 Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, and alhamdulillahir Rahmanir Raheem. Allahumma salli ala sayyid, Muhammad ba'ala wa sallam. Welcome to this latest update on MCC construction. We did an update about a month and a half ago, and we're right now in the last 10 days of Ramadan, the Ramadan Qareem, and all of you have a very blessed last 10 days. We're going to give you a detailed update on construction. When I say we, I say you and myself, I'll cover a little bit of the higher level and then say I will go into some of the details of the construction plan and how we plan to get from here to there. So before we start, we should show you our vision statement. This hasn't really changed since, I would say, going back to 2007. So I'm not going to go through the details. The reason I put this up, this is a good way to think about the language we use is sort of the dot on the wall. That is to say, what are we at MCC trying to aim for? So that's our vision. I actually want to go a little more detail on our strategic priorities. Again, most of these have not changed, but there are a handful that have sort of come and risen to the top. And a good way of thinking about this is post COVID. We've seen just a great amount of growth here at MCC itself and also the environment in which we all live has changed. And specifically, I mean, the entire, as an example, the entire gender thing that's caused many, many of us to want to have more control over education. So here are our strategic priorities. I won't go through all of them. I actually want to just highlight the ones on the left-hand side that have to do with, if you see the first one, it's K through 5. We've actually, K through 5 has been on our list since we put our bylaws together, going back where we first founded MCC. But what you'll see there is because of the growth, another priority we've raised is not just having Sunday School but also having a Saturday School. As we go through our presentation today, we'll give you a sense of how we're going to approach that. And then the last one here to talk about as new is a really, really important one, and it came to focus last year and last summer when we were trying to get the land purchased. So we decided not to, but we realized the critical need of really, really having a middle school and a high school available for our community. So, inshallah, that is now on our list of priorities. We don't have a date yet. Obviously, we're going to start looking at what the requirements are, look at what properties are available, and start that process. But it will take a long time. With that, let me kick off our MCC, what we're calling MCC 3.0. If you think about 3.0, 1.0 had to do with, when we just founded MCC, 2.0 had to do with being in this building. And 3.0 has to do with what we're going to be doing and specifically accelerating our growth. And we've been in hyper incremental mode, and what we need to do is move forward to go into a hyper growth mode so that we can have this facility completely redone for future needs. So with that, in the past year or two, we've been talking about our construction plans. So we have now more detail. And before I go into this, I think it is fair to say, particularly when you talk about, by the way, we've broken this down into package 1, 2, and 3, and say that we'll talk about the specific reasons why these are called package 1, 2, and 3 in a bit. But package 1 has to do with everything we want to do on the outside. And that, as we've told you, I think for two years now, has been a picnic area, a trellis, barbecue, a basketball court, a parkour outside with the stations, children's play structure, a play field, and then the parking lot gets re-changed and we have some EV stations coming. Package 2, which will be after package 1, these are sequential, will be everything we're doing in the building inside. Now, the really, really important thing about this that we haven't really emphasized is we're actually going to build a second story. And the second story will be a little bit about where the ladies' area begins and all the way back from there. The second story is adding 1,400,000 square feet and it allows us to have both a Saturday at Sunday School and also administrative offices up there and so forth. With that, you free up the place downstairs. You get additional conference rooms. We have space for both male and female lounges, along with a sort of gym incorporated, a parent-child room with a specific area for kids to play in, a library, senior lounge, and the main prayer area gets redone, sitting gets raised, a member sort of gets put in place. And then last but not least is Package 3, which has everything to do with food. The dining, the dining if you will, so that specifically means a dining hall and it means a cafe, both a covered aspect, un-covered aspect, and then a patio. So those are the packages. And before I ask that you have had to get up and talk about how we actually construct these, I do want to say it's taken us much longer than we expected. Our expectations and the expectations we set for you were that by the end of last year we would have this done. So my apologies on behalf of everybody here at MCC and something myself. We should have done a better job communicating. There's all the steps we need to go through to get there. Having said that, I feel really good where we are today and Brother Sayyid is going to get up and give us the process from here going forward. Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah. Thank you Brother Parvez for the brief introduction to the slides. I'm going to walk you through the rest of the process for construction and where we are today. The slide that you see, that's on the screen, the package one, package two, and package three. The construction project itself is pretty large, to say the least, and we decided to break it up into packages as you see one, two, and three. Part of the reason, I should say maybe most of the reason was to have these packages in such form so we are able to get the approvals through the Hacienda Association as well as the city in a normal and a sequential manner such that one package does not hold back any of the other packages. If there is a problem of one package being delayed, this allows us to move forward with the other packages being worked on in parallel. What you see on the left-hand side on the slide, the CUP modification. By the way, CUP stands for Conditional Use Permit, which is granted by the city, and we operate MCC under Conditional Use Permit. Some of the changes that we are doing today may require a CUP modification, which we are very, I should say, working hard to avoid because that just adds delay to the whole process. You have to go back to the city. It may require public hearings and all that, and of course the delay associated with all the added requirements. As you can see, package one has, we are not required to have the CUP modification. And owner's association has approved package one, and we are in the second round of our approvals with the city. In other two weeks, we are expecting a response on our second round. As you can see, we have taken the liberty to start some construction for this package, and mostly we have done the stuff which does not require any city approvals or inspections, like the cleanup and putting in some pavers, opening up some additional doors in the lobby that you see recently. Package two, CEP not required, association approval in hand, and we are planning to apply for this approval with the city, the week of April 8th. And again, we have not started the construction on this yet because all this work requires city inspections, and we cannot start without a permit in hand. Package three, we have not heard back from the city yet as to a CUP modification is required or not, but we do have a verbal approval from the association. We are hoping to apply with the city the week of April 15th, and again, the construction on this has not started. A conversation I had with our structural engineer who works out of his home office in Idaho, he was here on a visit to the site to come up with the design, he wanted to look at the actual building before he dived into the design for the second story addition. He asked, he wanted to add some rooms to his home, to his farm in Idaho, he went to the county and asked for permission, and the county said, you know, it's your home, you can do whatever you want to do with it. I hope we wish we were in that situation, but we do have codes and rules and regulations to follow, and they are there for a good reason, I'm sure, and so here we are, we don't have that luxury to be able to do that. Anyway, so that's where we are today. As you can also see, we have put some numbers for the approximate costs. Each package, the package one is around 500K, and this is most of the stuff outside. We are hoping and we are trying to get this done by the fall of this year. Since we are in round two with the city approvals and we have also started to do some construction. The package two is we are hoping to start this fall, hoping to have all the approvals in hand be able to start, and this is the large ticket item, it's 1.6 million plus, and then of course the same goes for package three, which we have not started yet. These are just visuals of rendering, visual renderings of what the MCC would look like after we add the second floor. It's also a requirement by the city and the association that we produce these renderings so they can have a visual sense of what the building is going to look like. With that, I'd like to hand it back over to Brother Parvez to continue with the rest of the presentation. Thank you very much. Say goodbye, thank you so much. We're going to move on to financials, and I want to step back and talk about what we've raised, how much we've raised and how much we've spent. First of all, not just now, but if you look back the last five years, this is beginning with COVID, actually the year before COVID, 2019 through now, we've raised about $900,000 plus, and on the right hand side of this slide, you can see where that money has been spent. A lot of that money actually has been spent in the last year, and if you look at the top line, the roof changes we made, because it was leaking before, the HVAC that we put in, the parking lot changes, fire alarm, etc., the consulting, the maintenance, that by itself, the stuff you don't see is about almost 50%, because part of the thing is in the lobby also that you don't see, which has to do with the HVAC ducting that we've done, the electrical, the metal cheating, etc. If you add all that up, more than 50% is stuff you don't see, and then there's all the stuff that you see at the bottom here on the right hand side. Now if this is how much was spent, the question then is how much have you raised and how much you have to do what you say you're going to do? So construction funds available, if you look at the bottom chart here, this is donations by year, and if you notice last year, 2023, we really did not ask for money for building, and we did not for the construction fund, and we did not because frankly we had raised some money, and we didn't deliver to what we thought we were going to deliver to. So in the past five years we've raised about $800,000. You may ask how do we spend $900,000 if we only raised $800,000, and that has really to do with two things, how much do we have money beforehand, and then also some of the rental income we get also goes to fund mostly the building fund and sometimes also the operations fund. So do we feel better? I think the question is we're behind, why do you think you can actually get this done inshallah by fall or by the end of this year? I've talked about package one which is all the outside stuff. There are three things that are really required to get this done. One is you've got to know exactly what you have to get done. Two is you've got to have people who actually can get the work done. Three you need permits, and four you need the dollars. Three are those four we have. The permit process is well along for the outside, and inshallah, inshallah, please make the offer this, that in this next round with the city they approve the outside, and then we have, here's the important point, we have $550,000 available, and we think we may need about $500, we have $550,000 available to get the first, to get phase one, package one done. And remember package one is all the stuff we talked about outside, and particularly the basketball court which I think there's a lot of demand for the youth. Now stepping back, what Saidvai just said is well that's package one, we still have quite a lot to do in package two, and package three. For package two we're going to need plus or minus $1.6 to $1.7 million. And what we don't want to do is get through package one, have no money, and wait to raise money, and raise a bit of money, and then say we're going to start package two. So our objective is, inshallah, to raise and have at least $200,000 now, and before we start, and then in the fall we'll do another major fundraiser. Our objective is since we are in Ramadan, we'd like to ask you, alhamdulillah, since we're going to be raising money later this year, please give some money now. It will make us feel a lot more comfortable that we have money at hand before we start the next phase. That's all for our quick update here. Inshallah, you'll see some progress this fall. I have everything here done outside, and we can start then working towards package two and package three. The laws of course are all requested, and I want to thank Saidvai, and the entire team, Saidvai does this pro bono, completely pro bono, and has been doing incredible work with him and his team, and that's the people who do the construction work and a whole bunch of volunteers as you know, the MCC, we're very, very thankful. We're also thankful to you for your patience and your trust in us, and inshallah we'll make this a fantastic place for our youth, and inshallah for our seniors also, and for everybody. Jazakumullah.
