Ranches Ladies Newsletter

Good morning Ranches Ladies. Hope you have a great week ahead.

Charity Initiative by Choitram and MSF

Médecins Sans Frontières/ Doctors Without Borders (MSF) are thrilled to announce their partnership with Choithrams in a special campaign aimed at providing essential medical care to the communities facing challenges in the West Bank and Gaza.


From March 20th to June 20th, 2024, Choithram International Foundation will be donating a portion of proceeds from select Goodness Foods products to support medical interventions for individuals in the region. With every purchase of these specially marked products, you’ll be making a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most.

The situation in the West Bank and Gaza is dire, with thousands of individuals facing unimaginable challenges and in need of urgent medical assistance. Through your support, we can extend a hand of hope and healing to these communities.

Join us in this meaningful cause by simply choosing Goodness Foods products during your next visit to Choithrams stores or through their online platforms. Your decision to shop consciously can make a world of difference.

Together, let’s stand in solidarity with those in crisis and make a positive impact in the lives of others. Visit Choithrams.com for more details on how you can contribute to this vital campaign.

Lunch Circle

Last Monday, 6th May, the Lunch Circle enjoyed a delicious 3 course menu at Jun’s award winning Chinese restaurant on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard, Dubai Downtown. The food was inventive and delicious! The service was excellent and it was a lovely group of ladies as always!

The next lunch is planned for Wednesday 29th May at Duomo Italian restaurant at the Edition Hotel, Dubai Fountain Street, Downtown. This lunch is full, but you could be added to a waiting list in case of any cancellations.

Karen Weaving, our Lunch Circle leader, will be leaving Dubai in June, so this will be the last lunch she is organising for the group. Karen has done an amazing job with the Lunch Circle which has offered wonderful food and great company.  Thank you, Karen, you will be missed!  We wish you all the best for your move and hope you come back to visit us soon.

Karen Richardson has kindly volunteered to lead the Lunch Circle from June onwards. Thank you Karen and we wish you every success.
