Metropolitan City Council Meeting Baton Rouge, LA


Mayor Kip Holden of Baton Rouge, LA

Marcus Spears (Dallas Cowboys), myself, Michael Clayton (Tampa Bay Bucs)

I was graciously invited to attend the July 22nd city council meeting in Baton Rouge, LA. To my surprise, it was proclaimed Mrs. Louisiana America- Jennifer McLain Armond Day for the community involvement as Mrs. LA. That evening I was in the presence of some young teen leaders who were being recognized for their outstanding committment to leadership. I also had the opportunity to meet two former LSU football players Marcus Spears now of the Dallas Cowboys and Michael Clayton of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They were being honored as well for their football camp that was held earlier this summer for the Baton Rouge area youth. It was also declared their day as well, but as an avid football fan, I was thrilled to share the day and the stage with them both.

Talk of the Town- Radio Show- July 18th

I recently had the opportunity to visit with Tom Pace on the local radio station 1340AM here in NW LA and had some great conversations about the Mrs. America pageant, life in general, and of course MENC & skin cancer prevention. 2 topics very dear to my heart. You can hear the interview through the link provided (I hope???) Enjoy!
That is Gabriel with me, he had to see what this was all about! He then went shopping with NaNa- Thanks for being such a big help to me!
