Subject: Haiti Relief - Update
Assalam Alaykum Momineen & Mominaat,
Over the upcoming weekend, we will be collecting donations towards this fund, and would like to request all community members to help in this cause.
Previously we stated that all proceeds would be given to the American Red Cross on behalf of IMF. However, it has come to our attention that there are several momineen in Haiti who have also been affected. As a result, donations will be given to World Federation who have set up a mission to help our brothers and sisters in need. Please see the following article for reference:

All donations (cash or checks) can be handed over to one of the IMF Executive Committee members. Should you choose to write a check, please make your checks payable to IMFNE and note "Haiti Relief Fund" in the memo.
was-salaam,
IMF Executive Committee.
