RL Tuesday Social Morning

 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.
May 14th 2019: Hayet Zerelli

Come and meet Hayet, the RL vice president and jewellery maker, and bring any broken jewellery you would like her to fix or jewellery you would like to adapt to give it a new lease of life. She will also bring a selection of her own magnificent jewellery for us to admire.

Announcements

We would like to wish Ramadan Kareem to all our Muslim members and your families. May you have a blessed and peaceful Holy Month.

This week at the RL Tuesday social morning we welcomed the talented team from Rachna Salon who applied free henna designs to the Ranches Ladies. Their artistry is incredible and we also discovered some of the history of this beautiful tradition and marvelled at their gorgeous designs. Rachna has become a recognized henna and beauty brand with over 70 locations across the region but find them nearby at Motor City near Spinneys.

Next Tuesday 21st May we are delighted to host a Make Up Masterclass using Flormar Cosmetics, a leading Turkish make up brand, by one of their head make up artists. This is an incredible opportunity to see a professional make up artist at work and to learn a new quick make up look for the summer. There will be giveaways too! Make sure you come along to the social morning next week for this not to be missed occasion.

Goodbyes

With regret we have to say goodbye and thank you to 2 valuable RL members, Lorna and Jenny. Lorna has been a stalwart and enthusiastic member of RL and has given her time and energy to decorating the room for Tuesday social mornings, she has organised parties, lunches and has arranged meet ups with neighbours for new members and always been a great support to the committee. Thank you Lorna for all your fun and hard work.

Jenny recently joined the committee but is sadly standing down as Circles Leader as she is leaving Dubai in the summer. She kindly picked up the role from Angela and has introduced 2 new very successful Circles since she started. Thank you Jenny.  We give you both all our best wishes and wish you good luck in the next chapters of your lives.

This means we now have vacancies in three areas, Discounts Manager, Treasurer and Circles Leader.  Please speak to Connie or any member of the committee about these roles and to explore how you can help this wonderful organisation, Ranches Ladies.
