WHAT TO EXPECT:

Business After Hours Networking is hosted by Brighton Chamber members or at Brighton business locations. This is a fun and casual networking event designed to build working relationships among members and guest. After Hours Networking events include light fare, door prizes and a chance to both unwind and network in a welcoming environment.

ABOUT THE HOST:

In 2012, Ms. Karen Klein, a 68-year-old School Bus Matron in Greece, NY, was humiliated to tears by a couple of students. One boy video taped the incident on his cellphone. It showed a boy who looked like he was flicking her ear, touched the “flab” of her arm with a book, and called her fat. The video goes on like this for another 8 minutes.

Miss Cynthia saw this video, and was shocked, disappointed and sad. It was hard to believe that a couple of young boys would so casually disrespect an “elder.” She uttered one sentence, “Someone has to begin teaching children manners.”

She bought The Refinement Studio LLC from her sister, Miss Maudie Vee, in North Carolina, and began offering classes in social etiquette and dining skills.

Miss Cynthia believes in teaching others to extend the niceties we once had, think before we speak, consider the feeling of others, and show respect.

The Refinement Studio LLC was established to assist children develop social skills, and to provide a positive, encouraging environment in which to do so.

Officially trained and certified by Minding Manners through the prestigious International Etiquette and Protocol Academy of London, Miss Cynthia is a UK Certified International Youth Etiquette Consultant.

ABOUT THE VENUE:

Today, one almost can’t turn on the TV or radio, or open a newspaper, magazine, or web page without hearing a mention of Mr. Fred Astaire in reference to dancing. He has left a lasting impact on the world and when people think of a dancing legend, Fred Astaire is the first to come to mind. We are proud of our great dance heritage which began in 1947 when the Master of dance himself, Mr. Fred Astaire, co-founded our company.

Mr. Fred Astaire, considered to be the greatest multitalented dancer of all time, wanted to establish a chain of studios under his name to make sure that his techniques would be preserved and passed onto the public. Mr. Astaire was instrumental in the choice of dance curriculum and instructional techniques. With the opening of the first Fred Astaire Studio on Park Avenue in New York City, Fred Astaire brought his immense talent out of the glamour of Hollywood and onto the dance floors of America and the world.

“Some people seem to think that good dancers are born.” Astaire once observed. “All the good dancers I’ve known have been taught or trained. To me, dancing has always been fun. I enjoy every minute of it. I am glad that I can now put my knowledge to use in bringing personal confidence and a feeling of achievement to so many people.”

Tournament Rules

1. Format is a four-person scramble. Each player will hit their shot to begin each hole. The team will choose the best shot, and from that spot, each player will hit their second shot. This format will continue until the completion of the hole with a single score recorded.

2. From selected shots, each player can place the ball within one club length, no closer to the hole. If the selected ball is in the rough, each player must play from the rough.

3. Men are to tee off from the White tees. Women are to tee off from the Red tees.

4. Mark the selected ball on the putting green. Each player is to attempt the putt from the same spot. The first ball to go in is counted for the team score. If no player makes the putt, mark the best remaining putt and all team members are to putt from there.

5. If the ball that the team selects is in a hazard (bunker or water), or in the rough, or out of bounds, you cannot drop the ball outside the hazard or rough, even if relief is within one club length away. If the ball selected is in a sand bunker, everyone must hit from the sand bunker within one club length. You can rake the bunker after each shot. If the ball selected was in the water, drop out under USGA Rules procedures and add a penalty stroke for each player hitting from the drop. A ball hit out of bounds is usually not selected, but if it is, the players all must re-hit from where the ball was hit before it went out of bounds, and each player must add a “stroke and distance penalty” (2 strokes).

6. Bogey is the maximum team score on any hole. Teams that reach a score of bogey on a hole are to pick-up and move on to the next tee.

7. Rule number seven is please have a good time!
