The Annual Little Ms. Monique’s Cotillion was Launched on June 4th 2010, at 14:00hrs at the Ocean View Hotel.
The Little Ms. Monique’s Cotillion Program not only excels in traditional cotillion instruction of dancing and etiquette, but also provides excellent lessons in hands-on dining and goal setting. This new program offers convenience to parents and young girls, while allowing them time to do various activities along with fund-raising causes and special events.
The six-month program concludes with a Cotillion Ball and Awards Program.
Monique’s Caring Hands Support Center, Little Ms. Monique’s Cotillion offers etiquette classes within Georgetown, and currently has eleven participants in the program. By working with schools at their location, the program will be more accessible to students as well as no cost to parents. The program is currently geared toward young girls from ages 8 to fourteen years old.
This etiquette and social skills program teaches children all the important skills for everyday life and beyond. They will learn to shake hands, make correct introductions, write thank you letters, respond to RSVP’s, be a host, be a guest, dress for the occasion, set the table, dine with manners, and learn what it means to have nice social skills.
CEO, Dawn Stewart said “our world is fast paced and busy, sometimes making it hard for parents to find the time to teach their children etiquette; most of the time they are just trying to make it through the day. Unfortunately, TV and movies don’t show enough examples of proper behavior, so simple lessons like these help the child to know what correct behavior is and that it is expected of them. These lessons, along with reinforcements from home and school, will help guide children to becoming well-behaved young adults!”
Monique’s Caring Hands Support Center believes that having good social skills and being able to properly present one’s self, is a necessity in today’s increasingly competitive society. It empowers individuals to feel comfortable with themselves and others, to communicate more effectively, and to set a leadership example in school, business, or in any social situation; promoting personal growth, confidence and character. In a progressive world where definitions are often lost, words such as courtesy, sensitivity, and respect often overlooked – Monique’s Cotillions will stands as a model in educating the young to enjoy, appreciate and respect their role in society.
In addition, persons who have made a contribution to the children of Guyana and supported Monique’s in their ventures will receive awards in their honor. The event will conclude with the Cotillion ball an evening packed with entertainment to include cocktails and dinner.
Cost for event is $5000 dollars and we are asking the public to purchase tickets. Fifty percent (50%) of the funds raised by the cotillions will be used by Monique’s Helping Hands Support Center to assist in our annual charity programs for children only, 10% will be used to provide gifts for the winners of the cotillion, 40% will be used for the various skills training, outings, events, and the cotillion ball for the Cotillion participants.
