Volunteer yourself for MAF’s booth (Malaysian Food Bazaar)

Dear members,

MAF is participating in the upcoming Malaysian food bazaar by holding 2 drinks booths.

We are actively seeking volunteers among all our members/friends to help us as part of the organising team.

The volunteers will assist in setting up and decorating the booths, sales of drinks, distributing food coupons, cleaning up at the end of event, etc.

As a reminder, the event will be held on the 5th June 2016 (Sunday) at Rumah Malaysia – 48 Boulevard Suchet, 75016 Paris.

We hope to assemble 3 teams:

Team 1 : 4-5 helpers from 9h00 to12h00

Team 2 : 4-5 helpers from 12h00 to 15h00.

Team 3 : 4-5 helpers from 15h00 18h00.

There will be press food bloggers on that day to write about the event, please wear Malaysian traditional outfit if you have, this would be good for photos! 😉

All helpers will be provided with a packet of nasi lemak and unlimited tea and water, with best compliments from Maf.

Malaysian Food Bazaar

Dear all MAF members,

Malaysian Food Bazaar in Paris will be held at Rumah Malaysia in conjunction with our King’s Birthday. It is jointly organized by the Embassy of Malaysia, Perwakilan Paris and Malaysian Association in France (MAF).

The main objectives are to promote Malaysian food, and handicrafts as well as raise money for Muhibbah fund (channeled to Malaysians in need of humanitarian aid).

We also envision that this event will strengthen relationships between Malaysians and the locals.

This event is open to all and everyone is welcome. Food coupons can be had at €10.00 only.

Be sure to get some lucky draw tickets for €5 each. Contributions would help us grow the Muhibbah fund.

Join us. You’ll have a blast, get a taste of Malaysia, and contribute to bringing cheer to those in need. Save the date. Help us get the word out. Pass this along. Friends and friends in the making would sure be glad to know this is happening.

See you there.
