November get together at Ladies club.

The stage, beautifully decorated by Farrah Khwaja.

On 22nd November, the scheduled party of the month was arranged. As the sacred month of Muharram was about to be completed, its honour called for, no music or frivolity of any kind. Keeping in view the sober nature of the situation, Mrs. Shagufta Khaksar, Program secretary of the ladies club decided to invite a scholar for a lecture to enlighten members of the club about the lives and sacrifices of the holy 'Punjtan paak'.

Mrs. Najma Khand, Shehnaz Saleem, Afroz Sardar, Zuria Bokhari, Jaria Zahra, Tahira Mirza, Shagufta Khaksar, Farah Karim Khawaja and Fariha Munir Shah were among the hostesses of the event.

Even a simple, plain lecture by a scholar turned into a beautifully arranged function due to a young and very capable member Farah Karim Khawaja. This girl went, out of the way to get the decorations done for the occasion. She even got the stage painted, arranged temporary carpeting and brought materials from her home to beautify the stage. The stage appeared fabulous with simple, yet aristocratic set up. The reason, why it is being mentioned here is to encourage the younger generation to come forward and contribute. Because ladies club Multan, is a place, where efforts are appreciated and contributions truly admired. This club is for the purpose of entertainment and socializing of decent women of the society. Another home for them, where they can gather in an informal environment and enjoy nice company of other ladies. Each and every member is valuable and highly respected.

A great number of ladies turned out at the occasion. It seems the life here at the club is rejuvenated. More and more members are gracing the functions these days. Mrs. Shagufta Khaksar did the honours for Farah Karim Khawaja by introducing her to rest of the members and handing over the comparing to her and Farah did a great job.

First of all the lecture was arranged, the learned scholar Madam Rubina Raza, not only increased the knowledge of the members by sharing her information about the lives of five towering holy personalities of Islam but also answered the queries lurking in the minds of the ladies, regarding different issues.

Later, a little competition was carried out. All the members were requested, before the date of the program to come wearing a flower in their hair. A good number of ladies, totally forgot about it but those who remembered, received the prizes. Which included Uzma Burana and Shahnaz Iqball as well. Ladies were invited up he stage and displayd the flowers in their hair.

Prize distribution ceremony was arranged. Fariha Munir Shah was requested to give away the prizes.The female journalists are an inseparable part of the ladies club and this party had a nice representation of them. Shaireen Rana from Jang, Razia Beg from Nawai Waqt, Ruqaiya Naeem and Mahwish Khan, were among the leading names present there.

At the end, a scrumptious dinner was served. The awesome menu included Seekh kebabs, halwa poori, chollay. A great big serving of 'Chowmein' was also added to it, as a courtesy by our enthusiastic, young member Farah Karim Khawaja . Ladies club Multan thanks Farah for so much of dedication and also extends another thank to Dr. Munir Hussain Shah for providing generator and its fuel again, as the hours during which the function was carried out were the from 5pm to 7pm, which perfectly coincides the load shedding schedule of the area.Your contribution is always admired.
