Greetings!
After a restful yet productive spring break with my amazing family and friends, I am definitely geared up for some great spring events! This coming weekend of April 1-3, the Committee of 19 at Auburn is putting on the 3rd Annual Hunger March. We will march from Auburn to Notasulga starting at noon, and then participate in numerous community service and development projects throughout the weekend. I cannot wait to update you all on the great results that are sure to come from this experience.
Please register for the Hunger March if you haven't done so already. Registering is easy and there are so many wonderful people eager to help you with the process. Visit Spidle 210 on Auburn's campus and get involved in this once in a lifetime experience!
And don't forget about the Miss Auburn University Pancake Breakfast on April 16th!! I will be hosting a pancake breakfast the morning of A-day at Longhorn Steakhouse in Tigertown from 7:30-10. Tickets are only 5 dollars and may be purchased from myself or can be purchased at the door. It should be a great Auburn atmosphere and perfect for the morning of A-day.
A big kudos to all those who participated in the Big Event and especially to those who were involved in organizing it! So many great projects were occurring all over Lee County and so many lives were positively impacted. I had the pleasure of both volunteering at the East Alabama Food Bank and helping out around Notasulga High School. At Notasulga, I met so many amazing people and was even asked to serve as their graduation speaker, which I am honored to do. Volunteers painted the interior, put up new signs, landscaped, and put up inspirational power words throughout the building.
I spent my time helping with landscaping and painting the railing at the entrance of the school. It was amazing to see what the hard work of passionate students can accomplish and how important this sense of community really is. I'm sure more details are to come regarding the specific accomplishments of yesterday afternoon.
Register for Hunger March or contact Spidle 210 to donate to the endeavors of all of these passionate students and get your ticket for the Miss AU Pancake Breakfast!
With Love and War Eagle!

Beginning of the Miss Alabama Journey
Greetings!
This week was full of new experiences for me, and I have enjoyed and grown from every aspect of it.
My head shots this Monday with the wonderful Frank Carnaggio were amazing. I had a blast working with Frank and I am definitely going to have a hard time narrowing down the photos to just a few! I knew that I would have a good time and enjoy the experience, but I could not have predicted how much fun it would be.
I hope everyone took advantage of National Pancake Day at IHOP and donated to their local Children's Miracle Network hospital! I had a great time at the IHOP in Auburn, and the staff was so incredible and helped me to donate my services in the best way possible. I was able to serve as a hostess for part of the night and even got to flip a few pancakes. Greeting people and meeting new people was a lot of fun, and I really enjoyed being a part of such a successful fundraiser for CMN. I was honored to be able to encourage people to donate to such an incredibly worthy cause and to feel as though I had played a small role in making the day a success.
On the Friday night before Miss Alabama Orientation, I got to de-stress at the 80s prom on campus. Dressing up and dancing to some 80s music was a great way to let loose after a busy week at school. UPC did a great job and I know that those who came by had a fabulous time being a little silly for the night.
Miss Alabama Orientation on Saturday was so exciting!! Meeting all the girls was so amazing, and I cannot wait to see everyone again on workshop weekend. I am now more excited than ever for the pageant in June and to compete again. Even though most of what we talked about was paperwork and technicalities, it still made the whole experience seem so much more real.
And a big congratulations to the new Miss Alabama's Outstanding Teen that was crowned this afternoon in Sylacauga. I had the pleasure of being there for the pageant and enjoying a very entertaining show and cheering on some amazingly talented young ladies. I also get a kick out of giving a big "War Eagle!" to an auditorium full of people. All in all, kudos to the MOAT team and to all the contestants for such an enjoyable afternoon.
Can't wait for some more new experiences!
