International Women’s Group Host Annual Seasonal Dinner
09December 2018:On the evening of December 9, 2018, the International Women’s Group gathered to celebrate the season with their Annual Dinner held at Al Afrah Ballroom at the Crown Plaza Hotel.
Members and friends, walked into a Christmas themed ballroom where women of different cultures and backgrounds met to socialize and share general knowledge. Always a reason to celebrate, this fun-filled season makes it ideal to welcome the new year with one heart and one wish for peace across the globe.
CletheGubler, President of IWG, welcomed the ladies and wished them well for the night and the year ahead. She also conveyed warm wishes on behalf of Honorary Chairperson of the group Sheikha Anwar Al Sabah.
The evening was full of entertaining acts and games that kept the smiles on the ladies faces. A talented Middle Eastern band (arranged by the Embassy of Palestine) set the ambiance with live oriental music and a video representing the different celebration methods that Middle Eastern cultures adopt for the season.
There were also a big number of gifts that were given out. From beautiful crystals handed to everyone from Santa, lovely poinsettias, several gift vouchers from Sears, Mais Al Ghanim and Nana Salon to a huge TV screen as the big raffle prize! The women were on their feet while they anticipated the gifts they are about to receive.
A wonderful and truly ‘jolly’ evening that was accompanied with performance art and delicate cuisine, will be cherished and remembered as a great end to 2018 and fabulous start to 2019 for all IWG members.
