"Melissa, thank you so much for a very enlightening dinner party. I already knew that learning the do's and don't of etiquette would be fun, but I didn't know how applicable I would find it so soon afterwards! I found my increased awareness of introductions and table etiquette has changed the way I act for the better. While at a party or function my new motto is "put your best fork forward" and give the most distinguished impression possible while still being natural, because it might be the only opportunity I have. Being in the health care industry, I meet new patients all the time, and like you said, you only have 5 seconds to make a good first impression. The dinner has even sparked many enlightening discussions with co-workers about the lack of standards, morals, and ethics in today's society, and how it trickles all the way down to lack of basic table manners. Melissa, thank you so much for giving me your keen insight on etiquette and protocol, and I know I will benefit from the course for years to come!"
