APPNA STC Annual Gala 2024: A Grand Success
The APPNA South Texas Chapter (STC) hosted its Annual Gala on November 16th, 2024, with resounding success, thanks to the dedication and efforts of our host committee, volunteers, and the enthusiastic participation of our members and their families.
Our heartfelt gratitude goes to everyone who joined us for this memorable evening. Your support enables APPNA STC to continue its mission of providing medical relief and engaging in charitable programs both here in the USA and in Pakistan. The funds raised at the gala will help support various initiatives, including our Free Health Fairs and the APPNA House Project, which offers subsidized housing to young physicians from Pakistan as they complete their clinical rotations.
Special Thanks to Our Leaders and Volunteers
The evening’s success was due in no small part to the remarkable efforts of several key individuals:
- Gala Coordination Team: Special thanks to Dr. Ashar Ghori, Dr. Mirwat Sami, Dr. Bilal Lodhi, and Dr. Atif Akhtar for conducting the gala seamlessly and ensuring a well-organized and enjoyable experience for all attendees.
- CME Conference: We also extend our appreciation to Dr. Mujtaba Jajja, Dr. Ahsan Rizvi, Dr. Salah, and Dr. Muska for orchestrating a comprehensive and informative Continuing Medical Education (CME) conference earlier in the day.
Inaugural STC Bazaar: A New Milestone
This year’s first-ever STC Bazaar was a highlight of the event, featuring a wide array of vendors and activities for all ages. Our gratitude goes out to Dr. Atif Qureshi, Dr. Fabia Younus, Dr. Hina Mannan, and their team for their tireless efforts in making the bazaar a huge success.
Entertainment and Culinary Delights
The feedback from our guests was overwhelmingly positive, especially regarding the entertainment program and food. We thank Dr. Asim Shah for arranging a delectable selection from Tempura’s menu, delighting the taste buds of our attendees. The entertainment committee also excelled, with exceptional artist selections. Ahmad Butt’s humor kept the crowd laughing, while Saima Kashif and Ahmad Jehanzeb’s performances captivated the audience with their outstanding song choices.
Thank You, APPNA STC Community
We are immensely grateful to our entire APPNA STC community for their continued support and participation. Together, we are making a positive impact, fostering connections, and supporting causes that matter.
