"A Symphony of Pink & Green" Cotillion Ball
On Sunday, January 25, 2009 at 4:30 p.m.,
33 beautiful young ladies will be presented at the
fourth "A Symphony of Pink and Green" Cotillion Ball, to
be held at Executive Caterers at Landerhaven, in
Mayfield Heights.
The cotillion is the culminating event for
the debutantes, known as A.P.P.L.E.S., an acronym for
Aspiring Peers Poised for
Leadership and Excellence.
The debutantes and the escorts participated in a full
year of activities which included workshops on finance,
nutrition, appropriate dress, self-awareness,
self-esteem, etiquette, goal setting and decision
making, just to name a few.
Educational enrichment and community
service were also components included for all
participating debutantes. The workshops and
community service projects were facilitated by members
of Alpha Omega Foundation and Kappa Alpha Psi
Fraternity, Incorporated. Weekly dance rehearsals were
held at Calvary Presbyterian Church by the Rev. Bertrice
Wood, a member of Alpha Omega Foundation, and strong
parental support existed during the entire year.
The young ladies are juniors and seniors
attending local high schools and reside in Greater
Cleveland. |
