Weekly FVAMC Update: 4/13/2020
Ramadan is almost upon us and while we will miss seeing you all in person, we have some really great activities and programs in place to help keep us connected as a community during our holy month of Ramadan, inshallah.
 
Daily Dose of Duaa and Dates
This Ramadan we would love for you to join us for a Daily Dose of Duaa and Dates with our very own Brother Safwan. Everyday inshallah during the month of Ramadan, you can tune into Daily Dose of Duaa and Dates on our FB channel where Brother Safwan will share inspiring content, duaa, break his fast virtually by eating dates with us and doing Athan so that we can then all go pray with our families and have our iftar. We hope you can join us daily inshallah!
 
Virtual Taraweeh

Details to come soon, but Br. Safwan has kindly agreed to live stream his Taraweeh prayers every night for those of you who would like to listen in. Of course we urge you all to pray with your families at home, Jazakum Allah Khair.
RAMADAN FUNDRAISER
We have very exciting news to share with you, we are close to paying off our building and NOW it’s time to make some of those much needed fixes and updates that we have all waited for. Based on your feedback and direction from our Board of Trustees, we have prioritized the following for our first phase of improvements:

1)        Update the men and women bathrooms and add separate designated wudu areas for each. More details to come soon, but we are very excited as this has been a pain point for many of our members, and we have appreciated your patience.
2)        Hire a full time Administrator and Imam for our Center – As our community and children continue to grow and evolve, so do our programs and offerings. In order to do this, we need a full-time person dedicated to these efforts, programs and offerings. 

In order to accomplish the above, we will need to raise $100K this Ramadan. We need every single one of you to help us out!
We have two ways you can help:
 
1)    Go Fund Me Ramadan Challenge: $10 per person, per day for 30 days
(details to come)
2)    Virtual Fundraiser Event will be held on May 8, 2020 (details to come)
