Ramadan is a sacred month for Muslims, during which they fast from dawn to sunset for 30 days.

To facilitate this event, we kindly request to reserve the East Hall and one classroom. We will be hosting this dinner potluck style; therefore, food will be provided by the attendees. Additionally, all cleanup responsibilities will be handled by our board members. We will bring extra trash bags and ensure the space is left in the same condition as we found it. We recently hosted a similar event on Friday, March 7th, which ran smoothly. Given our experience, we anticipate this event will be just as successful.
