1. CEJ Coffee Cake & True Islam program Logistics
2017

2. Our Goal
National Tabligh Dept has asked each Jamat to hold a Coffee Cake and Islam program every week – 52 programs a year
We are going to achieve this by divide & conquer
4 Halqa or areas with concentration of Jamat members
Each area will hold at least 2 programs per month as a target
Each Area will have a small team composed of local Jamat members including Lajna and Khuddam
Basic team structure requires 3 individuals per area, but anyone interested can join any team for making it successful.
Deliverable : After each program, guest contact info to be collected and sent to Secretary Tabligh.
We CAN do this, inshallah!
