According to the MSN event schedule distributed at Monday’s luncheon, the MSN will hold at least 18 luncheons and one field trip, one picnic, and Eid dinner.

The MSN Outreach Secretary, Abdul Razzak Adenwala, said that in order to fulfill its mission the MSN is trying to extend its program for the seniors despite its financial limitations. He said the MSN events are not only limited to socializing but also provide education and information related to matters concerning the seniors.

Zeby Mohsin explained that the MSM has partnered with the City of Fremont’s Human Services Department (HSD) to create informative and socializing programs. She said the MSN held two workshops on diabetes. Zeby also thanked the Islamic Society of East Bay (ISEB) Chairman Mushtaq Ahmed for providing ISEB premises to hold the diabetes workshop conducted by Rajinder Singh, a diabetes educator.
