A hearty thank-you for your leadership of “Good Neighbor 101: An Etiquette Survival Program”.
My daughters Kathryn and Julia learned and enjoyed the art of etiquette you taught with such passion and fun.
Each class lesson had practicality and interaction woven together, to pique the interest of young teens.
Kathryn especially enjoyed the role-playing and video of critiquing fashion in different social situations.
A demonstration of setting a table and conquering difficult foods to eat in public were also highlights.
Awkward social situations for teens were discussed regularly, says Julia. She appreciated the helpful suggestions to feel more confident in those less-than-comfortable situations.
Brenda, I appreciate your care and attentiveness with each girl’s questions and personal interests in etiquette.
The visuals you shared each week on large posters plastering the walls helped reinforce each lesson.
The grand event at an elegant meal at the Culinary Institute of America, along with a tour, is still being discussed at our dining table.
And yet, the greatest impact on my girls, by far, was your elegant presence each week. Your intrinsic beauty, both outward and inward, make you such an excellent instructor of the fine art of etiquette.
