The Islamic Society of Orange County organized a special fundraising Iftar and dinner on Sunday, September 30th, 2007.
The dinner was held at the Knott’s Berry Resort Hotel in Buena Park.
This annual event brings the community together during the blessed month of Ramadan. The event was attended by a large number of Muslim Americans of Southern California and the attendees donated generously for the expansion project of Orange Crescent School and Masjid Al-Rahman.
The number of guests approximated 500. The speakers, Javed Nawaz, Dr. Muzamil Siddiqui, and others emphasized many issues during the event. Among them was the important role that ISOC plays in Orange County and around the country as well as the need to strengthen the center by financial support.
A letter of Appreciation was sent by the city of Garden Grove on the 25th anniversary of ISOC. The letter was read during the event by the ex-chairman of the Majlis-e-Shura and a founding member Brother Najjar.
The event concluded on a positive note with a manifest feeling of progress and unity among the American Muslim community of Orange County.
