Our Chapter is a very small group but we try to do as much as our limited resources and our busy schedules will allow us to do. Our chapter is trying to get youth involvement as they are the future and should be prepared to take the leadership of the organization. We have been successful in our efforts to some extent; our youth members are involved with Muslim Youth Canada project and reports to Rizwan Mohammed, Project Coordinator. With regards to our activities this past year We donated $320 for women's shelter to the Xmas Cheer fund. This is an initiative by Reginas local newspaper, The Leader Post. One of the goals of CCMW Regina Chapter is to liaison with other organizations and women groups. Regina Chapter is a member of Regina Multi Faith Group. We try to attend their monthly meeting, whenever, we could. Three members of CCMW attended their annual dinner/general body meeting in January/11. It was a well attended dinner by various faith groups and Lt. Governor of Saskatchewan Dr. Barnhart was the guest speaker. Islamic Association of Regina hosted an Eid get together for the Community at large and invited dignitaries like Mr. Ralph Goodale, MP, provincial ministers, media people, different faith groups and members of Regina police. CCMW was part of the event and helped with the food arrangement. In December, Nusrat Jalil, president of the Regina chapter hosted a social supper night out for members of Regina chapter. The members enjoyed socializing, played games and had lots of fun. One of the members talked about her work with domestic violence. The Regina chapter implemented a scholarship program in 2004. Our initial investment with the University of Regina was to end within 5 years. In 2007 we extended the duration of the scholarship to 2012. CCMW Regina hopes to extend this scholarship indefinitely- Insha Allah. This years scholarship was awarded to a Muslim girl entering the University.
