Miss Winter Park...Week Two

Week two of my reign as Miss Winter Park was very eventful and filled with many appearances! On Tuesday, March 1st, I woke up before the sun was up and went to a local Ihop to help promote Children's Miracle Network during Ihop's National Pancake Day. I was so glad that I had taken the Children's Miracle Network Tour at Arnold Palmer Hospital the week before because it helped me promote CMN the best way possible! I was able to answer many questions that people had about the organization

The following day I met with my sister queens, executive director, members of the Miss Winter Park board, and some of our moms for dinner at Olive Garden. It was the first time that we all were together since the pageant. We made small talk and then talked about our game plan for the year. We discussed some big appearances that we wanted to make and about how to reconnect the people of Winter Park to the pageant. Oh! I also coined our team name that night: Team W.P.C.B! (Winter Park, City Beautiful) Below is a photo of us making our team sign! Hehe!

The rest of the week was packed with school work and then the weekend FINALLY came!

Friday, after class, I drove home to Kissimmee, picked up my sister, and went to visit my Lola Doray at Plantation Bay Nursing Home. We came just in time to have dinner with her. My favorite moment of the evening was when she winked at my sister and I. I winked back. Unfortunately, Samantha doesn't know how to wink so my Lola Doray then tried to teach her how to do so. It was the most adorable thing to watch :-)

Saturday morning, Sara (Miss City Beautiful) and I went to the XL106.7 Studios to help out the crew with Operation Princess Project. This project was started by Jayde from the Johnny and Jayde Morning Show. They hosted an evening gown drive where they collected over 3000 gowns. The Saturday that Sara and I came to help, was the day that girls from all over Florida came to find a FREE prom gown! As we know, prom gowns can be very expensive and this was a wonderful way to help make girls' prom dreams come true.
