Queen For A Day - California Chapter

I just applied to be the Director of the Queen For A Day in California. Don't know what it is?

Queen For A Day was founded by Jenna Edwards (Miss Florida 2004). QFAD hosts parties at hospitals with pediatric oncology/cancer units or out-patient clinics. When Queen for a Day comes to the hospital, we give the patients a reason to be a kid again. We host tea parties for girls to be pampered with makeovers, manicures, and their very own coronation ceremony. Each patient receives a real tiara donated by beauty queens across the nation! When a child smiles in the mirror after her makeover and laughs, she has defeated her illness. The Queen for a Day crown symbolizes victory as she is a champion over her illness.

For the boys, we encourage the qualities of bravery and courage through the Heroes program based on firefighters and police officers. We invite local heroes to attend the event to tell heroic stories and develop a friendship with the patients. Patients receive firefighter hats, badges, and other hero-themed gifts. Heroes is a recent addition to the Queen for a Day program, but has proved popular among patients, hospitals, and communities across the nation.

Hopefully I get accepted to the position and can promote this wonderful program in the Southern California area! And if any local title holders (current or former) would liketo participate, please e-mail me at btwilinski@gmail.com.

Miss Fur Rondy Pageant

I'm feeling very honoured to be a part of a committee to revise the Miss Fur Rondy pageant! It hasn't been done in 15 years - last year they brought it back (but choose simply thru interview), but this year will be a full out pageant. Primarily all the people selected to be on the pageant committee are all former title holders. As a volunteer escort last year, it was fulfilling to be a part of the resurection of the title. But to be able to assist in the rebuilding of the pageant is utterly fabulous! We are hoping to have some wonderful contestants from all over Alaska and all walks of life! If anyone is interested, they can get an application at www.furrondy.net
