Clarifications Regarding Eid AlAdha Prayer Planning:

Over the last few days, the SCV Muslim community has been subjected to misinformation regarding arrangements for the upcoming Eid Aladha prayer arrangements. And as such we want to share with everyone the straight facts:

The three Masajid have a standing Eid committee which has the responsibility of planning and coordinating for Eid Prayers.
The committee started holding regular meeting shortly after the last Eid Prayer.
The last meeting was held over a week ago, and during the meeting, the committee deliberated on what to do since the traditional venues (Canyon Country Community Center, Santa Clarita Activities Center, Hyatt Hotel, Central Park, & SCV Senior Citizens Center) are not available. The committee agreed to focus on looking for a venue at local schools, and if no schools are available, each Masjid will proceed with arranging a minimum of two prayers at its facility, and the three Masjid will jointly publicize the prayers.
Earlier this week, members of the Eid committee were contacted by some individuals saying that they have reserved the main gymnasium at Valencia High School and have a plan to offer Eid Prayer there.
Boards of Unity Center & Al-Umma Center considered the proposal and voted not to go along with it, due to legal ramifications and to avoid precedent settings of having joint Masajid events organized by outside groups.
At Al-Umma Center, were firmly committed to having events jointly sponsored by the local Masjid, and will do everything we can to ensure such events success. However, if such option is not available, we're prepared to hold the upcoming Eid Prayer at our Masjid.
