Miss Manchester 2010!

1) IT'S GO TIME
2) What a way to start off the new year!
3) Thank you to the 5 people who decided that I could do the job of Miss Manchester
4) I was in the paper twice in 2010 and it's only been 3 days!!! How COOL

Ok so I say it's go time because now that I am Miss Manchester the count down starts for Miss NH 2010! I am so excited for the competition and to be a part of such an amazing production. The moment Jamie Staton says "This is it" (or something along those lines) and the music pounds and I remember my first dance moves (yes it takes a lot of concentration) my heart pounds and I can't wait to hear the crowd cheer! It's such a good feeling something that's hard to describe.

So really as we all know different day different judges different winner. It could be anyone and I really thank those 5 judges for everything. It's going to be a great year. I have already thought about what I can do in the Manchester area! Did you know the NH FOOD BANK is in MANCHESTER...how perfect! I woke up yesterday to an email from Melanie Gosselin, the ED of the NH Food Bank wishing me luck and thanking Kelsey and me for our donation. She said "It's the work that our community does that makes what we do possible."

I woke up today with an email from Michele Garron the Operations Manager of the NH Food Bank she wanted to congratulate me on winning Miss Manchester and she said: "If you need any support from the NH Food Bank please let me know and again thank you for your continued support of our program. I am sure with your talent and dedication you will go far!"

These two women have really done great work at the Food Bank. As far as I am concerned we have the hardest working staff in all of America. We have a garden which produces fresh food to be distributed to food pantries across the state, we have a beautiful kitchen that is a job training facility, check out their website it's just amazing what they have done.

It is nice to know that after four long and hard years of working for the Food Bank they truly believe in me, support me, and know that the work I have done has been because I love to do it!

I am thankful for the opportunity to work in the Manchester Community, to work with Debbie to prepare for Miss NH, and thankful for one last chance to be Miss New Hampshire.

Cheers to 2010
over and out
