SUMMARY:Weekly Zumba Classes for Women & Girls | Reham Sedky
DESCRIPTION:Zumba Classes are back! \nFor Women & Girls Ages 12+: Join us for weekly Zumba sessions – a fun\, stress-relieving way to stay active\, boost your energy\, and connect with other sisters.

It’s open to everyone\, and no experience is needed.  \nPlease note this class is not recommended for anyone with back or knee issues. \nStarts Wednesday\, Nov. 26 | 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. | Weekly | Conference Room (private space) | $15/session | Register at mcceastbay.org/zumba \nClasses will be canceled if fewer than five people register. \nMCC has a standing policy that financial need should never hold a person back from attending any activity held in the community center.

Because I love my community\, I wanted to bring something positive to encourage women to focus on their health and well-being. I noticed many sisters cannot participate in gyms or sports due to privacy concerns or lack of time. This inspired me to become a professional Zumba instructor to offer something new and beneficial. Alhamdulilah\, through our Muslim community\, I was able to provide this class in a private and comfortable environment that meets our needs. \nPlease join me\, and let’s move\, laugh\, and grow stronger together\, Insha’Allah! \nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org

She has received Ijazah to teach Tajwid in the Hafs and Warsh recitations from the late eminent Syrian scholar Shaykh Abu Hassan al-Kurdi.

The hike will be canceled if there are insufficient RSVPs\, depending on the weather. \n\nWhen: Saturday\, December 13\, 2025\nTime:  8:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. – Please arrive early to park and find the group. The group can wait until 8:10 a.m.\, and then start the hike. Please be on time since we cannot hold the group.\nCarpool: We highly recommend carpooling. No carpool from MCC is available for this hike. \nParking: $4\nMeeting Point: Ohlone College Parking Structure\nTrail: Mission Peak from Ohlone College\nDistance: Around 8.1 miles.\nDifficulty: Hard.\nMisc: Pack a snack and water for yourself.

Please download the All Trails map (free version) if you decide to return in the middle of the hike. This will be very helpful when navigating back to the parking lot.\nRSVP: By Friday\, December 12\, please let us know you are coming for this hike: https://mcceastbay.org/brothers-hike\n\nMohammed Kadoura leads these monthly hikes for the brothers. If you have trouble finding the group on the day of the hike\, please call or text Br. Mohammed at (617) 935-7347. Please remember that we cannot hold the group\, so we request that you arrive on time. \nFor future hikes\, please subscribe to the MCC newsletter and add your phone number to the Men’s Hiking WhatsApp group. \nPlease wear comfortable walking/hiking shoes\, carry a water bottle\, a small snack\, a hat\, sunglasses\, and hiking poles if you have any.  \nQuestions? hiking@mcceastbay.org  \nAbout this trail: \nMission Peak gets throngs of hikers but only savvy trekkers take this route to the summit — an eight-mile out-and-back that stretches out the 2\,000-foot ascent to the summit (the most-popular route ascends a similar height in a 5.2-mile out-and-back). This gradual route is a less-strenuous option for hiking to the top of the popular East Bay peak. \nIt starts from the parking lot at Ohlone College along Mission Boulevard in Fremont\, California. Just one trail — the aptly named Peak Trail — curves and climbs its way to the 2\,517-foot summit of Mission Peak. (From the parking lot\, look for a sign pointing to Ohlone Trail). \nAbundant parking at Ohlone College on the weekend makes this trailhead a welcome alternative to the Stanford Avenue entrance which fills quickly. There’s also a bit more shade on this route compared to other trails to the summit.  \nImpressive views of the Diablo Range and San Francisco Bay open up on the way up. Don’t be surprised if you see deer and coyotes the ground and raptors and vultures soaring overhead. \nBest time to go: Springtime when the hills are green and the wildflowers are blooming. Winter’s the next-best time\, especially if the peak gets a dusting of snow. Fall is OK; summer’s too hot during the day\, but many hikers hit the summit at sunset and hike down after dark (best done under a full moon). \nNO bikes are allowed on this trail.
