I just returned from the Mrs International pageant held this past weekend at Skokie, Illinois. I felt so privileged to meet so many accomplished ,beautiful women who continue day in and day out to do so much for their community. I also learned so much about this pageant system and now grow to love it more each day. I only hope and pray that I will be the one privileged to represent Florida next year at this event.
I want to express a big thank you to Ashley and Joe Macguire/ They really made me feel like part of the "Maguire Posse" while I was in Chicago. I am grateful for your new friendship that this pageant has brought into my life.
It was very exciting to hear that the Mrs. International organization has joined forces with the American Heart Association and now we will be a working very closely with the go red for women national campaign to bring awareness to the biggest killer of women .

This cause is also dear to my heart since most of my family on my father's side have died young from heart attacks and hypertension is so prevalent in my family.
Laine Berry the new Mrs International 2008 has been working for this cause for the last 10 yrs. I was so impressed with Mrs Georgia . She shares the pains and challenges with Rheumatoid Arthritis as I do. I could not resist walking up to her and introducing myself and sharing my story with her. We were limited in time but I will be in touch with her to see how we can join forces in our advocacy with The Arthritis Foundation.
