Summer 2017 party at Ladies club Multan

Few of the hostesses of the event. Mrs. Naseem Raheem, Bina Khwaja and Farrah Ilyas

Ladies club Multan, the oldest, most distinguished platform, meant for social interaction of the ladies of Multan. Continues to bring them together, to share their joys and sorrows. Helps them find friends to cheer in celebration. To hold their backs and provide shoulders to lament in sadness.

It is a historic place now. Generation through generation, women took pride in being its members. It was necessary, for the influential and happening to be a part of it. This club has its own legends. It is itself a living legend. Though, times have changed and there are plenty of other attractive activities available for women to remain busy, but those, who are associated with this place can not separate from it. Mrs. Naseem Raheem, Mrs. Farah Ilyas, Beena Younas Khawaja, Aisha Farzana Khawaja, Farah Saqib and Rabia Bosan are among few of them. And together they hosted a party for the club memebers on 13th of May.

As, it was the holy month of Shaaban, the ladies decided to hold a prayer and an Islamic lecture. The most interesting part of this program was that it started in time (although Multani-ites are also legendary for delaying the events and late arrivals). But all the hostesses, were there in time (except Rabia Bosan, who remained absent).

The show was hosted by the 'program secretary', Mrs. Shagufta Khaksar. A renowned scholar was invited to lecture about 'the significance of 15th of Shabaan'. Followed by prayers for the country and the entire Muslim ummah. Also, an Islamic quiz was conducted as an activity. Those, present at the event displayed a lot of excitement and knowedge by answering the questions.

Beena Younas, according to her sweet nature, went on to extend her hospitality at this occassion as well. Alongwith her family and friends, Mrs. Farrah Ilyas and Aisha Khawaja, who remained involved with the guests, as if the party was at their own house. Whereas, Mrs. Naseem Raheem, in addition hospitality was also responsibe for arrainging the hi-tea. All the hostesses, played their part very well and deserve Congratulations!

At the end, the joint secretary of the club, Fariha Munir Shah was invited on the stage to address the gathering. She thanked the hostesses for their efforts and the guests for being there She extended special thanks to Mrs. Farrah Ilyas, who has contributed a railing outside club door. Which helps those seniors members, who are unable to climb the stair without some support or underlay. Fariha also announced that it was the last party of the season, club will now remain closed till September, because of summer vacations.

Mrs. Naseem Raheem also addressed the gathering, thanked them for their presence. And invited them to a scrumptious hi-tea, hosted by the group members. The turnover was amazing, despite summer heat. Everybody enjoyed the lavish menu, which is a characteristic and tradition of this group.

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...
