Chic Happening: Tony’s and Helen Perry announce Spretzaturra!
What is Spretzaturra?!……not a favorite Italian dish by famed restaurateur, Tony Vallone, but is in fact, a term dating back to the Renaissance Era…..”a certain nonchalance, so as to make whatever one does or says appear to be without effort.”
So, if you don’t have the comfort and confidence in professional situations that you’d like or just need a refresher on the most current thinking of basic, good professional conduct, there is a fun, effortless way for you to learn. Image Consultant and uber Etiquette Guru, Helen Perry has created another one of her fun classes for Tony’s Restaurant where you can listen and learn while dining on a fabulous three-course lunch. “How To Be Comfortable in Social & Business Situations” is being offered on Tuesday, August 18, 2009 from 11:30 a.m. till 1:30 p.m. Ages 17-97 are welcome!
