Lakeland Assemblies Cotillion Club
Created in the 1970s, the Lakeland Assemblies Cotillion Club is a non-profit organization managed by a volunteer board. Its mission is to develop self-confidence in students by promoting a consideration for others and building a foundation of life skills to make members comfortable in a variety of social situations.
Etiquette is essential in today’s competitive society and members will learn and understand proper etiquette in social and professional situations. Classes will emphasize courtesy and respect for others, a necessary foundation for character and relationships.
