Hi Everyone!
I’ve had the opportunity to make a lot of great and unique appearances since my last post! I served as the Grand Marshall of Hammond’s Krewe of Omega Mardi Gras Parade and also rode in the Hammond Developmental Center’s Mardi Gras Parade. I LOVE Mardi Gras, so being a part of both parades was a lot of fun! I also had the pleasure of emceeing and singing for the Miss Minden Pageant. I had a wonderful time in Minden, but I was also a little sad to be emceeing my last prelim for the year ;( Now that all of the preliminaries are over, I am looking so forward to the State Meeting in April! I can’t wait to meet all of the new contestants and catch up with some of my old friends!
Rounding out this past week, I had two great opportunities to talk about my platform. First, I spoke to Ms. Lynn Copeland’s teaching sorority about Tourette Syndrome. They were extremely receptive and a wonderful group to meet. Just yesterday, I was a guest on a Canadian Radio Show, talking about my experiences with Tourettes. The Radio Show features a one hour medical segment every Saturday, where special guests discuss different health-related issues with two doctors. So as one of the guests on this week’s show, I did a 15-minute interview about my platform that aired live, throughout Canada!
Now I’m moving on to another busy week in March! This month is getting crazy! Talk to you all soon!
