Farm Show

Today my sister and I visited at the Green Acres Farm Show, here are a few of the young ladies I got to chat with. I'm hoping to see them compete in the Miss America system down the road!

Misses of Missouri Send Off Party!

Yesterday, I traveled out to Hannibal, Missouri to help out with the send off party for my little sister queens who will be competing at Misses of Missouri! I had a blast helping them with mock interviews, walking, talent and much more. They will do an awesome job representing Heartland.

Summer Update!

Recently, I had to get a bone scan because my doctor thought that I had stress fracture in my hip! Thankfully, this was not the case; the doctor thinks that I just over used my hip with basketball, weight lifting, and Running Club. He told me to rest up, and that is what I have been doing. In my spare time I made a scrapbook for myself and my sister queen to make sure that we remember all the amazing details of  Miss Missouri week.

Another volunteer opp

If you are in our area, here is another chance to help out,

Email I received:

AFL-CIO Community Services is preparing to distribute shoes for our Soles For Christ Shoe Program in August.  We are in need of volunteers and are asking if you would consider helping us out.  Last year over 1,000 pairs of shoes were given out to students so you can imagine how many hands it takes to get all those feet fitted with new shoes.  Please keep in mind that this is a very busy, hands-on volunteer job.  There will be hundreds of people here and you will need to be able to bend and be up and down a lot.  We will have a few positions available at the registration table for those who would like to volunteer but need to be seated.

The schedule to organize and give out shoes is as follows:

Friday, August 3

9am - 1pm  -   Set up and organize the shoes

Monday, August 6

8am - 4pm – Register, size, fit and distribute shoes

Tuesday, August 7

8am – 6pm – Register, size, fit and distribute shoes

If you would be willing to help us out during any of the above times, please email me with the times that will work for you.  If you prefer you can call me at the number below to schedule a time.  After I get everyone scheduled I will email a master work schedule and more information to all of the volunteers.

Thanks to all who have volunteered for us in the past and thanks in advance to those who may be considering volunteering.  I can guarantee you will see lots of smiles on faces as the kids get their new shoes.  It’s a wonderful program!!!

Preparing for the Doll Opening at the musuem

St Joseph Museums Inc recently took in the doll collection from the Society of Memories, and that is a bunch of dolls. So a grand opening was held, and a fund-raiser for the Doll Club. My mom was in charge of crafts, so my sister and I helped prepare a bunch of crafts for the July 7 opening.

Each girl made and outfit for their doll and got a pair of doll gloves to decorate, plus tea tuffets and a mug/saucer.

A reception was held after the craft event. Museum volunteers set a pink table full of pink cupcakes and pink lemonade.
