2025 SLC Dinner Session:

Month of Ramadan Iftar Option

As the 2025 SLC occurs during the month of Ramadan, we invite attendees who will be fasting until sundown to join us for a later meal after the Dinner Session concludes.

Pre-registration is required before 5:00 PM ET on February 19.

Please continue reading this page for complete details and to register.

Meal Items

Iftar meals will include a freshly prepared to-go version of the full 3-course vegan meal, including the roll, salad, entree, and dessert. Silverware will be provided, and menu items will be served at the appropriate temperature (i.e., hot entree and chilled salad and dessert).

Menu

Romaine and spinach salad / mandarin orange / dried cranberries / sliced strawberries / nut-free granola / vegan dressing
Mediterranean stuffed grape leaves / chickpea and cauliflower stew / pepper relish / steamed broccolini
Roasted apple trifle / apple custard / blondie / caramel

process & logistics

  1. The chapter advisor polls members to identify a total number of Iftar meals to request, and submits the registration form on this page by February 19. The entire chapter does not need to participate. Note that we do not need you to identify the specific attendees observing the month of Ramadan by name.

  2. Based upon the number provided by the chapter advisor in advance, designated seats will be reserved at the chapter’s assigned table(s).

  3. Typically, water, salads, rolls, and dessert are pre-set at every place setting before the session. For those observing the month of Ramadan, the place setting will be replaced by a card indicating the seat is reserved. The reservation card will serve as the ticket to exchange for a later meal.

  4. At the close of the Dinner Session, banquet staff will be stationed in a designated area outside the ballroom with fresh meals prepared to-go. Attendees will exchange the reservation card at their seat for a meal at this station.

  5. After picking up their meal, attendees are welcome to enjoy it in a location of their choice. For your convenience, the Ambassador East Ballroom will be available for dining on a first-come, first-served basis, as will the tables in the Center Concourse of the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel.

dinner session attendance

Members and advisors observing the month of Ramadan are, of course, invited to attend the entire Dinner Session. However, we recognize that they may not wish to sit through the dinner service. Therefore, those observing the month of Ramadan may choose to arrive at 7:15 pm, when the meal service will be concluding, at the chapter advisor’s discretion. The program will resume shortly after that time.
