ICDM Will be Closed on September 24th and 25th 2011
AsSalamAlaikum brothers and sisters,
The Islamic Center of Des Moines will need to be closed this weekend due to construction. The spray insulation is going to be done on Saturday and Sunday in the new building, however the old building also needs to be closed for this process.
The masjid will be locked after Isha Friday until Fajr Monday. The women's room carpet will also be cleaned Friday night after Isha. The free clinic will not be operating on the Sep. 24th and Sunday School will also be closed on the Sep. 25th.
We are sorry for any inconvenience, however this is a necessary step in getting the new part of our building finished. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Zayba Hoda, on behalf of the Executive Board
