Happy holidays

Lady T renette Wilson Happy Holidays! 2020 has been a year filled with unexpected twists and turns that have impacted the lives of us all.

The NAUEP family extends our deepest condolences for the many lives lost as a result of the Covid-19 health pandemic, as well as those lost for other reasons. I pray God’s comfort and peace.

As our impact continues to grow, I am honored to work alongside men and women who have carried the torch of civility during a time when incivility seems to dominate.

NAUEP is committed to always being at the forefront of healing through etiquette and our efforts continue despite a changing world.

Thank you for your support, encouragement and commitment to making us a part of your empowerment.

All the best,

Lady T NAUEP LEADERSHIP President Alisa Allen Vice President Tonja W. Prudhomme Membership Director Karla Flagg-Wright

Staying Close While Social Distancing during the Holiday For many, this year’s holiday season is completely different. Normally, families are making plans to spend time together, sharing gifts and shopping.

Because of the Covid-19 crisis the world has faced for nearly a year, families are being told in many cities that they cannot even have the closest members of their family visit them during the holidays.

Connect Online Today’s technology makes it easy for you to see your loved ones instantly. Set a weekly “techin” so you can see all the people who are important to you. Zoom makes it easy for more than one family at a time to sit “techin.”

Though most people understand the importance of safety during a pandemic, not seeing their dear sweet mother is heartbreaking.

You don’t have to lose the connection to those whom you love during this time. With a few creative ideas, you can continue to share the love.

Send a Fun Family Christmas Card Years ago, people used to send great Christmas cards to family and friends. This year would be a great year to take a fun family photo and send it electronically.

Take a Virtual Family Vacation Host a family meeting and ask your kids they’d like to visit. Have them each put a presentation together and take the family on a visual journey.

Include monuments, eating spots and all the best attractions!

Hang a Special Family Ornament The holidays are a times of memories and one great way to make great memories is to have each family member make a special ornament for loved ones they miss seeing during this very special time. Connect online to show them how much you miss them.

honoring ETIQUETTE PIONEER

Barbara B. Smith 1946-2020

A model, restaurant owner and business mogul, B. Smith was the nation’s first African American lifestyle expert.

The epitome of class and elegance, B. Smith became the face of Black women. From her show, “B. Smith with Style” to her furniture line with the Lazy Boy Company, B. Smith was truly an example for all women.

After being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2004, she passed away on February 22, 2020. We salute her grace and the etiquette world mourns her passing.
