FAMILY EVENT

Arab American Cultural Center

Of the Silicon Valley

3952 Twilight Drive, San Jose, 95124

At Houge Park, Building #2

AACC-SV Would like to invite families with kids of ALL AGES to come to the weekly FAMILY EVENT at the center starting Thursday June 25, 2009 (6-8pm). This should mark the beginning of a regular weekly meeting that will take place every Thursday through the summer of 2009 (same place and same time). The kids will play outside, inside, learn something every week, meet other kids, and most of all have fun.

The center is located in Building #2 in Houge Park. The park is large; and has several play areas including: tennis, basketball, football, grass area, and sand box. Let’s make it a family picnic day, bring your food, meet old friends and make new ones.

We will provide hot drinks and would like to encourage everyone to bring their washable cups, plates and utensils (we will be good role models for our children and start green)

You may forward this email to your friends and family, and if you have any questions you can contact us at (familyEventAACC@gmail.com)

Looking forward to seeing you at the AACC/SV
