The Governor's mansion will be open to children who need some shaping up.

A manners class is being offered at the mansion for eight to tweleve-year old children.

The kids will learn how to set a table, and use manners at dinner and on the phone.

Mary Pat Abele, from the Missouri Mansion Preservation Incorporation, says the day is a lot of fun.

OutCue: "hospitality and history with children."
Contents: We did this project first in the year 2000. It was a collaboration then between Missouri Mansion Preservation and then first lady Jean Carnahan as a way of sharing the mansion's hospitality and history with children.

The children end the day by bringing a guest to a four-course luncheon.

The class starts July 10 and runs every Wednesday through the end of the month.

To sign your son or daughter up, call 573-751-4939.
