History
The National League of Junior Cotillion started in 1979 by Anne Colvin Winters in Lincolnton, North Carolina. Anne Winters obtained a background in performing arts and she wanted nothing more than to teach etiquette to the children in her hometown. It was important to her that the children learned confidence, courtesy, and multiple other social skills needed for success. In 1981, Anne met Charles Anthony Winters and the two were married. Together, they established a thriving cotillion program. As their program continued to grow, she desired to combine social dancing, etiquette and life skills into one curriculum where children could come and feel comfortable and safe, while also being successful. This curriculum became the National League of Junior Cotillion that we know today. Over the next few years, Anne and Charles traveled the country in order to train directors to become a part of their program.
Anne’s legacy lives on today through her son, Charles Winters II, who heads the organization. The team is now made up of over 100 passionate directors worldwide and 300 cotillion chapters in over 30 states. The National League of Junior Cotillions will forever be built on the foundation left by Anne Winter, one of courtesy, faith, and respect.

Jack Russell’s Great White has a new song out called ”He saw it comin” that is as good as anything the band has ever released. Every song on this album is fantastic. Watch the video for ‘Sign of the times’ on the home page of the website… you’ll love it!
Jack’s voice is as smooth as ever. I had the privilege of seeing them live earlier this year, both in an acoustic club setting, and on a large stage with the full band. They were phenomenal.

Since 1989, the National League of Junior Cotillions (NLJC) has been teaching children character and confidence to help them make an impact on their communities. Parents are given the opportunity to send their children to an environment that encourages courtesy, character, social dance, mannerly conduct, and more. The NLJC believe that courtesy and manners are timeless skills that children can carry with them into their old age. The NLJC promotes these successful skills because they want to give kids a lifetime of healthy relationships with friends, family, and associates.
The Junior Cotillions began over 25 years ago in Lincolnton, North Carolina. It started when Anne Colvin Winters began teaching etiquette classes to children in the small town. She wanted to teach the skills that she believed were the key to success. Marrying Charles Winters just two years later, Anne decided to partner with her husband to make this organization continue to grow. Starting at humble beginnings, the two had their first class at an armory in Lincolnton where they had to rent everything themselves. With the success of the class, the organization started to grow. Anne had big ideas for the program, noticing that most cotillion programs were about dance, she wanted to reform the system to teach children life skills along with the principle of social dance. The National League of Junior Cotillions was born out of this principle, and the future of Anne and Charles included travelling nationwide to help other programs adopt these new principles. Anne grew and nurtured the organization. She wrote training manuals and spread her idea across the United States. Although she is no longer with us, her legacy lives on through her husband and the organization grows even to this day. There is now a team of over 100 directors nationwide operating 300 cotillion chapters in 30 states, which has allowed them to reach thousands of children and make an impact in communities everywhere.
The National League of Junior Cotillions provides programs for children of all ages, from elementary school through high school. Starting in the Pre-Cotillion program, a child in Kindergarten through 4th grade learns how to be comfortable around others and be confident and polite in social interactions. In the Junior Cotillion program, children are given practice on etiquette and manners along with ballroom dancing instruction. The types of etiquette include telephone courtesy, conversation, dress code, sport etiquette, and much more. In the High School Cotillion program, young adults are given the opportunity to learn the skills required to be an adult. This includes principles such as paying bills, voting, submitting tax forms, and other financial responsibility. Along with this, the high school students are given instructions on job interviews and other important social interactions. No matter what age your child is, the NLJC is dedicated to making them a respectable and successful adult.

Recently purchasing a Toyota from Car Fare, I can say firsthand that I could not be more pleased. Searching for a used car with good gas mileage, I spent hours fruitlessly browsing online for local deals. With my old car edging closer to 200,000 miles, new problems were arising every day that I could no longer ignore. I started searching for used car dealerships, and that’s when I found Care Fare. I visited and I could not have been happier with the excellent service and advice the employees gave me. They understood my situation and the amount of driving I needed to do, and they recommended the Toyota that is now in my garage. Their selection of cars is always growing, and the variety is unmatched. I looked at every car until deciding on the one that they had recommended. It was clear to me that Car Fare cared about my situation. They did not try to sell me the most expensive car or one they were trying to get rid of, rather they listened to what I needed and found the one that fit my lifestyle. Their recommendation fit my budget and my driving needs, mechanically and aesthetically.
