Ranches Ladies Newsletter

 

 

The summer holiday period is here but a lot of Ranches Ladies are staying here in Dubai. Ranches Ladies has a number of online circles still meeting and members will be continuing to paint, sew, make mosaics and enjoy all their crafts

Although Dubai is returning to normal RL cannot resume its activities, meetings and circles until we have received government approval from the CDA.  As a result we cannot resume our Tuesday coffee mornings or organise the usual circles. Please bear with us and continue with your online activities.

 

We will let you know as soon as Ranches Ladies can meet face to face again

 

Ranches Ladies the Movie

 


RL is hoping to create a short video telling the world all about Ranches Ladies and its members. If you are a current or former member of RL and would like to submit a short recording of your positive thoughts and memories of RL and Dubai please send a short video recording (no longer than 30 seconds in length) to Shelley on ranches.ladies@gmail.com. Maybe write a short sentence and then record yourself reading it to camera on your phone.  You can email Shelley if you need any advice on making the recording.

 

Please continue to email circles.ranches.ladies@gmail.com with all your pictures, suggestions and activities.
