Speaking at the Bartlesville Kiwanis Club!

I just had the opportunity to speak at local service club - the Kiwanis. I must say, if you want to know some of the hard-workers in our area who create wonderful community events - this is the place to go! I could tell from the minute I arrived, just how seriously these folks take volunteering and community service.

Lauri Rottmayer, and myself were able to share about the Mrs. Oklahoma International Pageant, and what my platform and goals are for my role as Mrs. Bartlesville 2011. It was a great experience, and the audience was extremely receptive.

For a wonderful Fourth of July Experience, come see the Kiwanis Club in action at Freedom Fest on July 4th at 6PM in downtown Bartlesville!

Head Shots! Thank You AJ Studios!!

I recently had my head shots done by AJ Studios. I have been so blessed, as Andrew Simons graciously provided me with the photography session as a sponsor in my Mrs. Bartlesville/Mrs. Oklahoma journey! On a personal note, Andy has taught me and mentored me in the basics of photography in my own business over the years. He does amazing work! Here are a couple shots from my session!

Getting Started

Things, they are a-changing! I have just begun the amazing journey of fulfilling the role of Mrs. Bartlesville 2011. I am looking forward to getting out and advocating the issues that are important to me. I have been doing so much preparation for my upcoming speaking engagements and title duties.

My platform will be advocating for the at-risk kids in our area, those that give of their time and resources to make our community a better place, and the United Way agencies that support them!Already I have been blessed just by meeting some of the non-profit agency directors. I have learned so much about programs that target kids, and just how much of an impact that the volunteers have on children who need some guidance, and emotional support.

I can already tell this is going to be a life-changing year for me!
