In case you did not see this news here, Shinsei is hosting Mrs. McVeigh on June 2nd. Escort your child or children, ages 6-12, for an early evening etiquette lesson. The hook is a complimentary cocktail for mom OR dad (not both). If your child does not learn anything during the session, the cost of the cocktail is $75, but if he or she does, it is probably worth every penny.
Mrs. McVeigh is also one of the incoming Armstrong PTA members (recording secretary) Merritt is trying not to piss off.
It would be hard for me to piss her off, she is a pal.
