I've been slacking a tiny bit regarding updating you on appearances. So, I've decided to create one big blog post to let you know what I've been up to. A separate blog will be posted in the near future to give you details on my Miss Massachusetts 2013 pageant experience, which was absolutely incredible. All I can say is if you are eligible to compete in the Miss America system, you must do so. It's such life changing opportunity and it makes you a better person.
Read the posts below to learn about my June/July appearances!
NSTAR Walk for Children's Hospital Boston 6/9/13
Local Miss MA Contestants |
with a dear friend of mine, Mei-Lin |
Contestants must raise money for CMN in order to qualify to compete at an MAO local. I had fantastic time with my fellow sister queens at a water station where we kept the walkers hydrated. I also was able to help pass out snacks. I throughly enjoyed myself and loved the experience knowing I was helping raise money, so children can have healthier and brighter futures.
Cambridge Family & Children's Service Banquet 6/11/13
I was invited to be a special guest at CFCS Banquet. I enjoyed spending time with the guests, taking pictures, signing autographs and speaking about the Miss America Organization. It was a really cool experience, because I also got to greet guests as they arrived in style by limo. It was a Hollywood themed party, so guests walked the red carpet and were given a catered meal with delicious dessert. Too bad I was in pageant mode then, so I had to watch the dinner commence from a far. However, I still had a blast brightening everyone's day. Thank you so much to CFCS for having me! You've been such a pleasure to work with :-)
Zinga Fundraiser 6/12/13
I held a fundraiser at Zinga! Frozen Yogurt in Kenmore Square. This is my absolute favorite frozen yogurt place around. It also happens to be a Miss Boston/Cambridge sponsor. I decided to have a fundraiser at Zinga! to raise money for Children's Miracle Network. The fundraiser was fun, because I got to stand out on the sidewalk and hand out free samples in my crown and sash. I know the public enjoyed that..haha. Most of them didn't know who I was, so it allowed me the opportunity to introduce myself to a new community and make friends. I was able to meet my goal of raising over $600 for CMN.
Dedham Flag Day Parade 6/14/13
Dedham Flag Day Parade |
Thank you New England Corvette Rentals for the ride |
This was also a great bonding experience for Victoria and I because soon after we would become roommates for Miss MA week.
We promised each other a cheat meal after the pageant was complete. I know that will happen in the near future. What a memorable flay day!

Cambridge Ride & Run 6/23/13

Speaking to a participant |
I helped out with awarding each child a metal as they crossed the finish line. I also was a part of the official awards ceremony at the end of the event. Also, we had a celebrity in town who took part in the festivities.
Mario Lopez of ExtraTV stopped by to enjoy the fun. He announced the start of the races and also handed out metals with me. What a cool experience. I also met up with Cambridge Mayor Henrietta Davis. It's always a pleasure to see her. I absolutely love the Cambridge community!
Did you know Cambridge was voted the most walkable city in America? Soon, hopefully Cambridge will also be voted one of the most bike-able and healthy cities as well!
