The dynamic Ladies of Savannah Chapter of Top Ladies of Distinction, Inc. held their biannual Kiddie Kotillion and Beautillion on March 4, 2017 at the Elmore Theater on the beautiful campus of Savannah State University.

The Kiddie Kotillion / Beautillion is a fundraiser for the chapter with the proceeds used to help organizations and activities such as the YMCA, the Black Heritage Festival, Susan G. Korman, March of Dimes, Hospice Savannah and various other causes.

This year, six young ladies and four young men were all vying for the title of King and Queen. The young ladies were Seraye Graham, Bolivia Hopkins, Sydnei Althea Campbell, Bianca Cheyenne Dawson, Jayden Aakeira Rogers, and Madison Chisholm. The young men were Andre Ontario Gadson, II, Billy Johnson, Jr., Zachuary Brown, and Derrick Chisholm.

In the midst of a beautiful backdrop of colorful balloons and decorations, the Ladies of Savannah Chapter modelled their Sunday best hats. The hats ranged from Fedoras to medium sized hats, to hats with unlimited feathers all fit for a sharp, well dressed Lady.

The reigning 2014 Queen, Ms. Aryanna Collins, took her final walk. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the King and Queen. The winners were King Andre Ontario Gadson, II and Queen Bianca Cheyenne Dawson.

King Andre is the son of Ms. Kendra Lyles. He is eight years old and a member of Thankful Missionary Baptist Church. Andre is a third grade student at Windsor Forest Elementary school who enjoys singing and attending church.

Queen Bianca is the daughter of Mrs. Alana Dawson and Mr. Chad Dawson. She is six years old and a faithful member of Tremont Temple Missionary Baptist Church. Bianca attends Esther E. Garrison School of Arts, and she enjoys gymnastics and dancing.

The Ladies of Top Ladies of Distinction send their heartfelt thanks to the parents, friends, all of our gold, silver, bronze and pink sponsors who helped to make this affair a success.

Thanks also to Lady Johnnie Holmes and her entire committee for putting on a world class Kotillion/ Beautillion.

Savannah Chapter of Top Ladies of Distinction was organized in Savannah by Lady Jacquelyn Stephens, and Lady Annette Mitchell presently serves as President of the chapter.
