What do they all have in common?

Well the first 2 were our big events for the previous 2 classes we had (SS40 and TSP). They are believed to be the reason we had the numbers we did at those classes.

For SS40 in July, we attended the ICNA Convention in CT. There were an estimated 13,000 people in attendance, the majority of which come from the NY/NJ areas. We had a booth, we had an announcement made right after a YQ speech at a Youth Conference session, where the attendance was close to around 1,500. Before ICNA, our registration/paid was at about 250/100. I believe this was one weekend before the class. The final numbers for the class were close to 600 registered and 471 in attendance. Our largest ever! And the largest for any Qabeelah in the U.S.

Forward to our next class after that, TSP which was held in October. The numbers were lacking big time for this class. We were at about 100 registered with a few paid right before Eid at Six Flags. This event was also just one week before the class. Most volunteers had lost hope (come on..you know you did:) but come class time we had close to or over 300 registered and about 250 in class. That’s not a whole lot, but still one of the largest double weekend class attendance we’ve had.

And now, Precious Provisions. We’re at about 200/118. (more…)
