I would like to say thank you to everyone who helped me with this pageant. The pageant is just a few short days away, I'm excited, nervous and ready all at the same time. This is something I would love be, Mrs. Virginia, if the time is not right that will be fine. I wish all the other delegates all the best of luck! See you all on May 2nd in beautiful Williamsburg.

NCVRW

Today, April 26, 2009, I walked for the NCVRW, National Crime Victim's Rights Week. I walked 1o laps for the case of child and teen victimization. It was a beautiful day, so it made it much more than just walking it was about helping.

The Womanless Beauty Pageant

I was a special guest at the first Ms. Patrick County Womanless Beauty Pageant. This was a exciting, crazy and fun-filled fundraising event. This pageant helped to raise money for the S.C.A.T. program, or the after-prom committee. A lot of money was raised, along with every one's spirits. What a fun-filled evening!
