Charlotte Harbor Chapter

Classes

Registration

The membership drive for Season I of the upcoming season opens on February 14th and continues until classes have filled. Membership is on a first-come, first-served basis, and the numbers must balance between girls and boys. The Charlotte Harbour Chapter of the National League of Junior Cotillions and the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Centre Chapters have merged and share the same schedule of Events and venues. We do not advertise; instead, we rely on graduates and current students to share their cotillion stories with others, thereby building membership through nominations.

Acceptance

Provided the class is open and space is available, students are accepted in the order in which their deposit was received. Only students whose registration is accompanied by a deposit are considered for acceptance. Deposits are held in a set-aside account until acceptance is confirmed. Once acceptance is confirmed, there are no refunds in fairness to those on the waitlist. The number of students in class must be balanced between girls and boys. To keep the class in balance, we accept one girl and one boy together on a first-come, first-served basis. The only exception to the first-come, first-served policy is this: Should a girl or a boy nominate their corresponding registration, the girl or the boy is accepted with the acceptance of their nominee, provided the director is notified in advance.

Membership Fees & Payment Policies

Membership fees must be paid in full by September 15th to attend class. No student may attend the opening event or any subsequent events until memberships are paid in full. If membership fees are not paid in full by the due date, a student on the waitlist will be offered your place. There are no refunds once acceptance has been confirmed.

Payment Plans & Sponsorships

Payment plans are recommended. The Foundation handles memberships through an outside accounting and bookkeeping firm.

Contact the director for information on payment plans.

Personalized Memory Books / Evoke Studio

As with most educational programs involving minors, personal photography and videography are not permitted at Cotillion events, out of respect for the privacy and safety of the families we serve.

To ensure that special moments are beautifully preserved, we are pleased to partner with Jessica Bunger, owner of Evoke Studio, and her assistant, Seth, who attend each class, dance, and ball to capture professional, high-quality action photos of your children participating in the program.

Families may purchase:

• Personalised Memory Books that showcase your child’s Cotillion journey
• Digital Downloads of event photographs
• Access to a private online gallery, available to families who purchase either a memory book or digital package

Evoke Studio is an independent contractor and manages all photography services separately from the Cotillion program. A Memory Book Order Form will be posted as soon as it becomes available in the fall.

Tip: To ensure your child is featured in the book and to receive the best value, we recommend placing your order on or before the Opening Events.
