The Muslim Legal Network (NSW), in conjunction with the Auburn Mosque Committee, take great pleasure in inviting the Judiciary, members of the legal profession and community members to Auburn Gallipoli Mosque to attend an Islamic service to mark the opening of the 2018 Law Term.

The service will be held from 6:15pm to 7:30pm on Thursday, 15 February 2018. Guests are requested to arrive at 6:00pm so that the service can commence on time. The mosque is located at the corner of Gelibolu Parade and Dartbrook Road, Auburn.

We would appreciate if you could indicate whether you will be attending, to assist us with making the appropriate arrangements. You may forward your rsvp to events@muslimlegalnetworknsw.com

The Auburn Mosque Committee has requested that the attendees kindly observe a modest dress code for the event: for example, we would be grateful if shoulders and knees were covered and high-necked shirts were worn.
