Etiquette Class Offered at Edison and Ford Winter Estates

FORT MYERS, Fla. (March 19, 2025) — On May 17 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Edison and Ford Winter Estates will host an etiquette class for children ages 6-12. The class is a two-hour session in good manners, where children will learn how to conduct a proper introduction, handshakes and dining etiquette during a three-course meal.

Suzanne Willis teaches the class at the Estates. She is a graduate of the Protocol School of Palm Beach and a Fort Myers native. Willis started the etiquette classes in honor of her grandmother, Florence “Mimi” Black, who was active in the community and served on the Estates’ advisory board for more than 30 years. Black met Thomas and Mina Edison when she was a young girl.

Each student will receive a workbook and certificate of completion. The menu includes broccoli cheese soup served with dinner rolls and butter, chicken Française served with rice pilaf and mixed vegetables, and chocolate cake for dessert.

Registration is required at EdisonFord.org. The cost of the class is $85 for Estates’ members; $95 for non-members. Parents should plan to drop children off for the class.
