Iftaar and fundraising at ISGKC on the night of 27th Ramadan
As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuh,
Ramadan Mubarak! Keeping with the practice of past several years, the Bangladeshi Muslims are once again organizing an Iftaar-&-Dinner at the Islamic Society of Greater Kansas City (ISGKC Masajid at 8501 E 99th Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64134) on the night of 27th Ramadan (Liylatul Qadr), which is on Friday, August 26th. The dinner will be followed by a fundraising event to support ISGKC. Last year, we helped to collect $76K in a similar event. This year, we expect to raise significantly more money to support major ISGKC initiatives including Masajid expansion, community center kitchen modernization, funeral facility upgrade, and repayment of parking lot improvement loan. Please mark your calendar and join us on the night of Liylatul Qadr at ISGKC, insha'allah.
We are asking you for a contribution of $50 or more (by check*) towards the expenses for arranging the Iftaar-&-Dinner for 400+ attendees and the fundraising event. Additionally, please consider donating generously towards the fundraising.
Why ISGKC? ISGKC uniquely serves the community in many different ways as a central organization and deserves our full support. To name a few, ISGKC provides leadership in all Muslim affairs in this region, facilitates Eid prayers, Friday prayers, and daily prayers, provides full-service Islamic funeral services, and runs an accredited full-time Islamic school.
Let us take pride as Bangladeshi Muslims by being examples to others through active participation in the community. Ramadan is about giving; let us demonstrate that we care by giving back to our Muslim community. Volunteers will soon be contacting you to facilitate your donations. You can also send your check to one of the persons listed below. If you would like to volunteer in making phone calls and/or during the event, please let us know too. Please feel free to forward this e-mail to all Bangladeshi Muslims near and far. We are counting on you for this noble cause!!
May Allah Sub'hanu'wata'la forgive us, accept our good deeds, and accept us among HIS true servants during the month of Ramadan.

Iftaar and Taraweeh Prayers at ICK
Assalamu-alaikum and Ramadan Mubarak.
The first day of Ramadan is Monday August 1st, inshallah (as decided by www.fiqhcouncil.org and accepted by ICK and ISGKC and most other masajid in the USA)

These young boys are inspiration to the young people and we had the opportunity to listen to their wonderful recitation at ICK a few weeks back along with their parents.
Iftar will be provided to the community at no cost on Fridays and Sundays.
Tents will be available if you wish to host your own iftaars at ICK.

Fahim Ahmed leaving KC for Research Fellow Opportunity at Clorox
Dear Friends,
ASA and Happy New Year! As many of you may know that I have been contemplating retirement for some time, but it dragged on. Finally, I set the March 1 this year for the finale! But some great thing happened over the holiday break. You will be happy to learn as I am that I have been offered a life time career opportunity at Clorox R&D to head up The Global Laundry Product Technology as Research Fellow; it is the highest technical position in the company and this high level position also carries whole lot more responsibilities, deliverables and a few more greens (twice of my current compensation). My life long work experiences in innovative product development & commercialization; product inventions credited by some sixty patents have now paid off big time!
This top level R&D position was to be located at The Clorox Technical Center at Pleasanton, CA (Corporate Office in Oakland in the bay area of San Francisco) but I have negotiated my work location at a satellite R&D center in Atlanta with frequent trips to CA. Clorox is a huge consumer packaged products conglomerate with broad portfolio almost synonymous with chlorine bleach line of products and $6 billion sales. Very soon hopefully, I will be out of this cold climate in Kansas City and working out of Atlanta, much closer to my Greensboro, NC home and weekly commuting distance. We wil miss the freindship of fellow KC deshi. Please forgive us, pray for us and wish us good luck. This is most likely the last adventure of my professional life.
Best Regards,
Fahim Ahmed, Ph.D.
