❄️ COLD WEATHER & SPACE NOTICE ❄️
The forecast predicts COLD this Friday. Please read the following important adjustments to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort:
• 🧘 BRING YOUR PRAYER MAT: Indoor space is strictly limited. Once the masjid reaches capacity, congregants WILL be required to pray outdoors. Bringing your own prayer mat is essential for those in the overflow areas.
• 🧥 DRESS WARMLY: Prepare accordingly for outdoor prayer by wearing heavy layers, winter coats, and gloves. It is expected to be very cold.
• 🚫 NO ON-SITE ACTIVITIES: Due to the extreme cold, there will be no other Eid activities, festivities, or social gatherings held on the premises on Friday. We encourage families to head to their next destination immediately following the Khutbah.
• 👮 FOLLOW VOLUNTEER & POLICE GUIDANCE: Local police officers and IOST volunteers will be directing traffic. Strictly follow their guidelines and directions to keep everything moving safely and efficiently.
