YOUNG LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
Today at 2:37 a.m.
The Greater Little Rock Chapter of Jack and Jill of America held its inaugural Pink and Blue Junior Cotillion-Beautillion, a fundraiser, on March 1 at The Venue at Westwind in North Little Rock. Twenty-eight children in grades sixth through eighth from area middle schools were presented to the community. Mini Belles and Beaus In-Waiting were also presented.
The chapter started the event as a program for students to learn social graces and manners while celebrating Black culture. Over several weeks prior, participants attended workshops on communication, philanthropy and cultural skills while also developing self-confidence, character, respect and friendships through a series of etiquette workshops and dance lessons.
Jurnee Taylor with KTHV-TV served as mistress of ceremonies. Kristin Hardy, Miss Central Arkansas 2024, did the presentations.
