Last Thursday POM Wonderful hosted a contest for VIP tickets to D.C’s Taste of the Nation! Mission of the event from the website:

“Since 1988, Taste of the Nation has brought together the most creative culinary minds across the nation. Each spring and summer, pioneers of modern American cuisine, national celebrity chefs and mixologists including David Burke, Stephan Pyles, mixologist Tony Abou-Ganim, Bravo’s Top Chef Tom Collichio, Food Network stars Tyler Florence and Emeril Lagasse and thousands more like them donate their time, talent and passion at nearly 40 events across the United States and Canada with one goal in mind: to raise critical funds needed to help end childhood hunger. 100% of supports Share Our Strength’s efforts to end childhood hunger.”

I was more than overjoyed when I was selected as a winner to attend! I hopped on the D.C metro for the FIRST time!

I met up with Quinn ( another winner of the contest and a lovely blogger:) )

We started off the evening at the Volt sponsored  VIP reception

( Excuse the flash)

Eats from the VIP:

Beet Macaroon with Foie Gras Mousse

I can’t say I have ever tasted something like this, it was flakey and sweet!

Volt chefs hard at work!

and I enjoyed the view from above, it was nice to see everything!

The event was at the National Museum Building, which by the end of the evening I was in love with!

We made our way down to the floor for some more eats- I had not eaten anything since lunch at 1:00 and I was good to go ( or so I thought).

The absolute star of the evening, Georgetown Cupcake

I honestly felt like I had died and gone to heaven! Each bite was light and flavorful.

I dove into the Salted Caramel  and I loved every single bite!

We of course had to stop by and drink some POM Wonderful, who made this amazing evening possible!

 POM Mocktail- Was so light and refreshing!

I can’t even describe how amazing this evening was, it was a chance for me to taste an assortment of delights that I normally would not!

This semester the UMBC MSA will be hosting the biannual Football Tournament. The tournament will be held on April 24, 2010 on UMBC's Erickson Field. There will also be a concurrent barbecue and inter-MSA sisters' picnic, Insha'Allah. These three big inter-MSA events will all be focused on raising funds for Muslimat Al Nisaa, a Muslim woman's shelter that is in need of such types of fund-raisers and awareness campaigns. We would like to invite the MSA at John Hopkins University, Towson University, and College Park to participate in these inter-MSA events. Below are more details about each of the three events,

*Flag-football Tournament.*
Begins at 10:30 am
In order to participate please have a minimum of 7 brothers on your team. If you need more players please contact Br. Abubakr or Br. Yousuf and arrangements can be made Insha'Allah.
Each team may have a maximum of 14 players with a maximum of 7 players on the field.
Their will be a registration fee of $6.00 per player.
The winning teams will be awarded a trophy, Insha'Allah.
For more information, please contact the Tournament Coordinators, Abubakr Shafi, (abubakr1@umbc.edu) and Yousuf Ahmad, (yousuf1@umbc.edu)

*Sisters' Picnic at Erickson Field*
Begins at 11:30am
This is an Inter-MSA sisters' event.
Participation is free, but food will cost $6.00 per person.
For more information, please contact Asmaa Khatib (akhatib2@umbc.edu).

*MSA-BBQ
*Begins at 12:00pm
Food will cost $6.00 per person.
(for those who have paid the player registration fee or the picnic fee,
the BBQ fee will not be charged.)
For more information, please contact Zabir Khan (z90khan@gmail.com).

Even though we are charging fees, none of the proceeding will be going into our MSA account. Everything we make will be going towards Muslimat Al-Nissa. So even if you don't like football, barbecues or picnics, please come to support our sisters at the shelter and encourage others in your MSA to do so as well. If you would like to donate more than your $6.00 fee or learn about other ways to assist the shelter, you will also be able to do that at this event. This is also a great opportunity to strengthen our bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood, and to ensure future inter-MSA event like this, Insha'Allah.

We will be sending out more information as it becomes available, including a flier to email to the members of your MSA.
