SUMMARY:Ride Your Bike to MCC Jumu'ah & Get a Free iniBurger Meal
DESCRIPTION:As MCC continues to grapple with heavy parking congestion at its weekly Jumu’ah services\, we’re excited to offer a special incentive for community members who choose to ride their bikes to the mosque. \nTo help reduce traffic and make things easier for everyone\, we’re encouraging biking as a great alternative. \nAs a thank-you to any worshiper attending the 1:30 p.m.\, 2:30 p.m.\, or 3:40 p.m. service\, the first 20 attendees each Friday who bike to the mosque will receive a complimentary Iniburger meal card good for a complimentary B’igi Burger combo. \nGift cards can be picked up from the Operations Office. Just let our staff member know that you rode your bicycle. Remember to wear your helmet! Please safely park your bike in front of the women’s entrance. \nThis promotion is sponsored by concerned MCC community members who do not want to see MCC’s critical conditional use permit jeopardized and who are appealing to our beloved congregation to attend the weekly off-site auxiliary Jumu’ah or to begin biking to MCC Jumu’ah instead of driving. \nQuestions? events@mcceastbay.org \n\n \n \n
