Mangaluru: Nothing could have been more heartening to witness the success of the “Femme Fete” on the momentous occasion of the International Women’s Day. Over 100 stalls and 5000 footfalls were experienced from the beginning of the fete at 3 pm and till its culmination 10 pm on Saturday, March 7. The joint organisers of the Femme Fete – Women at Work and the ETC branding firm along with the venue sponsorer NorthernSky Properties – made it a runaway success.
This extraordinary event was held in the backdrop of one of the finest real estate ventures in Mangaluru at the central atrium of ‘NorthernSky City’ in Pumpwell, which added a distinct decorum to the event. The theme of the Femme Fete was effectively delivered on a three-layered structure, “Education”, “Entertainment” and “Shopping”, which became the right blend of fun and serious business. To make it more lively, the J&B Vibes music band belted out foot-tapping and knee-slapping numbers from various genres. The enterprising women saw to it that it was truly an event “of women, by women and for women”. However a number of men, who accompanied their families, appreciated the idea behind the fete.
The fete brought hundreds of products on a bouquet of consumer, services and educational products that won the hearts of the visitors. The products ranged from food, fabrics, bakery items, handmade articles, bags, artificial jewellery, items from women managed small scale industries and many other products in lifestyle, hobbies and even gardening and kitchen management. Shopping here was truly a delight.
Elaborate food counters were another highlight of the fete. As it was a Saturday, the weekend visitors relished the food from the counters.
The organisers – Women at Work, ETC and the Northernsky properties – added a unique hue to the fete by honouring three women achievers on the occasion ahead of the International Women’s Day. They were Tabassum of Sneha Deep AIDS charity home, who care for children in need of nutrition, education and safety. She also takes care of children isolated from their parents due to several reasons. Rajani Shetty, who was also feted, is that rare woman who shelters 40 stray and abandoned dogs- all of them are females and all in good health and wonderful spirits! Another woman achiever who was felicitated on the occasion was Corrine Rasquinha, who runs a psychiatric nursing home for the destitute, having rehabilitated over 600 destitute from the streets of Mangaluru city and given them lives of dignity.
To sum up, the ‘Femme Fete’ set a benchmark for all future women’s events in the for sure.
