<h3>Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam:</h3>
<p>We are proud to present our first issue of the
Islamic Bulletin. There is a great need for Islamic information in the San
Francisco Bay Area.</p>
<p>With everything happening in the world today,
we need to be constantly reminded about the importance of religion. Each
issue of the Islamic Bulletin will include religious articles, Islamic events,
letters to the editor, news, and other features. We will also include a game
or activity for the children. Our next issue will of course cover the month
of Ramadan.</p>
<p>The group of writers for the Islamic Bulletin
voluntarily gather to write the articles and will include sections from the
Hadith and the Qur'an. If any person would like to submit his/her article
for publication, please send it to: Letters to the Editor, P.O. Box 410186,
San Francisco, CA 94141-0186. We welcome all religious articles and information
on upcoming Islamic events in the San Francisco Bay Area.</p>
<p>We also welcome letters to the editor and suggestions
and/or comments on how to make the Islamic Bulletin a better publication.</p>
<p>The Islamic Bulletin is distributed free to
members of the Islamic Center of San Francisco. We welcome new members and
participation in the Masjid is greatly encouraged. The Islamic Center offers
two types of memberships, an Individual Membership for a fee of $10.00 or
a Family Membership for a fee of $20.00. The Individual Membership entitles
a single voting right and the Family Membership entitles two voting rights.
Please make checks payable to The Islamic Center of San Francisco, Membership
Department, 400 Crescent Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94110.</p>
