Assalamu alykum all,
Due to the poor attendance on our March staff meeting last Saturday, I'm calling for an emergency meeting this Friday, April 4th at 6:00 pm.
Our main focus will be discussing the MAS-YC upcoming annual fundraiser on Saturday, April 26.
This meeting is to take place about 3 weeks before the date of the fundraiser and we need to show Allah our best efforts in campaigning for such important event' however, I urge all of you not to wait until Friday and to go to the main office from tomorrow to pick up as many tickets as possible to sell from sister Fatmeh, our center's operational manager, (Ticket price is $100).
Currently, our budget is relying mainly on fundraisers to support all basic needs of the center as the income generated from our regular programs isn't enough to pay our staff salaries, monthly bills, youth and other committees' event expenses and the cost of quality improvements.
I said before that we need to bring our center back to the 21st century by maintaining our current activities, expanding our programs and improving the level of both services and communications; in order to achieve such goals, we need to work hard starting from today to achieve these goals. Imagine if you own a business, would you set relaxed waiting for your business to improve or work hard to make sure it grows and succeeds? Our business here is with ALLAH Subhanuh w'Taala, then what we need to do is:
TO SHOW ALLAH THE BEST OF OURSELVES
Jazzakum Allah khayran in advance for attending on time.
Please confirm receiving the message and your availability.
Please note: Your attendance is of highest importance and all to be excused by myself in private only in cases of extreme emergency.
