Hi Everyone!
Sorry that it has been such a long time since my last blog but I have been super busy with my title and work! It's crazy that my reign as Ms. Global United will soon be coming to an end as I travel back to Minnesota to help crown the new winners. I can't wait for the week of appearances, volunteer events, and FUN!! I still cannot believe how FAST this year is going! It's true when they say that “Time flys when you are having fun!” In the past few months I have been honored to attend some very special events and appearances throughout my state as Ms Global United 2012!
September 2012:
I started a Toy collection for Wisconsin Hospitals at my employer Anytime Fitness. We involved all 18 locations and our staff and members donated over 500 toys, books, markers, puzzles, and stuffed animals to children in the hospital. It took me 3 packed carloads to deliver the toys to the Milwaukee Children's Hospital and St. Vincent Hospital in Green Bay WI.http://www.stvincenthospital.org/Scripts/pageview.asp?id=375

I was asked to do “Trunk or Treating” with my mom and help provide a safe, fun place for kids to Trick or Treat. We wore our crowns and banners and dressed in MANY warm layers!! We had about 50 youngsters come through by our trunk for some sugary treats. Some of them asked “Where did you get your costumes?” To which we just smiled and explained to their parents that we had actually WON our “costumes” at the Global United Pageant. We loved sharing the details of the pageant and all that it promotes with others at this fun event.

This month was spent preparing for the holidays. There were many of members at the gym and friends and family who didn't have a chance to donate during our Toy Drive... I began collected cash donations and were able to buy $250 in itunes gift cards to donate to Colleen Dooke in St. Vincent Child Life Floor so that the kids could buy games and movies to play on the hospital provided iPads during their stay. http://www.stvincenthospital.org/Scripts/pageview.asp?id=375

February 2013:
I was asked to attend and judge the Fresh Faces pageant in Rockford IL along with my friend Saryna Ritter. It was a long day filled with tons of cutie pies! All the girls were so cute and LOVED trying on my “big girl” crown! I loved seeing all their routines and hard work that they put into decorating their Valentine themed outfits. Afterward they gave all the judges Valentine's … what a sweet idea!!http://internationalfreshfaces.com/illinois/index.html

I was honored to be requested as a judge at the Mrs. Wisconsin United States Pageant. What an experience! These ladies are some serious competitors, volunteers, and accomplished business professionals! I was glad that I was on the judging panel and not the stage! Haha The winner – Aundrea Coon, and I have become quick friends. It's nice to have someone to tag along to appearances and volunteer events. http://www.mrswisconsinpageant.com/

April 2013:
This month has been one of the busiest yet! I completed a food drive through The Arms Forces: http://www.thearmsforces.org/ to provide food and hygiene products to homeless veterans and veterans in need. With the help of my coworkers we collected over 500 food donation items that were distributed throughout the Midwest.

We also collected diapers and female hygiene products as part of our “Diaper Drive” for since moms throughout the Fond du Lac Area. We collected a whole bin to donate.
I also attended The Pageant Event in Milwaukee Wisconsin with two of my BESTIES, Robin Ross Holmes and Wendy Lindberg. This event is great for promoting ANY pageant system or pageant related vendor. Global United had a beautiful booth set up by Wendy to recruit contestants and promote our cause. I promoted my online store and my new website and growing resale business “The Glass Slipper Pageant Resale Shop” which can be found online atwww.TheGlassSlipperPageantResale.com or on facebook. We participated in a fashion show and visited with close friends for the afternoon.
The following week I attended a Lunch event called “The Power of the Purse” put on by the Women's Fund in Fond du Lac. This fundraiser helps raise money for grants for women in need throughout the Fond du Lac community.
