Cotillions to establish local program
The National League of Junior Cotillions, a program of etiquette, character education, and social dance training for middle and junior high school students, has announced plans to establish its national program in Cleveland County.
"We will be selecting a director for a local chapter who will receive complete training and an exclusive territory for expansion," said Anne Colvin Winters, NLJC National Director.
The organization has directors operating hundreds of chapters in 37 states.
The purpose of the NLJC program is to give students instruction and practice in the courtesies that make life more pleasant for them and those around them.

Applications or nominations for cotillion director are being taken. For more information, call 1-800-633-7947, go online www.nljc.com, or e-mail cotillions@nljc.com.
