The Halifax County NAACP hosted etiquette classes at a local elementary school, led by Yvette Bethel, a certified etiquette consultant and owner of All Forks LLC, an etiquette consulting firm based in Halifax, Virginia. Bethel provides training to both children and adults to enhance social skills, business communication, and dining etiquette. Following the training session, a banquet meal courtesy of Four Oaks Restaurant was served to the students. Special appreciation is extended to Hitachi Energy for sponsoring the banquet meal. The students expressed their gratitude by creating a thank you card, which was presented to Ryland Clark at the NAACP's regular meeting last night.
