GROUP GETS LESSON IN DINNER ETIQUETTE
Nine lucky kids got a lesson in etiquette from some savvy "Society of Angels" mentors. And for all their attentiveness and good manners, they were rewarded with a delicious array of practice foods...chicken (eaten with knife & fork), salad, strawberries, rolls and lemonade.
Good manners are always in fashion and that's why this special group of ladies will be back again, just in time for the holidays.
