I apologize for being so behind in my blog! I have a lot to catch you all up on; I’ve just been so busy with school and exams. On March 20, my grandmother and I went to the Palm Beach County Cattle Baron’s Ball for the American Cancer Society. There I was able to help with the silent auction and sell roses that people purchase in honor or memory of a loved one.
The next night Anastagia and I got to go to the Mara-a- Lago Club and help with the benefit for the Able Trust Foundation. It was an exciting event where Anastagia and I were able to greet all of the guest as they came in and we also helped with the auction.
On March 22 Anastagia had her going away send off at Dave and Busters in Hollywood. It was a really fun event where we all gathered to wish Anastagia the best of luck. Many of the local queens were in attendance to show their support.
On April 16 my mom and I flew to Las Vegas to watch Miss USA and support Anastagia. It was a really great experience, especially since it was my first time to Las Vegas! There I got to meet a lot of the other state teens and have a great photo shoot with Fadil. While there I also participated in Fashion Rocks the Universe, the True Beauty Expo, and the Brighton brunch put on for the teens. It was a great experience to go the Miss USA show, Anastagia did a fantastic job!
The weekend of April 24th I attended the Miss Orlando Pageant where I got to speak for a few moments about my year and experiences at Miss USA. Congratulations Frank for putting on another great pageant.
On the 26th I had a great time attending the Friendship Ball for the Best Buddies Organization. I had a great time crowning all of the new queens and kings of the night and had a fabulous time talking to the kids. They all truly are really great!
