Sunset this past Monday evening was marked by an invitation from the Dawoodi Bohra Community and other members of the Billerica Interfaith Association where Town Manager John Curran and Police Chief Roy Frost participated in enjoying an evening meal at sunset, known as an “iftar” marking a break in the day’s fast during Ramadan. The Dawoodi Bohra mosque in Billerica was officially inaugurated in 2004 and has been a wonderful addition to our community since that time. As a longstanding member of the Billerica Interfaith Association, our friends from the mosque have faithfully served this community, whether through its work at the Community Food Pantry, providing support during the annual Clean Up Green Up events, or the multitude of other community focused events, we can always count on our Dawoodi Bohra neighbors to provide a helping hand. Joining us at last nights event was our partners from the United States Attorney Office for the District of Massachusetts, including US Attorney Rachael Rollins and her staff, along with our Law Enforcement partners at the FBI.
