Get together at ladies club

Farah with participants of long hair competition

December is generally an extremely cold month for the city of saints. Sometimes, the temperature drops down to zero degree during this time of year, but December 2015 turned out to be really kind and remained as soft as spring time. Some people longed for the usual fogs and colds which they enjoyed during this month, some thanked God for not having them. Whatever! This month still remained the wedding and party season.

Ladies club Multan also arranged a get together to cherish the pleasantness of weather with its members. On 4th December, the party was hosted by Mrs. Shagufta Khaksar, Fariha Munir Shah, Farah Khwaja, Mrs. Yasmin Khakwani, Mrs. Munaza Iqbal, Zuria Bokhari.

The show was hosted by assistant program secretary Farah Khwaja and program secretary Mrs. Shagufta Khaksar. Different games and competitions were organized between the members. Old friends and acquaintances enjoyed the company. Everybody was of the opinion that the club desperately required a facelift, like renovations, generator and air conditioning. Joint secretary Fariha Munir addressed the gathering and encouraged the members to contribute for the benefit of this legendary platform, which is providing women of the area to socialize and learn something. She also thanked Farah Khwaja who gifted rugs and prayer mats to the club.

At the end, a hi-tea was served. And the special feature of it was that each hostess had brought a homemade treat. Ladies loved the cupcakes made by Zahra Shah (daughter of Fariha Munir) and also admired sandwiches by Farah Khwaja, pizza by Shagufta Khaksar.

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).

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...
