Food, friends, fun and fabulous prizes, these were the by-words at the Eid Milan Lunch organized by MuslimMoms.ca on October 19, 2014.

The event was announced a month in advance and like all events and get-togethers organized by MuslimMoms.ca’s FB group, spots filled up fast. Last time was a halwa puri breakfast event and all guests had enjoyed it to the max. This time the fare was traditional desi again, at Karachi Kitchen’s Meadowvale location. Ladies, dressed in their finest Eid clothing started coming in at around 2 and soon the premises were full with just MuslimMoms.ca guests, so much so that the management had to turn away other dine-in customers after a while!

Prizes

As always, we also had some fabulous prizes to be given away through a raffle draw.

Hina Syed gave away a ‘Body  by Vi’ gift hamper to Samreen Sheikh.

Nazia Asad had sponsored two gifts, a lip gloss and a pack of multivitamins for kids. Shazia Kazmi and Asma Zaman walked away with these.

Khadija from Muslimahs United Conference had six event tickets to be given away. Maria Rashid, Arshia, Nazia Rizvi, Iqra Khalid, Nusaiba and Arshiya Golpani won these tickets.

Raaela had brought in a custom Eid Mubarak cake and it was won by Anees.

Tracy from She Canada had a one year subscription to the magazine to be given away, Aaisha Islam walked away with this prize.

And finally the piece de resistance: Uzma from Uzma’s Canvas Calligraphy had brought in her original calligraphy canvas for the raffle and Maha Taufeeq won this beautiful inscription.

Food, Friends and Photos

Iqra Khalid, a young Muslim woman from Mississauga also spoke at the event. She is seeking a Liberal Party nomination for the riding of Mississauga Erin Mills in the next federal elections.

The raffle and prizes distributed, food was laid out, a tempting array of Pakistani food: Biryani, Karahi, Chicken Tikka, Naans, Mixed Vegetables, chutneys, salad and kheer as the final sweet touch to the delicious food.

Before everyone walked away, we also conducted a quick group photo session, everyone had been clicking away pictures with their new friends, but we wanted everyone in the frame for our report!

Enjoy looking through our picture gallery for the event and watch out for more events in the coming months. A MuslimMoms.ca event is surely not to be missed!
