Ramadan Fundraiser Iftar - Expansion updates & Phase 1
Dear MAS SI Community Members,
You are cordially invited to our Ramadan Fundraising Iftar this upcoming Ramadan. With our trust in Allah (swt) and your continuous support, we are very excited to share with you the upcoming phase of our expansion project.
As part of the Iftar, we will discuss our accomplishments and the upcoming steps in the journey to a state-of-art Islamic center in Staten Island. Some of the updates that will be covered in more details at the event:
• Approval to demolish our neighboring property at 170 Burgher Avenue, Staten Island.
• Based on many consultations with architects we found a way to construct the new center in phases, which means we won’t need to move out of our current location.
• We conducted a community town-hall meeting to integrate community requirements and wish-list into the layout of the new center. Some of these included a multi-purpose basketball/gymnasium, a comfortable prayer space for brothers and sisters, and possibly a café, library, lounge, etc.
• We will share the updated preliminary design.
• We have secured a loan of $500K for building and our current fundraising goal is $400,000, which will give us enough to initiate the first phase of construction.
