Join us for this very special collaboration between Main Street and Best Buddies! Mary Schafhauser, Best Buddies VA/DC's Director of Development and beloved Main Street volunteer, and her team will be leading us in a four-part educational series through the month of November. You are welcome to join all four sessions, or just the ones you are most interested in. Today's session will be about Holiday Etiquette.
Get ready to celebrate the season with confidence! In this session, we’ll learn helpful holiday etiquette skills that will make gatherings with family, friends, and coworkers even more enjoyable. Together, we’ll practice:
· How to greet others politely at holiday parties and family events
· What to wear for different types of holiday celebrations
· Ways to join and leave conversations respectfully
· Table manners to use during holiday meals
· How to show gratitude through thank-yous and small acts of kindness
By the end of the session, you’ll have tips and tools to help you feel comfortable, confident, and festive wherever you celebrate this holiday season.
