We hope you have pre-ordered your food from the many food vendors selling that day. If not, please do so soon as some vendors like Sate Abah have sold out and food item like the mee rebus has reached its maximum order quantity. Link for pre-orders is at the bottom of this page.
There will be tables and chairs set up in the lawn area, but you are welcome to bring your picnic chairs and blankets. However, please leave your cute pets at home.
Zuhur prayers will be at 12:45 pm, and Games will begin at 1 pm. Please sign up for the games you would like to play at the registration table when you arrive. Delightful prizes await.
After the games are done, we will assemble at the Senior Center Hall for the opening dance performed by MIFNA ladies and youth. We will have our prize giving and raffles at the hall too. Remember to buy raffle tickets at the registration table for a chance to win the many wonderful gift baskets donated and put together by our members and friends.
Last but not least, the event will close with a performance by MIFNA band members, accompanied by our very young but talented dancers.
See you then!
