Ladies club - New year, bonfire - brunch.

The general secretary,  Mrs Mahnaz Amir, delivering the annual report of the club.

Finally, 2013 is here. An year, that many believed was never going to arrive. Because of the dooms' day predictions, at the end of 2012. But the world lives on, and it clearly shows that no soothsayer can ever guarantee the future. Nobody knows, but only, the Almighty.

The Muslim (lunar year) had already started few months earlier. But as it begins with the sober month of Muharram, with no celebrations. So, natives of Multan, join in the festivities of solar year, to bring in the new year.

The annual function of the ladies club, Multan, was arranged at a time, to mark one such occasion.
On 16th January, a bon-fire brunch was hosted by Mahnaz Amir Sheikh, the general secretary of the club and her group members.

As winter evenings in Multan, remain engulfed in fog and freezing temperatures. A bright sunny brunch was sure to attract a great number of members, to attend this function.

The highlights of the show, included, a detailed account of an annual report about the programs arranged by 'the ladies club', during the year 2012, by the general secretary. Later, the program secretary, Mrs. Shagufta Khaksaar, conducted a singing competition, which caused a great deal of excitement among the members. Ladies were also invited to a dress show, to exhibit, their styling and elegance. Many ladies, young and old, participated and won prizes. Lots of other fun filled activities were carried out, to entertain the audience. The participants and winners were, given the prizes. Separate prizes were given to the club administration, including Mrs. Nassem Durrani (the finance secretary), Fariha Munir Shah (the joint secretary), Mrs. Shagufta Khaaksaar (the program secretary) and Mrs. Tahira Najam (the literary secretary).

At the end, a scrumptious brunch was served, with live cooking and barbecue.
