November's most prestigeous event...Treat Her Like A Lady
North East Stars Media.Dear Sir/MadamLast year, North East Stars Football Club created a truly unique event. Designed to raise awareness of victims of domestic violence, Treat Her Like A Lady became a social awareness phenomenon, not just in Trinidad & Tobago, but globally.
The concept was simple; to show women that men do know how to treat women with courtesy, respect and appreciation. To accomplish this, the staff and players of North East Stars F.C. treated over 70 invited female guests to an enchanting evening of cuisine, cocktails and entertainment at the Carlton Savannah Hotel.
Before the event began, several victims of domestic violence were invited for massages, manicures, pedicures and facials by Cher-Mere staff in a private suite. (It was important to ensure the privacy and anonymity of these victims, some of whom mingled at the event, unknown by the guests.
Hosted by Nikki Crosbie, the event held at the Carlton Savannah Hotel saw guests escorted from the car park on the arms of North Easts' younger players to the poolside area. There, the ladies were served with a variety of wines, cocktails, soft drinks and water.
While friends and acquaintances were made while background music gently played, other footballers were preparing and serving a range of hors d'ouerves, as well as grilled shrimp and chicken. Although speakers had not been planned, several eminent ladies requested to complement the players and staff as well as voice their support of such a worthwhile cause. Several guests, including World Boxing Champion, Ria Ramnarine pledged to help in further raising awareness of victims of domestic violence.
Nikki Crosbie entertained the guests and gave a vote of thanks to North East Stars, and Michelle Xavier sang some specially arranged songs and gave a superb performance. Goody bags of Cher-Mere products were distributed to the guests as they left.
The event was mainly sponsored by Cher-Mere, Hadco, Carlton Savannah Hotel and Carib, with donations also made by Woodford Cafe and More Veno.
The evening was covered by an international film crew and the resulting film (please click link below) was broadcast on America's BET channel as well as being sent around the world via internet.

This years Treat Her Like A Lady will take place on Wednesday November 2nd at the Hilton Hotel, Port of Spain from 4pm until 9pm. The purpose of the event this year will be to raise awareness of The Rape Crisis Centre.
