Ramadan Community Potluck Iftar | Sat, Mar 23, 6:30-8 PM (all members of the College are invited)

Muslim Chaplain Sidra Mahmood invites Williams College faculty, staff, spouses/partners, families, children of all ages, and students who are around during Spring Break to join the Muslim community over iftar, the sunset meal when Muslims deliver their fast to the Divine in Ramadan*.

Bring a salad, appetizer, entrée, desert, fruit or non-alcoholic drink with your own serving spoons. Please note that Muslims can only consume halal meats which are not readily available in the Berkshires. Seafood and vegetarian/vegan options are the safest if you are unable to get halal meat. Please label allergens such as dairy and nuts.

Please email Muslim Chaplain Sidra Mahmood at sm45​@williams​.edu if you are able to help out to clean-up after the event between 8-8:30PM.
