Dear sisters and brothers,

Assalamu alikum wa rahmatu Allah. May the peace, mercy, and blessings of God be with you.

NAMCC was again vandalized during the early morning of Thursday September 13, 2018. A fence was damaged and multiple vehicles had their tires slashed. The Austin Police were notified and we trust our brave men and women in uniform are doing all they can to apprehend the suspect.

Islam teaches us to be steadfast and persevering for peace and harmony. Even though some may harbor and sometimes express hate towards Islam and Muslims, we will continue to worship God and serve the Austin Community through our outreach programs, free clinic, and food pantry. We will continue to grow our services to benefit all of human-kind.

Please continue to share our campaign so that we can repair the masjid, provide security to the community, and continue to serve the City of Austin.

The comfort and security of our community is a top priority. If you have any questions, email the Imam: imam@namcc.org

Dear sisters and brothers,

Assalamu alikum wa rahmatu Allah. May the peace, mercy, and blessings of God be with you.

All praises are due to Allah. With the help of the Almighty we have made good progress on our planned security improvement since the day of the vandalism attack.

We've extended hours for on-site security personnel, now the security presence covers the period of 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM leaving no gap between night and morning prayer times.

Furthermore, installation is underway for two city street-size lamps to illuminate the unlit south side of the property along the fence. We're working directly with City of Austin on this.

Camera security systems professionals have surveyed the property, and created a fully integrated plan for the entire area; including 3 buildings, 2 parking lots, and the playground. This plan will take place in 4 stages:

1. ✅Main building ethernet cable wiring for planned cameras, completed over the past weekend
2. ✅Fiber optic cable installation between the three buildings is underway
3. ✅Enterprise 100G switches planned to connect buildings are on order while cabling installation in progress
4. Ethernet cabling for the two remaining buildings is scheduled for this weekend. 👉Volunteering opportunity is open, no professional knowledge is required, we have professionals to supervise
5. Finalized hardware list currently estimated between $17K-$18K. Placing order in the next couple of days with complete installation of system by end of September, parts include:
   
   • High storage capacity, 64 channels enterprise NVR
   • High definition (4k/8MP) enterprise cameras, including several advanced PTZ cameras
     
   • Game cameras for installation in mobile and unexpected locations
   • High definition monitoring screen for large number camera viewing
   • Enterprise router and multiple WIFI AP to enhance coverage around the property
   • Enterprise fanned IT closet with power supply and surge protector for safe protecting valuable equipment
   • Ethernet cables and accessories for wire connection
   • Enterprise managed PoE 48/24 ports network switches with 100G SFP+ stacking capabilities
   • Multimode 10G/40G fiber optic cables
   • Installation hardware such brackets, camera mounts and other accessories

We will keep you updated on the project progress as we continue working on it every time a milestone is completed.

We thank you for generous financial support, your presence and volunteering at the property, for your kindly, fully heartening comments and words of support, and for keeping the masjid in your prayer.

With Salam (Peace),

North Austin Muslim Community Center, Executive Committee

Salaam,

Thank you so much for supporting us! Whether your donation was big or small, your generosity has and will continue to strengthen our community. With your help, we have been able to clean up the damage, remove the temporary plywood boards, and replace the glass on our doors and windows.

Please continue to donate, and share our campaign with your family and friends! We still need to install a new, more reliable security system estimated at $50k-$70k for installation and materials.

Thank you again for your help!
