On September 1\, 2012 men from all walks of life will walk one mile inside Prien Lake Mall in women’s high heeled shoes to protest rape\, and sexual assault. The event begins with registration at 8:00 am. This event is coordinated by the Sexual Assault Response Team (SART). Proceeds from sponsored walkers in the event will benefit  Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Programs in Southwest Louisiana\, Oasis Sexual Violence Program (formerly Rape Crisis Outreach)\, and The Child Advocacy Center of the Family and Youth Counseling Agency. WHO: Male community members and leaders will show their support of the movement to end sexual violence by marching in high heels\, with women and children marching at their side. Educators\, students\, law enforcement officers\, elected and appointed officials\, and others are expected to participate. WHEN: The march is scheduled to begin at 10:30 am with registration and check in starting at 8:00 am at Prien Lake Mall\, located at 496 W. Prien Lake Rd. Men\, women\, and children are invited to participate and pre-registration is welcome. The registration fee is $20 per person\, $15 for students\, or $100 for a team with a maximum of six members. All participants registering prior to August 15\, 2012 are guaranteed to receive a free event t-shirt. “One in three women has experienced gender violence in her lifetime. A woman is raped every 90 seconds in America\,” said Frank Baird\, Founder of the March. “That means someone you know\, someone you care about has been the victim of sexual violence. This violence does not just affect women. Men are hurt and angered when women they care about are raped. And the same violence that targets women also targets men because rape isn’t about sex\, it’s about power\, control and violence.” Inspired by the old saying\, ‘You can’t understand a person’s experience until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes\,’ men will literally walk one mile in women’s high-heeled shoes. A Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) is a multidisciplinary interagency team of individuals working collaboratively to provide services for the community by offering specialized sexual assault intervention services. The team is specialized to fit the needs of our communities and has goals of increasing reporting and conviction of sexual assaults and countering the experience of sexual trauma with a sensitive and competent response. The team consists of local key responders such as advocates\, law enforcement officers\, forensic examiners (SANE))\, crime lab personnel\, and prosecutors.

We are going to have 3 events a year plus the finals. One event will feature vodka and all the cocktails must have vodka at the main liquor. It will be held sometime this summer. Another will feature bourbon which will be this fall and another rum which will be next spring. People pay $10 to come in a taste the cocktails and they get two tickets to vote on the best cocktails. The bar with the most vote tickets wins that event. The bartender who created and served that drink then qualifies for the finals which are held at Contraband Days. There have been two events held so far\, one last fall and one in the past few weeks. The top 5 bartenders from those two events qualified for the finals which are going to be held on May 9th. The finals are going to be fashioned like the show "Chopped" where we give them a couple of ingredients and they have 8 minutes to fashion a cocktail from that. We are going to have a panel of judges who will then judge the cocktails and then cut one competitor. They will then have a different baskets of ingredients and do the same thing until we get down to the "last bartender standing". This will then be considered the best bartender in Southwest Louisiana. The event is going to be held at the amphitheater at the Civic Center and will start at 7pm. There will be music and bars to buy your own concoctions. You only need a pass into Contraband to attend but you can get limited VIP seating for $25. The VIP seating is going to get to taste the cocktails the competitors make. VIP seating will be purchased at the gate so come early to get yours. After the event we will have a DJ spinning some tunes to stay and enjoy the evening or you can cruise through the Contraband grounds.
