The CD-MDC recently held a formal dinner for participants of the Social Graces for Youth class. This class taught etiquette and social graces skills. The participants spent over six weeks in courses ranging from place settings, proper dining etiquette, grooming and social graces.

The youth participants were DeRay Armstrong, Jiliahnne Boyd, Antoinette Caldwell, Crystal Caldwell, Jabri Duhaney, Stacy Embrach, Imani Fenwick, Kenneth Armstrong-Hudson, David Higgins, Tia Higgins, Natasha Hurst, Warren Morris, Brittany Morgan, Obini Morgan, Olivier McLeod, David Nichols, Charles Onwakwe, Renee Shamberger, Rory Shamberger and Rachelle Vinson.
