Hello Fastathon Participants!
Just a reminder, the fastathon is tomorrow, so start your fasting at dawn (5:15 AM) and meet us in Memorial Union South 304 at 7 pm for the break-fast dinner, called Iftar.

We highly recommend people eat a small breakfast before dawn, called Suhur.

Remember-no food or water until Iftar. 
Bring any donations (money or cans) for the Central Missouri Food Bank with you.

Hope your fasts go well!
