Testimonials
Thank you for recently donating your time to come speak to the young women of the Nelle Smith Residence on behalf of the Junior League. Your worksheets helped to foster discussion among the group and your lively talk with props engaged the girls as well as the volunteers. The dining etiquette portion of your talk was greatly informative and I think we all learned a few new things! The girls will be equipped to eat properly both here and in Europe. The volunteers raved about your talk and were all very happy to have met you as well. I would highly recommend you as a speaker to any other charitable organization or for private tutoring in etiquette, Xiomi Murray, Junior League of the Palm Beaches, Inc.

I am writing this letter of recommendation for Carolyn Powery. I have used her service The Etiquette Touch Institute, LLC at the Palm Beach Juvenile Detention Center. The girls loved having her there and teaching them the proper techniques for setting a table, eating and conversing. I highly recommend her services to other Membership Managers and our Program Director, to be used in the Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida area. Tasha M., Membership Manager
Dear Mrs. Powery,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for performing the "Self Improvement Workshops" for our teens. The teens learned valuable information that will help them to excel in their future endeavors. The subjects: Personal Hygiene, Skin Care, Make-up Application and Fashion Tips, were all relevant and essential for today's youth. The interactive sessions were fun as well as educational.

I would like to start this letter off by letting you know that I appreciated your class of how to be a fine young lady. This class has taught me a lot, from me learning the techniques of how to sit like a young lady at a table, to you teaching me the understanding of a young lady value. This class was very helpful. My face has cleared up a lot, by me following your directions of how to take care of it. I now know how to tilt my bottle of nail polish and my coats are coming out perfect. I'm actually doing doing nails at little girl’s parties and my families nails of course! By being apart of your class, for the amount of time I had, Mrs.Powery, I am truly letting you know that I enjoyed each and every lesson you taught me! Brittany, age 16
