We would like to have a semesterly dinner event for the CMU community and the rest of the Muslims in Pittsburgh. This is important for creating a sense of community within the CMU population and with the Muslim students are nearby universities. Our event usually brings in about 50 - 60 people, so we need to be able to cater enough halal food for everyone. We will probably buy 3 large meat dishes, and 1 rice dish.

We will also need side dishes, drinks, dessert, and utensils.

Too much unpredictability with speakers. If they are already confirmed, please appeal with additional information. Otherwise, the JFC has allocated money specifically for speaker events. You can apply for this money through the SBVPF.

Ops-Professional Services and Performers (+) $100.00 $0.00 $0.00

Our guest will probably stay for one night. Lodging in Pittsburgh hotels is around $100.

Speakers require an honorarium for when they come to speak. This year, we were able to afford our speaker due to a large donation given to our organization. We do not expect to have such a large donation in the future.
