CHANGES TO THE SCHEDULE!!!

Hi Ladies!  I made a couple of changes to our schedule.  The opening meeting will NOT be the 22nd.  We will be meeting on Tuesday August 20th at 7:00 pm at the Hampton Inn.  And the next meeting will be WEDNESDAY August 28th at 6:00 pm. The rest of the dates will remain the same :) Hope to see you there!!

Welcome!

Hello everyone!  First, I just want to express my excitement for the pageant this year!  This is such a wonderful opportunity for young women to grow, serve their community, and showcase their talents - and let's not forget the scholarship money... Who doesn't love that? ;)  Also, I want to apologize for getting the information up so late - I know I told a few of you I'd have it up at the first of July.... Whoops....Well, better late than never I guess :)  So here is an outline of what is to come in the next couple of months.  These dates may be subject to change, but we will let you know in plenty of time if they do.  Because we are not meeting for another month, I would encourage all of you to begin preparation now.  You can do that by practicing for your talent (Talent can be NO LONGER than 90 seconds) and coming up with a platform (and becoming actively involved with it) if you haven't already.  Please feel free to contact me via email with any questions, or if you are needing help finding/formulating a platform, and anything else you need to help prepare. You can email me at missironcounty@gmail.com.  I really look forward to meeting with all of you!
