Ruby's Pantry

It was  few weeks ago, but I am finally updating. I volunteered at Ruby's Pantry which is very similar to a food shelf, but they feed anyone who eats. There is no income guidlines and is not a hand out but a hand up! It was so much fun!!! Take a look........

Optimist Club

So I have been really busy finishing up with school, so it has been hard to update.


About 2 weeks ago I was invited to speak at the new Optimist Club here in Brainerd. I was able to tell them about my platform (Locks of Love), CMN, and the Miss America Organization. It was started about two weeks before I spoke and there, so far, there are about 6 members. Hailey VanSteenwyk (Miss Baxter) was also able to speak for the group the week before I did. It was a small meeting, close quarters, but easy to speak because it was a very relaxing setting. It was fun to see that there are new clubs coming to the Brainerd area! I wish the Optimist Club good luck! And thank you!!
