Join us for a social gathering coinciding with the special month of Ramadan. We're coming together for a potluck dinner (Iftar): each person brings food that we'll all share together. And of course, Muslims as well as non-Muslims are equally welcome.
We will meet at the GZ HĂśngg community center. The description will soon be updated to include the total cost for reserving the venue, which we'll split across everyone attending.
We look forward to seeing you. Please reach out to any of the organizers if you have any questions.
