On June 4th, the alumni and my current royalty court volunteered our time to Feed My Starving Children from 7pm-9pm. We worked fast and efficiently getting all the bags filled, weighed, and sealed to put them in a box! Along with all the other volunteers, we were able to fill enough to feed 43 people for a whole year! I love to volunteer at Feed My Starving Children because not everyone has the nutrition they need, especially when the children are so young and in need of attention. With the help of the nonprofit organization, they can live a more healthy life.

Tonight our royal family attended the Boo Bash held at the Veterans Memorial Community Center. We helped out with arts and crafts, guarded the bouncy house, and busted a move on the dance floor. There were so many great kinds that we got to meet and they ALL had rockin costumes! Our costumes weren’t so bad if I do say so myself! I had a blast talking and joking with everyone. My favorite part was definitely tearing up the dance floor. I had so much fun, this night was definitely fanta-boo-lus!

“Run for the Hills” was the event we attended on October 11, 2014 at Inver Hills Community College. This 5K walk/run is a fundraising event for the college. We started our day at registration where we talked to a lot of the participants, introduced ourselves and wished them luck. Some of the runners and walkers were dressed in cool Halloween costumes. Once the race was underway we went to a water table on the race route to hand out water and cheer them on. We even ran with some of them for a little bit. We met a lot of new people and had a lot of fun. Can’t wait for our next event!

See you soon!

On October 9th, we went to Good Samaritan for the annual spaghetti dinner.  It was a blast!  We helped seat,serve, and then clean up peoples spots and then did it again!  I loved helping out.  It was amazing how many people showed up and I was happy to meet them and help them with dinner.  All the volunteers were wonderful and helped everybody else plus helping us girls with anything we needed, so thank you to all who volunteered.

The only thing brighter than the sun today was the kid’s smiles!  Today, my royal sisters and I had the opportunity to participate in an event called Step Up For Down.  It is a Walk to help raise awareness & money for The Down’s Syndrome Organization.  The walk was around Como Lake and was a total of about 1 1/2 miles!  We had so much fun getting to meet all the amazing kids and playing with them before and during the walk.  One of our favorite things was taking pictures with some of the participants!   This was such a fun experience and I look forward to walking again next year!

On September 18th, I had the pleasure of delivering all of the collected schools supplies that were donated by family, friends, candidates and past royalty. Enough school supplies were collected that each school visited had three boxes each!  I had the pleasure of delivering to Salem Hills Elementary, Hilltop Elementary, Simley High School, Inver Grove Heights Middle School, and Pine Bend Elementary.  I even got to visit the classroom of my 1st grade teacher, I haven’t seen her in 17 years!  Alex and I enjoyed seeing the excitement from teachers and office staff when they received the supplies!

On September 11, 2014 we had the awesome opportunity to go to –not one—but two ribbon cutting events.  The first ribbon cutting was for the re-opening of the Inver Glen Library located on the corner of 80^th Ave and Blaine Ave, my favorite spot in all of Inver Grove.   The new extensions of the library are amazing and the interior is phenomenal. None of this would have been possible without all of the support of the Friends of the Library, Dakota County, the Building contractors and the community.

Our second event was the ribbon cutting of the Inver Grove Heights Early Learning Center located within the new addition at Hilltop Elementary School.  We got to tour the new building and see the classrooms and play area. We also got to hang out and dance with some of the new students that will be attending, which was my favorite part.  I had an awesome time bonding with my new sisters and the many members of our community. Looking back at the moves we were bustin’, this year will be awesome!
