My name is Beatrice Sabir, a member of Masjid Morsi Khalifa for, well actually my membership round and about is about 62 years.
It gives me great pleasure to be able to say a few words about that building.
It's emotional.
It's...
It's really all that you would want it to be as a Muslim.
We have great leadership.
Brother Imam allow us to do what we want as long as it's right.
I've been there for many years as the dietician, the cook, and whatever it takes to nourish our children.
Today we have the same children out of that school, Val Dictor.
and salutatoriums of not just high school graduates, but of colleges as well, renowned colleges.
So I just want to say that whatever it takes from the council to help us to maintain or not to maintain to get our new building, that we look for your input and we look for your encouragement.
And I just want to say that, brother, ma'am, continue the good work, and we are here for your support.
