1.) The whole community is invited to the community iftar and annual fund raising on Saturday, September 4th. Please mark your calendars for this big event. The iftar will be held in an outside location (not in the masjid). Please sign-up for the dinner on the sign-up sheet placed both in men’s and women’s prayer hall, by Monday August 30. Only the community members who sign-up will receive details regarding the fundraiser (by e-mail).

2.) Registration is still open without any late fees until the first day of classes (Sunday, August 29th).

3.) We will have a parent-principal meeting in the next two weeks to discuss issues related to the Islamic school such as how to improve and better serve and educate our children, the exact date will be announced later. We are also introducing the “Arabic to learn Quran” subject this semester, more changes are yet to come in the spring semester including the curriculum and school hours.

4.) This is the time for the members of ISGL to renew their annual membership. New members in the community are also requested to be part of ISGL. Membership forms are placed in the small prayer hall on men’s side. Please put the completed forms in the donation box. Electronic forms can also be downloaded from the ISGL website and submitted via e-mail.

5.) InshaAllah we are going to have our third community iftar in the Masjid on Saturday, tomorrow. This iftar is already funded but we need help from families in cooking, we’ll provide meat and ingredients, inshaAllah. Families are requested to contact brother Ibrahim to get their share for cooking. Community iftars are a means for all community members to gather, socialize and eat together, please support these events so that we can continue this good tradition.

6.) The ISGL is continuing its tradition of providing iftar to singles and students (brothers and sisters) in the community from Monday - Friday during Ramadan in shaa Allah. In order to ensure the success of this program, your generous donations are requested. Please place donations in the specially-marked black box in the small prayer hall.

7.) Any community member who would like to sponsor/bring food for the daily singles iftar is kindly requested to talk to either Br. Aurangzab or Br. Haroon Mohammad.

8.) The Masjid is having taraweeh prayer every night in Ramadan in shaa Allah. All community members are kindly requested to observe the parking rules for the Masjid. Please leave the parking spots around the Masjid for elderly and community members with health disabilities. We will have a zero tolerance policy for violators (meaning all cars will be towed at the owner's expense).  Free parking is available after 5 PM in the Purdue University garages (including the one on University Street).

9.) Parents, the masjid is offering a babysitting service for children ages 4-10 every night during Taraweeh prayer. If you bring your child to the masjid, he/she must either stand for prayer, read Qur'an silently, or be in the babysitting area. Your cooperation in ensuring this Ramadan is an enjoyable experience for all community members is greatly appreciated.

10.) Volunteers are needed for painting on gazebo. We will inshaAllah be working on it on Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 AM onward.

11.) The ISGL and MSA are preparing small goody bags as gifts for the children in the community for Eid-ul-Fitr. We would appreciate if parents could register their children (registration is free) to ensure each child receives a bag. Please put the name of the child, his/her age, and gender on the white notecards available in the small prayer hall (for brothers) and the sisters prayer hall and drop the completed notecards in the specially marked glass container by September 3 (next Friday).

12.) The ISGL Youth Group will be kicking off its Fall 2010 program next Friday (September 3, 2010). The event will be itikha'f in the masjid.
