Subject: Miss Venezuela Confirmed not to be competing! Author: Ray Tangga [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 20:34:50 05/15/03 Thu The Miss Universe Organization confirmed today that Venezuela will not be represented at this year's competition being broadcast June live on June 3rd in Panama. Paula Shugart, President of the Miss Universe Organization, announced today that she received a letter on the morning of May 14 from Venevision on behalf of the Miss Venezuela Organization stating that it's impossible for them to send a delegate to participate on this year's contest. The letter further stated that this decision was made after exhausting all options and despite the joint efforts of Venevision and the Miss Universe Organization. The letter concluded with a note that hopefully the political and economic situation in Venezuela will allow them to participate in next year's pageant. Shugart added, "We are all saddened that Mariangel Ruiz, Miss Venezuela 2003, will not be participating. Venezuela has a strong following and the country's absence this year will be deeply felt". The 52nd Annual Miss Universe Pageant is scheduled to air live on NBC June 3rd, at 9:00 pm EST. (GLOBAL BEAUTIES). [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
