"Charm School" to Offer Female Social Etiquette

Special from Darlene Carter

MOSS POINT -- The Moss Point Visionary Circle will offer Female Social Etiquette workshops for middle school aged girls during the month of July. The program is hosted by the Moss Point Department of Parks and Recreation Summer Camp, and classes will be held at Sue Ellen Gym.

The program was nicknamed "Charm School" by its participants last year. This is the second summer the Visionary Circle has offered the program, and each year it has grown. Women in the community donate their time and talent in their particular areas of expertise. They represent the United States Air Force, City of Moss Point Police Department, Moss Point High School Alumni, Professional Visionaries, Divine Women in Action, and are employees of Singing River Health Systems, Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, and Keesler AFB to name a few.

Topics this year include technology etiquette, etiquette for dating, how to build a positive self-image and promote self-confidence, leadership and self-esteem development, first impressions, personal hygiene, image enrichment, table manners and dining etiquette, public safety, and environmental protection.
