2026 Hari Raya Haji Lunch Thank You Message
Salaam members and friends,
We would like to thank our members for your support of MIFNA’s Hari Raya Haji lunch held on Sunday, May 31, 2026. Approximately 200 people attended the event at EDW Senior Center, 2800 N Studebaker Rd, Long Beach, CA 90815.
It was a great social gathering of MIFNA members and friends, celebrating Hari Raya Haji. We had an amazing lunch of beef and goat soup, fried chicken, various vegetable dishes, and more, prepared by MIFNA members. We had communal dhuhur prayer after lunch, followed by presentations on Hajj and Umrah. After the presentations, attendees were tested on their knowledge with a quiz session of “Umrah and Hajj: How Much Do You Know?”
Much appreciation to the chefs, donors, and all volunteers who contributed to this event. Thank you also to all members who brought other food, desserts, and fruits for lunch.
