Laurel Garden Club will celebrate the arrival of the Busy Season with its Grand Summer Luncheon, set for 11:30 A.M. Thursday, July 20, at the Episcopal Church of the Incarnation in Highlands.
Organizers promise a fabulous gourmet lunch, silent auction, and a presentation by April McLean and Debra Lassiter of Perfectly Polished: The Etiquette School.
April is always looking for new and innovative ways to communicate etiquette and manners. April grew up in a very small rural town of Millen, Georgia. She brings a twist of Deep South antics to stereotypically dry and boring subjects. While Debra holds tight to Etiquette Expectations, April tends to find the realistic and believable approaches to life’s circumstances.
Debra sets the bar high for those she coaches and expects in return the standards are never deviated from. There are no exceptions. With a smile on her face and love in her heart she will never compromise on her level of success. She genuinely believes that everyone is capable of living a life well “polished.” Thirty-five years of interacting with society makes her the Social Rule Enforcer. Debra grew up in Athens and is proud to still call the city her home.
You can purchase tickets to the luncheon at laurelgardenclubhighlands.com or at The Dry Sink, 450 Main Street in Highlands.
The purpose of the Laurel Garden Club is to “aid in the protection and conservation of our natural resources, encourage civic beauty and roadside beautification, stimulate the fine art of gardening and enable cooperation with other organizations furthering the interest of horticulture and conservation.”
Proceeds from the luncheon will be reinvested in the Highlands community with grants to further horticultural
and conservation.
