Welcome

WELCOME TO THE LAKE LANIER CHAPTER OF THE NATIONAL LEAGUE OF JUNIOR COTILLIONS!

Announcements

Exciting developments for the Upcoming Season

The Lake Lanier Chapter of the National League of Junior Cotillions is growing, and we are delighted to share several meaningful new opportunities for students, families, and community partners.

This season, our chapter is officially accepting student applications for tuition assistance, making it possible for more children to participate in the life-shaping work of Cotillion.

We are also expanding our programming to include Pre-Cotillion for rising 1st–4th grade students, giving our youngest students a joyful introduction to manners, kindness, confidence, and basic social skills.

For older students, we are now offering PAID High School Assistant roles for qualified students who would like to serve as role models, assist with instruction, and gain valuable leadership experience throughout the season.

And most exciting of all, our community can now participate directly in this important work by sponsoring our program. Sponsorships help provide tuition assistance, support special events, and strengthen the mission of bringing courtesy, confidence, respect, and social grace to the next generation.

Please visit our Classes page for more information about tuition scholarships, Pre-Cotillion, High School Assistant applications, and sponsorship opportunities.

Alongside her husband, Alan Gonzalez, Abigail is raising six children—four of whom are teenagers—and remains deeply involved in her local community through academic initiatives and competitive youth athletics, particularly football.

Guided by an undying curiosity and a lifelong devotion to learning, she remains attuned to both classical traditions and the evolving expectations of today's society.
