As many of you know, we're in the process of applying for a use permit for LGIC that will allow us to pray Fajr, Isha, and Taraweeh at the masjid. It is crucial that we all know and follow the Traffic and Safety Guidelines, especially during Ramadan. Failure to adhere to these guidelines will jeopardize our ability to continue to pray at and benefit from the Los Gatos Islamic Center. Please take a moment to look over the guidelines and share them with your family and friends as well.
