The Vicksburg Cotillion Club will hold its annual Christmas Ball on Dec. 10 at the Ardis T. Williams Sr. Auditorium, formerly the Vicksburg Auditorium.

The black-tie event will include a lead-out of the 44 club members. This year’s theme for the ball is Jingle All The Way.

The Vicksburg Cotillion Club was founded in 1987 with the goal of providing young women with skills in etiquette, leadership and community service. Each year, the young women choose a monthly project to reach out to or serve the community. This year, they have worked with United Way of West Central Mississippi to express the importance of staying in school to others and donated candy to the United Way’s trunk or treat event. They have also donated canned goods to the food pantry and will be collecting toys for children.

About Terri Cowart Frazier

Terri Frazier was born in Cleveland. Shortly afterward, the family moved to Vicksburg. She is a part-time reporter at The Vicksburg Post and is the editor of the Vicksburg Living Magazine, which has been awarded First Place by the Mississippi Press Association. She has also been the recipient of a First Place award in the MPA’s Better Newspaper Contest’s editorial division for the “Best Feature Story.”

Terri graduated from Warren Central High School and Mississippi State University where she received a bachelor’s degree in communications with an emphasis in public relations.

Prior to coming to work at The Post a little more than 10 years ago, she did some freelancing at the Jackson Free Press. But for most of her life, she enjoyed being a full-time stay at home mom.

Terri is a member of the Crawford Street United Methodist Church. She is a lifetime member of the Vicksburg Junior Auxiliary and is a past member of the Sampler Antique Club and Town and Country Garden Club. She is married to Dr. Walter Frazier.

“From staying informed with local governmental issues to hearing the stories of its people, a hometown newspaper is vital to a community. I have felt privileged to be part of a dedicated team at The Post throughout my tenure and hope that with theirs and with local support, I will be able to continue to grow and hone in on my skills as I help share the stories in Vicksburg. When asked what I like most about my job, my answer is always ‘the people.’
