Over a year ago, at one of Bella’s #KindnessRockPainting events, a connection was made between Irene’s Prom Closet founders and a special lady who dropped in one night to paint rocks.
Little did we know that this year she would suggest her employer that Irene's PROM Closet be the nonprofit selected by their giving back to the community program. Her employer listened and we are so happy they did. Thank you, Molly Murphy! 💗
Irene’s Prom Closet was the proud recipient of a drive made by #SMSDataProductsGroup Headquarter’s in Tyson’s Corner this past Thursday. The donation consisted of prom gowns, suits, jewelry, shoes & more. SMS is a dynamic, systems integration firm providing professional services and IT solutions to the Federal Government throughout the nation, and in many countries around the world. Kudos to SMS for giving back to the community! We are so appreciative they chose us as their recipient for the drive💕

‘Twas the night before Christmas, a little after 11…
A Loudoun Sheriff’s Deputy was running RADAR on Old Route 7…
When the beam caught a hold of something neither far nor near…
The speed indicator ran high and out of nowhere came eight tiny reindeer…
A sleigh full of toys followed and flew over in a flash…
The deputy ducked and waited for the sound of an enormous crash…
But the sleigh remained flying high and in such a hurry, that the deputy rubbed both eyes to ensure they were clear and not blurry…
In the final report the deputy wrote- all I could hear…
Was the Voice of a jolly old man exclaiming Happy Holidays and have a safe new year!!!

Our Story
Common Ground is the dream of two sisters to share about civility, etiquette and 21st century skills to go hand in hand with great education and careers. Our firm’s consulting side took off successfully and we slowly but surely added workshops and mentorship sessions as our clients’ needs arose. After a brief hiatus, we are back in 2018 with yet a plethora of Manners & Etiquette; Business Etiquette; Professional & Personal Development workshops and mentoring for individuals; small businesses; executives; staff; college students; children and youth. Maria and I have come together to continue serving you and feel very blessed in doing so!
We partner with parents as early as age three to make sure children understand in a fun but educational manner the importance of manners and social graces. We further engage them by utilizing all sorts of multi-media, including role-playing, music, presentations, videos and by carrying out kindness projects for the community.
Family Dining: Family is very important so we are the only company in the area that provides “dining etiquette tutorials for the entire family” at home or a restaurant. Once in College we reinforce real life business and social graces with hands-on training and real-life business coaches.
COMMON GROUND ETIQUETTE, specializes in preparing and empowering via training, mentorship and sharing resources, that assist in achieving the highest potential in the professional and personal arenas.
Business Dining Skills. Your image matters, especially when you're in a business environment. All it takes is one wrong move to jeopardize your professional image. The truth is, appropriate table manners are significant indicators of a polished person who is at ease with business dining – the kind of person who plans to move forward in the corporate world and who can be counted on to represent their company in a way that will promote relationships and advance company goals. Once you master some basic rules of etiquette dining, you will dine with confidence and guile.
