Friends of SOS committee, August-Septemer 2013.

The hostesses of the party.

For the months of August and September, the friends of SOS grew innovative and held their committee party at Gloria Jean's Multan. It turned out to be a surprising news for those who keep  visiting Gloria Jean's off and on. Although, it is a nice, cool, hip hop, happening place. But is definitely more of casual kind. Everybody wondered, how this group of eminent, sophisticated ladies are going to respond to the idea, put forward by Hania Shahid's genius. Even more astonishing was the thought, how the staff at the restaurant/ cafe', going to accommodate these women.

On 28th September, the experience of attending this party, turned out to be amazing. The turnover was brilliant. The arrangements were fantastic. The staff was responsive, attentive and efficient. The hostesses were many. Of course, for two months, the number of the members of had their turn was double than the routine. Humera, Marium Faisal, Saima Tariq, Riffat Abid, Asma Nadeem, Afshan Wasee, Kiran Rashid, all of them were the hostesses of the evening. Ayesha Najeeb's name can also be added in the list, because her family owns Gloria Jean's here in Multan. Her presence, must have added some extra efficiency among the staff. So, everything went on perfectly.


Mahnaz Fareed Sheikh and Saadia Yaqub discussed and shared with other members the upcoming programs and events. Also requested all the members to donate, the hides of their sacrificial animals for bakar-eid to SOS village, Multan. As it is a home to many of the deprived children, orphans of the society.

So, the event proved to be a great success and everybody enjoyed the delicious, variety of snacks available at Gloria Jean's and had several rounds of the superb coffee and tea they offered.


Once again folks!! A reminder: Donate the skins of your sacrificial animals to SOS village, Multan. As they are seriously making efforts to improve the lives of many under privileged children, by providing them, better living, better education and even better chances in life.

M.G.M. Swimming pool.

View of the domes of MGM bulding from inside the pool. The crystal clear blue water. Chairs lined up for the spectators. Little pool for the toddlers. Summer is finally here, although, the weather still turns unpredictable at times. But still, one feels like taking a dip in the cool, cool water of a crystal clear pool.  M.G.M (Multan Garrison Mess. Commonly known among  Multanis, by its' old name 'services club'), opens up, pool doors for all its' members every 15th of April. The pool is open air, so it works on seasonal basis. From April to September/ October (if weather allows it).  Last year, the pool remained open, only till May, after that, it was shut down for renovations & could not be reopened because of the 'dengue' scare. MGM pool has always been, undoubtedly the biggest & the best in this city, with an excellent filtration plant to boast & an extremely dedicated team of military men as workers, for maintaining th...
