Annual Report
2016 ANNUAL REPORT Muslim Women for ALL Women 2 MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Assalaamu Alaikum (Peace Be Upon You), Dear Friends, Hind Jarrah, Ph.D. The year 2016 brought great accomplishments as well as difficult and sad times for TMWF. My prayers are that 2017 and the coming years bring peace, goodwill, and compassion to all. We continued to open our doors to all our brothers and sisters, from all faiths and communities, nationally as well as internationally. Victims of domestic violence (DV) with unique cultural and spiritual needs found an oasis of peace in our services and through our compassionate, dedicated, and committed counselors, case managers, and attorneys. Victims and their children moved out of the trauma and abyss of DV abuse, into a hope filled independ- ent state and triumphantly stood firm on their own two feet. Our Educational and Interfaith Outreach programs continued to build bridges of friendship and understanding. The Islamic Arts Revival Series 5th Annual Juried International Exhibition of Islamic Art was truly a success. We thank the amazing staff at the Irving Arts Center and the artists and speakers who participated. The Youth Leadership Development Program is needed now more than ever as it prepares the youth to become civically and socially engaged committed leaders of the future generation. Since the beginning of the TMWF Youth Leadership Development Program in 2007, over 500 youth have shown great leadership and participated in community service. We give a huge salute to TMWF’s generous, compassionate partner organizations, religious leaders and individuals who have put their faith in us. -

Court of Appeals Second District of Texas Fort Worth
COURT OF APPEALS SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS FORT WORTH NO. 2-09-023-CV JOE KAUFMAN APPELLANT V . ISLAMIC SOCIETY OF ARLINGTON, APPELLEES TEXAS, ISLAMIC CENTER OF IRVING, DFW ISLAMIC EDUCATIONAL CENTER, INC., DAR ELSALAM ISLAMIC CENTER, AL HEDAYAH ISLAMIC CENTER, ISLAMIC ASSOCIATION OF TARRANT COUNTY, AND MUSLIM AMERICAN SOCIETY OF DALLAS ------------ FROM THE 153RD DISTRICT COURT OF TARRANT COUNTY ------------ OPINION ------------ Introduction Appellant Joe Kaufman appeals the trial court’s denial of his traditional motion for summary judgment against appellees Islamic Society of Arlington, Texas; Islamic Center of Irving; DFW Islamic Educational Center, Inc.; Dar Elsalam Islamic Center; Al Hedayah Islamic Center; Islamic Association of Tarrant County; and Muslim American Society of Dallas.1 Appellees move to dismiss the appeal. We deny appellees’ motion to dismiss, we reverse the trial court’s denial of Kaufman’s summary judgment motion, and we render judgment for Kaufman. Background Facts In 2007, the Islamic Circle of North America [ICNA] Dallas, along with “all DFW Masajid2 and Islamic Centers,” (as stated in a promotional flyer) sponsored Muslim Family Day at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington. Six Flags scheduled the event for October 14, 2007. The flyer for the event stated that tickets could be purchased from appellees Islamic Society of Arlington, Texas and Islamic Center of Irving, among other groups. 1… The introductory portion of Kaufman’s brief signals that he is raising eleven issues; however, the listed issues do not directly correspond to portions of Kaufman’s brief, and the issues all relate to various aspects of the propriety of the trial court’s summary judgment decision.
