Rameen Anis and group host a party for friends of SOS

The hostesses
Rabia Bosan, Tehmina Munir, Rameen, Haleema Khokar and Hafsa

There is no doubt that 'friends of SOS' have the most happening committee party group in the city of saints. Full of fun, maximum number of members and an extremely sacred purpose at the back, the philanthropic spirit to build the lives of children of SOS village. Month after month, year after year, all the kind-hearted and caring, lovely ladies of Multan, gather together and implicate unique ideas of entertainment and raising funds.

The party for the month of October was hosted by a group of stunning ladies. Rameen Anis, Tehmina Munir, Rabia Bosan, Haleema Khokar, Hafsa, Zahra and Shazia. The theme they selected for the party was equally appealing. To bid farewell to summer and say 'hello' to autumn. The venue was, one of the most exquisitely designed, prize winning lawns of Multan cantonment. None other than of Rameen Anis. Who went on to implicate this romantic theme, intricately and artistically. Starting from dressing in the rusty shade, which made her appear beautifully elegant.

Smiling scare crows unveiled happy face of autumn, instead of the usual morose one. Rust, Yellow and Orange colors were stretched out at the scene. Table cloths, napkins, even dried flowers of the same shades to emulate the hues of changing weather. Enormous artificial pumpkins and corns were also part of the decorations. Beauty further enhanced by spot lighting, glass pots, fancy candles and stands. In short, the season of fall was assembled at one place, in a lush Green lawn.

There were plenty of games to entertain the guests. 'Find way in the mine', balloon race and musical chair, kept everybody engaged, laughing and cheering. Lots of fun and exhilaration, swept away the gloom of smoggy days that the natives of this city were facing during those days. Breathing the fragrance of fresh flowers and fauna was a gift in itself. Yet, the hostesses were generous enough to reward the participants for being a sport.

The comfortable seating arrangement in the open, neatly lined up tables, seemed to be a work of some event organizer or designer, but it was all done by Rameen herself. Amazingly good job indeed. Which went on to extend in form of a fabulous treat of eatables and desserts, which everybody enjoyed and admired her skill at the culinary art as well.

Mahnaz Fareed, addressed the gathering, admired the efforts of the hostesses and dedication of all the friends of SOS for being an extra ordinary team. She also praised Haniya Shahid, who manages this arduous task of dealing with 180+ committee members and collecting the amount from them. She said, each and every member is valuable and even the smallest of their contribution is bringing a sizable change in the lives of children of SOS.

Not to forget, the gorgeous Tehmina Munir, who is always willing to lend a helping hand and is full of unique ideas. She remained a great support for Rameen in the whole affair and proved a wonderful hostess. Whereas, Rabia Bosan, was content, just being there, looking good and being her sweet, smiling self. All the hostesses showed great courtesy and tried their best to impart to their guests a wonderful time. Great work ladies. It was indeed, one of the best parties of this round. Congratulations, you deserve a pat on the shoulder.

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...
