Dear Brother/Sister,
Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and His blessings. I pray to Allah (swt) that this letter finds you in good health and good spirit!
The Muslim Forum of the Pacific Northwest Invitation Committee is pleased to announce the Forum’s Second Inaugural Muslim Leadership Conference to take place near Ellensburg, Washington between October 30 and November 1, 2009, insha’Allah. The forum was inaugurated at last year’s meeting which occurred at the same place and similar timeframe. Muslim leaders and community members from all over the Pacific Northwest convened at that meeting and agreed upon the forum’s mission, goals and potential activities. Since then, a rough draft of the bylaws was written and memberships were filed and accepted. Currently there are 21 member organizations constituting the forum. The purpose of this year’s meeting will be to finalize the bylaws and select a board of trustees to run the activities of the Forum for the coming term.
For organizations that have not yet joined our Forum, it is our honor and pleasure to invite you and other interested members of your community to attend the conference and be part of this important milestone. For those organizations that have already joined the Forum, please ensure at least 2 representatives of your organization attend the meeting. However, let me also point out that this meeting will serve as a social gathering event with camp activities to be done in parallel with the meetings. So please bring your families along and let them enjoy the stay at the camp and make use of its leisure facilities including soccer, volleyball, table-tennis, billiards and fishing, or just enjoy the outdoors.
Please find attached to this letter a membership form (to be filled out and sent to the address shown) for the non-member organizations, and a copy of the current draft of the bylaws (for review prior to the meeting) for member organizations. The Invitation Committee sincerely hopes that you will take an active role in this noble effort at its formation stage. You will be joining your brothers and sisters from all over the Pacific Northwest to work together toward advancing the cause of Islam and Muslims in our communities and throughout the Pacific Northwest region.
May Allah (swt) guide us all to what’s in the best interest of Islam and Muslims, and honor us to be among His sincere servants who strive in his cause, Aamin!
Sincerely,
Omer El-Amin

Dear Brother/Sister
Assalaamu `Alaykum wa Rahmatu Allah wa Barakatuhu
And hold fast, all together, unto the bond with God, and do not draw apart from
one another. And remember the blessings which God has bestowed upon you: how,
when you were enemies, He brought your hearts together, so that through His
blessing you became brethren; and [how, when] you were on the brink of a fiery
abyss. He saved you from it. In this way God makes clear His messages unto you, so
that you might find guidance. 3:103
