Have you downloaded our new app? We created the “Thank You Note and Event Manager App” as a fun and easy way to keep track of notes that need to be written. Hop over to our app page for more information.
I’m excited to annouce the release of our new app; just in time to help you keep track of all of the Christmas, Hanukah and other Holiday gifts… and the many thank-you notes that need to be written!
SAYING THANK YOU GETS EASIER WITH NEW APP
The Thank You Note & Event Manager app allows users to stay organized, keep up with manners
While it may seem the hand-written “Thank You” note is a thing of the past, it lends a more genuine feel than the canned email reply that is typically deleted before ever opened.
The Thank You Note & Event Manager app will not only help with the daunting task of remembering and sending out thank-you notes, but also help the organizationally challenged keep track of gifts, guests, special occasions and numerous other events.
“In addition to helping anyone keep tabs on gifts for all occasions, it is also designed for professionals to track clients, customers and colleagues to send hand-written notes to for such occasions as after the job interview, after a networking event, a promotion, business lunch or meeting,” said Carey Sue Vega, etiquette expert.
The Thank You Note & Event Manager app helps keep inventory of stationery items and ties them to events, and it will remind users when they are low on product. It can record event details, guest lists, RSVPs, gifts, thank-you notes, and even organize them by date and importance.
The Guest List feature allows users to import guests from a current contact list into the Thank You Note and Event Manager contacts folders, complete with a snap shot of the guest for a visual reminder. It also allows users to keep track of guests as they RSVP, giving an accurate guest count to help aid in the event planning process. Another unique feature allows users to take a photo of a received gift for easier recognition of the item when ready to send a personalized thank-you card.
Those who get bogged down with multiple calendars in a phone, day planner, or computer can use the Thank You Note & Event Manager to set event reminders to keep on track before the event, as well as afterward.
“The calculator function breaks down the note-writing process into easy chunks, helping you to plan how many days or how much time you need to allow to write your notes,” Vega said. “This, we find, was a great and much-needed tool for our busy lifestyles and to make the process manageable.”
The app also includes a function, which provides a direct link to the Manner Monday blog, which provides more helpful tips and inspiration.

If you are a high school student, don’t miss out on the great events we have planned…
Premiere Cotillion (High School)
Premiere Fall Fling Party: Please encourage high school students to attend our annual ”Fall Fling Party”. This is a fun opportunity for students who are interested in participating in the Premiere, High School, program to learn more about Cotillion. Guests are encouraged to bring a friend to the event as a great way to introduce them to the program.
We will have a DJ and dancing. Finger foods and dessert will be served.
Dress Code for the Fall Fling: Business Casual.
Gentlemen, please wear khaki pants, or slacks, a dress shirt or polo style shirt (tucked in with belt).
Ladies, please wear a conservative skirt or dress (skirt length to be no shorter than 2 inches above the knee).
No jeans, tennis shoes or hats please.
Tickets are $7.50 for one or $10.00 for two and are available online by going to: http://cotillionfallfling2011.eventbrite.com
Premiere Program: The Premiere Program begins in January and the class is already filling up, if you are interested in your high school aged child participating, please register him or her soon. In addition, if you know of anyone interested in this program, please feel free to share this email with them.
The Premiere Program is open to students in 9th-12th grades, previous Cotillion participation is not required.
Details for the Premiere Program, 9th-12th grades, are available online at http://premierecotillion2012.eventbrite.com/
Premiere Interview Intensive: As part of our continued effort to “develop the whole child,” we are excited to continue with our “Interview Intensive” program to instruct students, 10th-12th grades, in the aspects of interaction in interview settings. We are excited about these efforts to equip the professionals of tomorrow with the manners, etiquette and social skills they will need in the transition from the admission process of the halls of academe, through first job interviews, and on to positions as well respected members of our business and professional communities.
To mark the culmination of our training, students will attend a formal reception where they will be paired with an adult who will interview them for 10-15 minutes and then critique them on their performance. The process will be repeated until each student has had 3-4 interviews and critiques. We plan to make the interview process fairly challenging and difficult for them, so that later in life, when they are placed in a high-stakes interview situation, they will be able to enter in knowing how to conduct themselves and therefore feel more confident.
For details on the Interview Intensive Program for 10th-12th graders, please go to http://interviewintensive.eventbrite.com
Space is limited this year for both the Premiere Program and the Premiere Interview Intensive, so please register early.
