Mangaluru, Mar 8: Nothing could have been more heartening to witness than the success of the Femme Fete on the momentous occasion of the International Women’s Day. Over 100 stalls and 5,000 footfalls were experienced from the beginning of the fete at 3 pm and ending at 10 pm on Saturday March7. The joint organisers of the Femme Fete - Women at Work and the ETC branding firm, along with the venue sponsor NorthernSky Properties made it a runaway success.
The 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 Fest 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, 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 of Femme Fete.
The Femme Fete brought hundreds of products on a bouquet of consumer services and 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.
The elaborate food counters were another highlight of the Fete. Visitors enjoyed an array of mouth-watering food from the counters, ranging from cakes and sweets to savoury dishes and refreshing beverages, all of them homemade by enterprising women.
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 Tabasum of Sneha Deep AIDS charity home, who takes care of children who are in need of nutrition, education and safety, and children isolated from the parents due to many reasons; Rajani Shetty, a rare woman who shelters 40 stray and abandoned dogs, all of them female; and Corrine Rasquinha who runs a psychiatric nursing home for destitute, where over 600 destitute from the streets of Mangaluru city have been rehabilitated and given lives of dignity. Indeed, 'Femme Fete' has set a benchmark for all the future women's events in the city.
