ING Expresses Best Wishes for the Holidays
Wishing the best for all the holidays that align with the new moon, including Eid al-Fitr, (Festival of the Ramadan Fast-Breaking), which falls this weekend, Rosh Hashanah, and others that fall at this time. May the holidays be a time of joy and celebration for you and your families.
“Now, this time of self-reflection and clarity reminds us that the principles that are the hallmark of Ramadan – charity, sacrifice, and compassion – are also values we cherish as Americans. They guide us towards good stewardship of our families, our communities, our country, and our world.” – Secretary Clinton’s remarks at Annual State Department Iftar Dinner
ING’s president, Maha Elgenaidi and ING Atlanta Affiliate Director, Soumaya Khalifa joined dozens of American Muslim leaders at a Ramadan iftar (fast-breaking) dinner with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Tuesday September 15.
