Tonight I went to the Moorpark City Council Meeting to speak on behalf of the Ventura/Santa Barbara Scholarship Association; we are in need of funds to keep giving our contestants scholarships for their education! I also had the honor and pleasure of leading the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of the meeting! I wish I had some pictures to post of me speaking, but it was not appropriate to take pictures during the meeting...
I spoke about my experience competing and how much I have taken from my time with the Miss America Organization. I also spoke about how important our organization is and the invaluable skills us contestants learn while preparing for the pageant: interview skills, communication skills, the ability to bring oneself to an interview, and how to present oneself in public with poise and grace. Finally, I spoke on how vital it is for the community of Ventura County to come together and help keep our pageant running... hopefully the City Council will be the first step! =)
Tonight was my first step in addressing each of the City Councils in Ventura County and raising awareness for our organization; hopefully this will not only bring more scholarship funds to our organization but will also recruit more contestants throughout the county!
