Boy Scouts of America annual auction

I had the privilege of attending the Boy Scouts of America annual auction on Saturday. My husband Mark is an Assistant Scout Master for Pack 90. We so enjoy going to these events and supporting our local Boy Scouts. My son, Teague is now is Weebelo 1! It is so hard for me to stop calling him a "Cub" Scout! He is always quick to remind me "MOM! I am a BOY Scout now!!" I am so very proud of him for continuing his journey with the Scouts to become an Eagle Scout. My father was an Eagle Scout so it is something that has been important to my family and I for decades. We are happy to support anyway we can, and tonight was extra special because one of the hosts for the evening was King 5's Jeff Renner. He is an Eagle Scout as well. It was a fantastic evening, and I even was able to purchase some amazing artwork! I can't wait to redecorate my house with it!!

Why I compete in the Mrs. Washington Pageant.....

The Mrs. Washington Pageant is all about making a difference in your community. I love that instead of a talent, this is the foundation of our pageant and all of the contestants are accomplished married women whom are active in helping to better their communities.

I took a year off from competing, but did not take any time off from developing and implementing my platform, "Massage on a Mission".

My Health and Wellness platform has evolved and also become a missional opportunity for me to help and support several different charities and organizations by donating chair massage, massage gift certificates for auctions, and educating others about the power of touch in relation to their health.
I have been able to recruit fellow massage practitioners in my community who help me provide chair massage at these fundraising events. This has been so exciting because we are now able to make a bigger impact. I can only imagine what we could do at a national level!

In these tough economic times, I have found the number one issues facing non-profits and charitable organizations is that the amount of cash donations has significantly decreased. I feel my platform is not only viable in helping people feel better, but also a way to help ANY organization raise funds for their vitally important causes.
