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.
