Salaam Alaikum Everyone! 
 
 
A special recognition goes out to Zainab Abdi (Aman Girl Guide) for selling 10 Discount Cards in one night!
 
 Her mom says: "As a UMF Guide she
presented and started her own fundraising right  after salat last night at the IEC.The announcement in front of full prayer hall was the hardest but
after practicing many times in the car and home she did good
Thanks to IEC friends and members they made her feel good and gave
her the confidence to go on to ask and explain to members  about the
program and the cards :)" 
 
We will be awarding Zainab Abdi a Purple Badge of Excellence to recognize this special achievement when we start back at Guides this month. Let's make tonight Guides night at the masaajid and wear our Green Guides Shirts and try to sell as many Discount Cards as we can! Bring in posters, balloons, baked goods, anything to get people to come and buy the cards and get a chance to tell them all about the program YOUR'E an IMPORTANT PARTof! 
 
5 Tips to help you sell:
1. Make sure you smile your biggest smile at the person walking toward you
2. Make eye contact and say 'Salaam Alaikum' in your most polite voice
3. Ask the person if they have heard about the UMF Guides Discount Card that benefits Youth like you.
4. Tell them they can buy a card to use for 5 months at more than 35 (Muslim) businesses, stores & restaurants for only $25
5. If they buy one (cash or check made out to United Muslim Foundation), thank them for their support. If they do not buy one, thank them for giving you the time to talk to them about UMF Guides... and keep smiling :)
 
If you would like to make a presentation at the masjid about the project and the discount card sales, let an elder at your mosque know, or ask me for help if you are lost about whom to speak with. I'm so excited about each and every one of our Guides taking responsibility to raise money for their troops. I know YOU can do this!
 
I pray your last few days of Ramadhan are filled with blessings and your nights spent trying to achieve the maximum thawaab of Lailatul Qadr.
 
Watch out for the next newsletter where we recognize other Guides who have managed to sell 10 or more Discount Cards and give you the password to the exciting new Guides Portal along with more information on the new Guides Season meetings, with all new themes and fun to look forward to!
