Pakistan Association
of San Francisco Arranges Annual Picnic
By Ras H. Siddiqui
Glimpses of the
picnic organized by the Pakistan Association of San Francisco
The Pakistan Association of San Francisco
(PASF) held its annual picnic on July 3rd at Lake Elizabeth
in Fremont to accomplish a number of things. First amongst
them was to hold a Pakistani-American community celebration
during America’s Independence Day weekend. Second
was to start spreading the word that Pakistan’s Independence
Day will be celebrated in San Francisco this year on Sunday,
August 14th in front of The Civic Center (just like last
year) and not Golden Gate Park. Third was to continue to
publicize the coming Human Development Foundation (HDF)
Fundraiser to be held in Santa Clara on July 16, 2005 featuring
cricket legend Imran Khan. And last but not least to share
a meal amongst friends prepared by Mehran Restaurant.
Over a delicious menu of chapli kabab and chicken tikka
and nan along with the traditional cake and watermelon (an
American favorite), it was great to see that community members
had not lost their appetite for either food or lively conversation.
Cricket and volleyball took up most of the afternoon.
PASF’s President Anwer R. Siddiqui, Vice President
Inam Choudhary, Treasurer Abdul Latif, Secretary Syed Nusrat,
Directors Altaf Bhatti, Aftab Javed, Mohammad Safdar, Mohammad
