Karachi Club Publication March 2014
From the desk of Chief Editor
Dear Members, I would like to initiate the news letter with a quote, "Respect is earned. Honesty is appreciated. Trust is gained. Loyalty is returned". As members of the club we do function as a family where we feel secure, respected and valued. This newsletter is dedicated to the senior members where every year the club is proud to announce and reward their bonding and strong affiliation with the club for more than 50 years. Their trust, alliance and allegiance to the club have undoubtedly been consistent, steadfast and full of pride. Thank you for being there for us. May you live the best of your life with good health and success. Now coming to our upcoming events and functions, veterans cricket, KC Badminton, swimming events and much more will be held. The most unique and exclusive stamps display is going to be interesting and attention grabbing for the members. The most interesting thing about postage stamp is the persistence with which it sticks to its job. For our readers, I would like to share that Philately is the study of stamps and philatelist is the stamp collector whom we will witness with a great and valuable collection of stamps from all over the world. With genuine appreciation and warm regards,
Shamoon Bakir Ali Lokhandwala
