Ramadan Iftars

The Holy month of Ramadan, which is starting on June 18th this year, is a very special time for Muslims. During this 29 – 30 day period, Muslims fast from dawn to dusk after which time the fast is broken with a feast called ‘Iftar’.

We have set aside a few nights that month to share Ramadan with our special friends and were hoping you and your family, colleagues and their families from your office could join us for Iftar at Pacifica Institute, 1257 Tasman Drive, Suite B, Sunnyvale.

Dinner is served at sunset which is around 8:30 PM during the summer. The dates we’ve chosen are:

  •           Tuesday, June 23rd
  •           Tuesday, June 30th
  •           Tuesday, July 7th
  •           Tuesday, July 14th

Please let us know as soon as possible which of these dates works best and how many people will be joining us.  Please RSVP at:  http://pacificasv.org/rsvp

A Blessed Ramadan!
