Happy Thursday everyone!

I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't actually remember a time where the formation of a pageant system was announced in my lifetime. So, it's a pretty big deal. I want to congratulate the Aldersons, the folks that were involved with TN previously, Suzi Doland, and everyone else that worked to make this happen. I commend them all. You know, I really admire people with a vision. Very well done, and the Volunteer America system has the full support of this board. I think the only thing I would like to see is Kerri Arnold have a chance to go to the first of many Volunteer America pageants and even if she has to compete at large, I think she deserves a chance to compete for the national title. And maybe by next March, they may even have a TV home! Congratulations to everyone who made this happen, and you have an army of support behind you.

[> [> Subject: Me as well. I would suspect that you will see crossovers from MAO and USA, but I think it will be more MAO contestants who want to compete in the traditional program. But, I think that if they cross back over to the MAO they will be blackballed. I can almost bet that heads are exploding at the MAO right now about this.

[> [> [> [> Subject: How do you think the actual MAO will fare? Will they face even further loss of contestants? I say yes. And also consider-Allison DeMarcus has a good in with CMT. This pageant could actually be aired on television. That would likely make it appealing. Also, if she starts now with the country music community and promotion, there will likely be some interest. The big thing right now is getting this in the public's attention. I think it can happen.

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: I thought we didn't see or hear much about Nia. We hear ZERO about Camille. Nothing. I don't even think she was invited to the Hallmark channel, and they usually always have the new Miss America on their show. It's 2 and a half months and we hear NOTHING about Camille, but there are likely very few events being booked for her. And if she can't bring in large sponsors with her being invovled in the pharmaceutical industry, this is not good. I have heard rumors about Volunteer charging a "fee" to compete, but that's fine. Why not? At least they are being transparent about it and not calling it a donation to charity. Just be honest. If MAO pays NBC it may be on next year, they'll take the money on a very obscure night some night god knows when. But it's just limping along.
