September Gathering: MPV in Oakland

Salaam, Community!
Join us for an evening of fellowship, food, and connection! Whether you’re new or a longtime member, you’re warmly welcome.
We’ll start gathering at 6:30 pm to mingle and greet newcomers, then pray Maghrib together.
Instead of a potluck, we’re bringing in delicious Persian food from Middle East Market in Berkeley — rice dishes, stews, salad, and sides, with both vegetarian and meat options. Everyone is welcome to eat, no contribution required.
If you’d like to help cover food and room rental costs, contributions can be made via Venmo. Any amount collected beyond expenses will go back into chapter funds for future gatherings.
After dinner, we’ll open space for a short discussion or a topical film, depending on group interest.
📍 Location: Starr King Room, First Unitarian Church of Oakland
📅 Date/Time: Friday, September 20th | 6:30–9:30 pm
🚇 Easy walk from 12th Street BART in downtown Oakland
Looking forward to seeing everyone — inshallah!
