Parmida Mostafavi, club president and senior, and Asra Hussain, club member and sophomore, play an icebreaker game at the Muslim Student Association call out meeting on September 12. Members of the club meet every Thursday in Room E242 and expect to plan many events this semester that Mostafavi said she hopes will be more organized than those of the last school year.

“I’d like to make sure the club is more organized; instead of us just hanging out, Nida and I have planned out all the first semester meetings,” Mostafavi said.

She also said that members of the club will organize a fundraiser for Syria sometime this semester, but have not yet worked out dates and details.

Members of the club will continue to meet every Thursday after school.
