 Our next proclamation item 6.2 is recognizing the San Ramon Valley Islamic Center and the San Ramon American Muslim community for the contributions of American Muslims to the San Ramon community. Is Sobia here? I pronounced that right, Sobia? And you brought with you your vice president, is it Deeson? Okay, and Nadia, that was a tough one to figure out. Please join me up here. We have a proclamation for you. Recognizing San Ramon Valley Islamic Center and the San Ramon American Muslim community for their contributions to the San Ramon community. Where San Ramon is home to the San Ramon Valley Islamic Center is dedicated to curbing the spiritual needs of San Ramon Muslim community and promoting interfaith cooperation by providing an environment for dialogue, education, and dialogue. And where the SRVIC has provided many volunteer services to the general community, including the non-meditative support. Partnering with the International Refuge Committee to support newly arriving refugees to the Bay Area can help with a partner-set-up for families. That has got to be a job that's sell. Partnering, I'm sorry, back in and distributing 100,000 pounds of food, samples, and masks at First Community in the Bay Area through their You Are Not Alone Program, the Partnership, WIP, Sports Life Foundation, and other Bay Area. Fostering the SRVIC Plus Drive to the American Red Cross. Being one of the largest donors to the Comfort Costa Food Bank donated $25,000 to $30,000 every year. In addition to the estimated $150,000 donated to community members in need. Maintaining a section of Highway 680 Thought Bound as part of the Adopt-A-Highway Program. Whereas Muslims have been part of the U.S. history from the beginning, they have contributed to the production of wealth and construction of the nation. They are also part of the rich history of the civil rights. And whereas almost 10,000 Muslims reside in Bogota County. And again, noble concrete is the cultural, political, and economic fabric and well-being of California and the United States. Now whereas American Muslims are teachers, lawyers, doctors, social workers, tech workers, businesses, and business owners among numerous other value professionals. As well as key-filtered activists, entrepreneurs, and employees. Now whereas the California State of America has recognized the Muslim life, what's going to it? American Muslims are creating an awareness. And whereas it is appropriate to acknowledge and promote awareness of the millions of radicals on the beat of American Muslims in California. And for us, the country extended them to respect and congregate every on their needs. Now there are four vehicles all the way. The City Council and the City of San Ramon does hear Michael's voice. It appreciates the efforts of the San Ramon Valley, Yvonne Center, and the American Muslim community. A contribution to the San Ramon community. Thank you for the lasting positive impact. They have made the work of the Council and the City of San Ramon. Thank you so much. All right. I'm doing it right now. We want to speak to the cameras that keep going. I'll let you hold this. And who wants to be the first speaker? Okay, take 40 minutes. In the name of the most beneficent and most merciful, Mayor Hudson, Council Member, thank you for honoring the American Muslims of San Ramon with the proclamation for the recognition of the American Muslim Month. The San Ramon Valley Islamic Center was set up more than 25 years ago, and our members have been a vibrant part of this community. At our center, we have witnessed a generation of American Muslims grew up, go to school, work, and eventually returning here to grow their families. In the past year, San Ramon Valley Islamic Center helped blood thrive with the American Red Cross as one of the largest donor to the Contra Costa Food Bank during our Ramadan Food Drive. Also, our community members are also part of the Community Highway Cleanup Program. In the last year, the San Ramon Valley Islamic Center, together with other community organizations in San Ramon, rallied more than $100,000 of resources to help the displaced people from Afghanistan. The center also received a $50,000 grant from WelcomeUSA towards our refugee relief effort, and we were one of the 30 organizations across the whole United States to have received that grant. So once again, we thank you for the proclamation, and we wish everyone a good evening. Did you want to speak? No, you have to introduce yourself. Well, I just want to say thank you for everything you do in the community, and especially, you know, I've been part of some of the food drives and the things we do. And particularly during Ramadan, when we are not eating as Muslims and being able to distribute that food. So I appreciate everything you've done in the community, and thank you ladies for serving on the board there. Well, I also want to thank you very much for all the work you do, and I know you do a lot in terms of particularly welcoming people from overseas and your food drives, and we thank you very much. You know, you used to, we used to be across the street from you, you know, our city hall was across the street, and so it was always such a good relationship there. We've moved over here, but thankfully we still have a good relationship. So thank you very much for what you do. Mark? Yeah, thank you very much for all your contributions, the sponsorships and the food drives and the distribution, Red Cross support, and it's all just fantastic. You know, faith is such an important aspect of our community, and I just want to thank you and the Muslim community for all they've done for their contributions for our community. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks for all your services. If I remember right, you also provide auto donations, right, to help the families at MCA, because when I was looking at my used car donations, so one of the things I reviewed and I felt the best place to donate is to MCA, so I donated my car to MCA at that time. So not very much, right? So yeah, so thanks. I know the services that you do is fantastic, and especially the interfaith, that plays a key role to keep our community safe, and especially this is definitely an important day for me, the timing of what happened in Albuquerque. So that's not acceptable in any community, especially in our nation. So it's very sad that these things are happening, and it's good that we are recognizing your contributions, and you're always welcome to let us know if how we can help you and make it much better. Thank you. Yeah. Along the same line, my neighbor used to be over, would always invite me over. I heard actually at one of these meetings, like that he passed away, Abed Farooq and Amir, I know is there, and it's one of those things to highlight on what you just heard from Shridhar. Once you become neighbors, mostly other stuff sort of fades away, but then there's that moment that comes up that something just that should not happen. I'm amazed right now, and you hit on it, and I wanted to highlight this, how many calls I get about visas coming out of Afghanistan, that people are still trying to get out to Jikistan or somewhere to get over here. And I almost want to tell them why don't you just go to Mexico and walk across the border, everybody else is, but it's not funny. I mean, these people are trapped there and fear their lives. So I don't know what can be done. We've tried going back through congressmen. We're kind of in between two congressmen right now. But I know it's something that just can't stop because there's still a lot of people there that want to get out, and that program that you have, helping these people get reacquainted into our community, or get acquainted into our community is much needed. So I can't thank you enough. Any last words you'd like to say? Is he going to give a speech or is he just going to hide over there? You want to come up and say something? Just to make sure that we're all here for each other. Yes. I'll just say something quick. It's an honor being part of this community and always coming here, always feels home. I mean, this is a good city that's open, minded, that's receptive to our religions, and we're really happy to be a part of it. That's kind of the sum of it. Yes. Thank you so much. And please stay with it. There's still a lot of work on those visas.
