Visits and Pre-Pageant Clinic

My reign may be coming to an end, but I've still been busy with appearances- each one very rewarding! I just recently visited Wiscasset High School to speak to the students there about America's Promise and the importance of aftershcool programs. They were a great audience and the students and teachers were all so kind!

I also made a trip up to Newport to visit students. I hosted the Crossroads Talent Show and had the opportunity to speak about my platform there as well. I saw some future stars!

This past Saturday was the Miss Maine Organization's annual Pre- Pageant Clinic. There, I met (most) of the 2007 Miss Maine contestants. The day is a critique for them in all areas of competition as they get to know one another before they compete. It seems like yesterday I was just there! It's amazing how fast time flies.

At night, the organization hosted the annual Springtime Gala. There, we had a nice dinner and friends and family had the opportunity to see the contestants perform. I had the chance to perform and speak about my year as well.
