n\n\n\nHelp us ensure every child receives a gift in time for Eid by making donations or dropping off your gifts on March 1 – 25.  This gives us time to sort and pack individualized gifts appropriate for each family.  \n\n\n\nThere are four ways to bring a smile to a child’s face this Eid: \n\n\n\n\n– Ship to MCC via our Amazon wish list at https://mcceastbay.org/wishlist. Please use this list as a guide for the types/numbers of toys requested. We encourage you to shop elsewhere when possible and to boycott brands like Walmart and Fisher-Price.\n\n\n\n– Donate using Cheddar Up (secure link) or drop off cash/checks (made out to “Girl Scouts”) marked “Toy Drive” or gift cards to the MCC office.* These can be handed to Aminah on Fridays (9 am – 4 pm).\n\n\n\n– Drop off toys at MCC (bins are located in the lobby) (MCC doors are open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily) or Northstar School.\n\n\n\n– Ship toys/gift cards from any online retailer to: MCC Girl Scouts\, 5724 W. Las Positas Blvd.\, #300\, Pleasanton\, CA 94588\n\n\n\n\nPlease avoid: \n\n\n\n\n– Electronics or electronic accessories requiring children to have access to a particular device\n\n\n\n– Previously used items\n\n\n\n– Clothing\n\n\n\n– Dollar store or similar quality toys\n\n\n\n– Toys of a violent nature (guns\, swords\, etc.)\n\n\n\n– Toys that may be construed as having an inappropriate nature\n\n\n\n– Makeup\, nail polish\, ‘tattoos’\n\n\n\n\nRemember that we hope to share gifts these children may not typically have access to. If you donate a toy that needs batteries\, please attach a set. \n\n\n\nWe are grateful to all our interfaith community partners for their support\, year after year. \n\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\n*MCC Girl Scouts will use funds collected to purchase toys or wrapping supplies for the drive.  Any extra funds received will be used for school supplies for the same group of children for the next school year. \n\n\n\nQuestions for Girl Scouts Troops 30875 and 32705? girl-scouts@mcceastbay.org

SUMMARY:Young Men Pre-Ramadan Manliness Conference
DESCRIPTION:Assalamu Alaikum. The response from Tri-Valley parents of teen boys regarding this new initiative has been overwhelming. *We are positively full for in-person attendance.* The waitlist is open for in-person attendance. Otherwise\, the live-stream option is still open: https://mcceastbay.org/kickstart \n\n\n\nFor young men ages 13-19! Join your fellow brothers for an inaugural conference to kick start the first of many regular programs on the art of manliness in the Islamic tradition. We’ll discuss chivalry\, cars\, Ramadan\, and practice prophetic grappling. \n\n\n\nFutuwwa (Arabic: فتوة\, “young-manliness”) is a conception of adolescent moral behavior around which myriad institutions of Medieval confraternity developed. With characteristics similar to chivalry and virtue\, these communal associations of Arab men gained significant influence as stable social units that exerted religious\, military\, and political influence in much of the Islamic world. \n\n\n\nSaturday\, March 9 | 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. | MCC Conference Room | $20/person; men ages 13-19 only | Space limited to 130 young men (once full only live stream option open) | Register at mcceastbay.org/kickstart \n\n\n\nSnacks and light refreshments are provided.  \n\n\n\nA joint effort of Walnut Creek Islamic Center\, San Ramon Valley Islamic Center\, and Muslim Community Center East Bay.MCC has a standing policy that financial need should never hold a person back from attending any activity held in the community center. To request a financial waiver\, please complete our financial waiver request: HTTP://mcceastbay.org/scholarship \n\n\n\nAgenda:-1:00 – 1:30: Arrival & Registration-1:30 – 2:00: What is Futuwwa? – Imam Bilal ibn Yusuf -2:00 – 2:50.
