"Pade A6-ThB^hrnnr^1n-^K.,rB>layryW*tWvttT-1 8 Close-Up Urban Leagi By SUSAN HUNT Chronicle Staff Writer This will be the 27th vear that the lneal 1 Irhan League Guild has sponsored the Ebony Fashion Fair and the Mr.-Miss Ebony Fashion Fair contest. But this year's contestants have an added treat. The volunteers and staff of the Urban league have put together a series of mini-workshops to prepare the youngsters for meeting the public as they go about selling tickets to the Fashion Fair. The workshops have generated quite a bit of interest, said Cleopatra Solomon, chairman of the committee responsible for the workshops. The contestants meet at the Urban League Senior Center on Saturdays. One mother who came to drop off her daughter ended up staying for the full session because she found the meeting so interesting. The goal of the workshops is to equip the contestants with a general knowledge of the social^ graces, as well as salesmanship and public speaking. "They are gaining know ledge here that they will use later in their future as well as in this pageant," Solomon said. "Thes^contestants are representing not only themselves but the Urban League and the city of Winston-Salem. Therefore, we wanted them to make a good impression." The workshops were launched Saturday, Sept. 29, with Alderman Vivian Burke leading a session on "Good Salesmanship Public Speaking Self Confidence." Contestants learned how to approach people for ticket sales, how to speak before an audience and how to exhibit confidence in themselves. One contestant, Vevica Sewell, said, "I'm a very shy person, but Alderman Burke is an excellent speaker. She gave me a new outlook on things. She helped me a lot and I'm thankful and appreciative t- k Ht*<< Bpir ?pv R vx/SuRkKK^ Homecoming Parade Miss Northern Connection Vetta Bullock waved she rode down Fourth Street Saturday during State University's homecoming parade (photo b] " To4k About Town S.

The second workshop was held Oct. 6 and~was led by Rebecca Brown, the Urban League's local project director. Brown instructed an interested group in the importance of using the right clothing accessories. Andrais Brandon, a professional model and make-up artist, provided valuable information on proper skin care and the use of make-up. James Coleman is one of only two males in the pageant this year. "1 learned that even guys are allowed to wear make-up," he said. "They taught me it's beneficial to take good care of your hair and "Tl./... * L. * I n-i-i ? a. nc/ luugrn me n s oenejiciai 10 IQKe good care of your hair and skin ? and even how to take care of your mustache." ?

On the same daterDteniseltilF and Renee Hill will give a mini-course in hair and nail care. While the contestants are excited about the workshops, they have been given several additional gifts, suctaas a personal make-up kit, portraits, free hair-dos and facials. And, Solomon says, "They are given an introduction to the community. So many of these young people do not know who their community leaders are. They are not aware of who key persons are or even that these people are black and can serve as role models. For this reason we have tried to choose as instructors for these miniworkshops persons who are very prominent in our Local NAAi K plans to elect The Winston-Salem branch of the NAACP will elect its new ofB..
