Is a fork merely a break in the road and a napkin a synonym for sleeve?

Jodi Smith would like to help you not to be such a slovenly sloucher.Smith is a UR alumna who is the president of Mannersmith, which is an “etiquette consulting firm.” This Sunday she will be hosting an evening for students to learn “proper networking tools for both business and social situations.” Dinner will be served as Smith instructs the attendees on the proper dining etiquette.Dinner is scheduled for Sunday at 6 p.m. Tickets are now on sale at the Common Market for $8 and must be purchased by Friday.Goldner can be reached at bgoldner@campustimes.org.
