Get a jump on your New Year’s resolution to raise more well-behaved children by enrolling them in the Mansion’s traditional Children’s Etiquette Class, for children aged 7 to 12 years old, led by etiquette expert Colleen Rickenbacher. No more elbows on the table or talking with a full mouth, after this class your children will be the picture of politeness, and you will be able to eat at home or dine out with confidence. The class includes Ms. Rickenbacher’s hands-on instruction, during which the children learn the finer points of table setting, the proper use of silverware and appropriate mealtime manners. After learning the essentials of table manners, class participants get a little practice with a specially designed lunch menu. The Mansion’s menu poses an “obstacle course” of dining, from eating soup without slurping to keeping peas on the plate. 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. $75 per child includes meal, training and take-home etiquette placemat; $60 per adult (children must be accompanied by an adult).
