Presentation/Entertainment:
- The speaker was informative and brought awareness to a topic not often discussed, but predestined for all of us.
- This was a very informative and interesting presentation and my only complaint: it ended too soon!
- This was an excellent and truly relevant program. Hearing about their services in this setting was just right. Enjoyed hearing the stories and different experiences, the Frank discussions, you can tell they are very good at what they do.
Catering:
- Everything was just great. Wonderful idea for the to-go boxes! That dessert was perfect.
- Missed the bruschetta, but it was still delicious
- Ti Amo's never disappoints!
Venue:
- Beautiful place! Perfect size room for our chapter meeting.
- Location was convenient, easy to find with plenty of parking space.
- Very nice and comfortable. I was able hear and see the speaker very well from the back of the room.

Etiquette Tips
for International Travel
|
|
|
If you are planning on traveling abroad this year, be sure to read about the customs and manners of each country you will be visiting. Learning about the special customs of a region is both educational and fun.
Here are some of the “10 Unique Etiquette Tips to Use Around the World” by Debbie Mayne that you might find helpful.
- Great Britain: British people often use the word “Cheers” to replace saying “thank you” and goodbye”. Whether or not you want to say “Cheers” while there, just be sure to use polite language when responding to others.
- Italy: Remember to dress modestly when visiting a church or cathedral. Ladies, that means that you should not wear tank tops, shorts, or clothing that bares your midriff.
- Japan: If you are invited into a Japanese home, always remove your shoes. Also, remember to bring an elaborately wrapped gift for your hostess and graciously accept any gift that is given.
- China: It is considered rude to point with your fingers; instead use your whole hand to gesture. And, many Chinese businesses consider tipping to be an insult. Ask about whethere or not a tip is expected before you receive any service.
- France: Greet people with, “Bonjour”, especially before asking for assistance. Also, remember that the French like to take their time with meals; so, if you are a dinner guest, plan on the meal taking much longer than a traditional American meal with multiple courses.
- Middle East: Women should dress very modestly, keeping both their shoulders and knees covered. And, if invited to a home for a meal, always accept any food that is offered so you don’t insult your host. Remember to leave a small amount of food on your plate to indicate that you have had enough to eat.
These are just a few of the great tips Debbie Mayne shares. The bottom line is that it is important to know about the country you are visiting and to understand what is considered polite as well as what is considered rude. The saying is true, “know before you go”.
