Our Social Morning will meet this week from 9.30-12 noon in Baker Finch Room at Arabian Ranches Golf Club. Please note the programme starts at 10.30 am.
December 4th 2018 Talk: Mariela Marcantetti of Furless
Furless is a leading centre for permanent hair removal in Dubai. If you think that sounds a little scary, Mariela will dispel the myths and discuss the pros and cons of different hair removal methods for different ages and skin types. Mariela will also offer a voucher to all ladies present for a treatment worth around 270 dhs.
Announcements
Tuesday 4th December will be the last RL Social Morning to be held in the Baker Finch Room until the New Year.

Please come along if you are in Dubai over Christmas. Restaurant staff will show you to our table.

Al Ihsan
Tuesday 4th is also the collection day for root vegetables, onions, garlic, chillies, ginger, apples and oranges for distribution in the nightly food kitchen in Ajman. Please bring along to RL social morning whatever produce you can spare in a reusable bag.
