Little Miss Moniques Cotillion programme set for launch today

Jun 11, 2010 News

Today the Annual Little Ms. Monique’s Cotillion is set for Launching at the Ocean View Hotel at 14:00hrs.
The Little Ms. Monique’s Cotillion Programme 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 programme 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 programme concludes with a Cotillion Ball and Awards Programme.
Monique’s Caring Hands Support Centre, Little Ms. Monique’s Cotillion offers etiquette classes within Georgetown, and currently has eleven participants in the programme.
By working with schools at their location, the program will be more accessible to students as well as no cost to parents. The programme is currently geared toward young girls from aged eight to 14.
This etiquette and social skills programme 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 behaviour 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 Centre 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 $5,000 and we are asking the public to purchase tickets. Fifty percent of the funds raised by the cotillions will be used by Monique’s Helping Hands Support Centre to assist in our annual charity programmes for children only, ten per cent will be used to provide gifts for the winners of the cotillion, 40 per cent will be used for the various skills training, outings, events, and the cotillion ball for the Cotillion participants.
Founded in 2003, CPIC Monique’s Caring Hands Support Centre is a non-governmental volunteer organization with a primary mission to promote the quality of life for all Guyanese people with an emphasis on health, education and family registered as a friendly society in Guyana, S.A.
