Eid Al-Adha events this SundayWe invite you to join ChicagoMuslimConvert (CMC) and ConvertConnectionChicago (CCC) for the Eid prayer, a group brunch, and bowling on Eid Al-Adha this Sunday 11/6.

1. Eid Prayer - 9am at DIC
We will first attend the prayers at the Downtown Islamic Center (http://www.dic-chicago.org/ - 231 S State St, Chicago) at 9am. If you want to enter as a group, please meet in front of the DIC at 8:45am. Sisters will be available to assist other sisters with hijab, and brothers/sisters with our group will be there to guide you on this prayer. Brothers- look for Mike, Sisters- Look for Kelly and Alia.2. Group Brunch - 11am at EATT
After the prayer, we will meet on the sidewalk in front of the DIC and then head over to the restaurant EATT (http://www.eattchicago.com/ - 6 W Hubbard, Chicago). EATT is .7 miles away from DIC so we can walk or take the Red line to the Grand stop. If you live downtown, this should give you time to change between the prayer and brunch if desired.

3. Bowling – around 1pm at 10pin
After our group brunch, we will walk 2 blocks from EATT to 10pin (http://www.10pinchicago.com/bowl.php - 330 N State St, Chicago) for a fun afternoon of bowling.
