The objective behind establishment of 'the ladies club', Multan, was to promote healthy, fun filled activities for the womenfolk of this city. More than fifty years down the road and this institute retains its identity for promoting superb services in this regard.

The month of October, brought one such event to life, in this prestigious club. A grand welcome party in honour of, Dr. Qamar Khushi (Department of English, Bahauddin Zakariya university, Multan. She recently moved back from Fatima Jinnah University, Islamabad.) This smart and sophisticated woman has always remained, a heart throb of the social life of this city. And it was a matter of great pleasure for everybody to know, that she had been doubly blessed. She secured a P.H.D. After her two master degrees (or as we say, in simple language double M.A. First in English language and literature and second one in, TEFL) and her husband, also got promoted to the post of Brigadier in the army. The club administration welcomed Ms. Khushi with a large bouquet, lots of love and open arms.

As per tradition of the ladies club, to make this event even more useful and informative, a lecture about 'oral hygiene', was delivered by dental surgeon, Dr. Maryem Muneer Awan. Followed by a fun-filled competition of indoor games. Mrs. Mahnaz Amir Sheikh, the secretary of the club was present at the occasion. Madam Shagufta Khaksar, the program secretary of the ladies club, performed the services of the compare. And invited Mrs. Tahira Najam (the literary secretary) for 'tilawat-e-Quran-e-pak' to begin with. These two ladies, along with Fariha Munir Shah (the joint secretary of this club, for the last 13 years) were also hosts of the evening. Mrs. Munaza Javed Iqbal was included among them.

Then, Dr. Maryem Muneer shared, very useful information about dental hygiene with slide demonstrations. Also announced, special discounts for the members of the ladies club.

Later, Mrs. Shagufta Khaksar conducted the indoor games. Many members participated and won prizes. Qamar was also invited to take part. She showed full sportsman spirit. The entire audience admired her elegance, her courtesy and humility, with she carried herself throughout the show. Many members reached out to her and loved the comfort, with which she interacted with them.

Finally, the prize distribution ceremony took place. The club administration invited Qamar to give away the prizes. And she was also requested to speak few words to address the audience. Being a lecturer and a professor, she gladly performed this task

At the end, everybody enjoyed hi-tea. Mrs. Tahira Najam, also had her wedding anniversary at the same day. But she had sacrificed her special day for the club. So, the members invited her to cut the cake. And the event beautifully ended in cheers and laughter.
