REPORT ON LADIES WING LUNCHEON
SSA Ladies Wing had a fabulous beginning of 2019 with a fantastic Ladies Luncheon with about 96 attendees. Fun was on the agenda but not without purpose. SSA Ladies Wing is committed to providing full support to our Sindhi Lady entrepreneurs in Singapore.
The Luncheon on 12th Jan 2019 was inaugurated by Ms. Manju Melwani a Senior Entrepreneur. We had 2 young entrepreneurs Julie Belani and Bavisha Hathiramani who used this platform as a medium to present their businesses to the ladies of the community sharing their journey and inturn inspiring many. We Celebrated the spirit of Makar Sankranti with not just soaring spirits but also with sesame candies (home made by Geeta Lohana) and some kite flying. Lots of fun followed with Best Dressed Bollywood Queens, Games, Lucky Draw , Sumptuous Food Spread and Prizes.
We thank the Organising Committee headed by Drishti Bablani (Ladies Wing Chair) for putting up a great show. The amazing decor on Bollywood theme was creatively designed and presented by Divya Maglani. Harsh Atre captured the event beautifully on the lenses. Many thanks to our sponsors Harry Gurnani Of Lucky Store, Julie Belani, Bavisha Hathiramani and Vashi Chandiramani for generously sponsoring the prizes.
