Hi Neighbors!
Ramadan is a perfect time to strengthen our neighborhood bonds! How about we gather for a potluck Iftar on Saturday, April 16th?
We plan to set up tables in the cul-de-sac (we’ve already gotten permission from the HOA). Sunset is around 7:45 PM, so we’ll start setting up at 7:00 PM.
Here’s how it will work: • Each household brings one dish to share (enough for about 5-6 people) • Our family will provide dates, water, and paper goods • The Ahmads are bringing folding tables and chairs • The Patels will set up some lights
Please reply with what dish you plan to bring so we don’t end up with 10 plates of the same thing! Also, let us know how many people from your household will attend.
If it rains, we’ll move the gathering to our garage (we’ll clear out the cars).
Looking forward to breaking bread with all of you!
