Friends of SOS June/July

The hostesses together.

Arrival of June, brings in interesting changes in the city of saints. Because of vacations around the world, return of the natives occur. Whereas, those who enjoy living here, get out for national/ international trips. The faces, which remain missing throughout the year are found here during summers, where those who are seen everywhere, go missing.

This year, the sacred month of Ramadan was to arrive in these vacations too. Lots of personal engagements and commitments were expected. So, friends of SOS decided to hold committee parties of next months together on 25th June. And what other place in Multan can host a better party than Lahore Chatkhara Multan. Thanks to Hania Shahid, the owner of the place, already exquisite ambiance of the restaurant, was elegantly enhanced for this event with personal touches like flower arrangements and candle lights.

No doubt, Hania remains a hostess at all friends of SOS parties, as she conducts and runs its entire functioning. Ramla Saim, Hina Zulfiqar, Ghazala Fraz, Umaima were among other hostesses of this party. Although Hina and Ramla remained missing from the function. The menu of the Hi-tea was awesome and so was the hospitality of the hostesses.

Friends of SOS Multan were extremely delighted to have Nomeeta Sultan among them, a prestigious educationist, a professor from Bahawalpur university. She also happens to be the sister of Hania Shahid, the head of the committee and Lahore Chatkhara Multan. Her presence added grace to the event.

Indeed, it was a fabulous party with great turnover of the members and the fantastic cause it was held for: To help children of SOS village Multan. Kindly remember them in all your prayers and do contribute for them through donations. Remember SOS village Multan and its children for your sadqaats, zakats and donations in kind.

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...
