Subject: Is Kids USA going under???????

Just wondering why such a grounded system can't keep their website up and running???? I like to check in with it once in a while and see what is happening, but I am losing faith. This is not the first time that their site has been down and I am really starting to doubt all of the great things that everyone has to say. Also, I have contacted them by phone several times and no response. I think that my gut instinct may have been correct. Darn...I was hoping it was wrong.

I use this site ALL the time and I have not seen it down! It is kidsusapageant.com-hope that is the address you are using! Kids USA is going strong, the last few months of the year are usually slower but things will go full-swing after the holidays. I know phone calls are being returned, I have received them back. Please re-check the site, pictures and everything are updated too! (NT) -- No name, 17:14:29 12/19/04 Sun (cache-ntc-ac02.proxy.aol.com/198.81.26.71)
The Director has always been really good at getting back to phone calls so I would try again and be certain to leave your phone number clearly. I know that sometimes when I get messages from people I can't understand them. LOL This system is hardly going under. If you look at the calendar on their website you will see how active a system this is. They will be taking AZ state royalty girls to California between Christmas until New Years. We are going with them in March on the Bahamas trip too. Should be a blast! Just try to call once more because JS is really good at getting back with you.

I'm not sure but I know I tried to get them to come to my state. The national director and I talked several times then she just quit communicating with me. I could tell she was reading my e-mails but never responded. It seemed like a good system but for some reason she is only interested in certain states being there. If she wants to build this pageant she needs to be open to more states being involved. I thought it was very rude of her to stop communicating with me for no reason.

I know I personally tried to bring this pageant system to my state. I spoke to the national director several times then she just stopped communicating with me out of the blue. I would send her e-mails and I know she was reading them but never responding. I thought it was very rude. If she wants to build her system she needs to bring more states into the program.

I don't know about any of those problems. But it is obvious by pictures of the royalty in Disnayland that they are NOT interested in getting along with other systems in Arizona. Talk about innappropriate t-shirts on the girls while they were in Build-A-Bear. Just goes to show exactly what JS is like.

- CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT??????? Beware of any system that will use your child as a billboard of spite!!!!! You are right!!!! Just goes to show what kind of per son JS is!!! So, come on you KIDS USA people!!!! How can defend her now? This is an obvious low class blow that shows, once again, what a low class system this is. Look for yourself....they even have pictures of the girls in what appears to a movie theater...they all look like a bunch of poorly groomed girls, some of them have bare feet...WITH THEIR CROWNS ON!!!! Give me a break! (NT) -- No name, 09:54:15 01/11/05 Tue (ip68-0-139-22.tc.ph.cox.net/68.0.139.22)
- I just looked at those pictures..that is absolutely AWFUL...shame on them!!! I thought all of the Cinderella vs. Kids USA had died down...obviously JS isn't doing as well and is trying to start the feud all over...so unclassy!!!

- The shirts innapprpriate?? Really, there just in good fun, get a sense of humor. (NT) -- No name, 11:15:13 01/12/05 Wed (ip68-99-213-9.ph.ph.cox.net/68.99.213.9)
Those so called "inappropriate" t-shirts were purchased at Libby Lou's Boutique, not custom made. I think this is hilarious because when I first saw them, I knew someone would bitch about it and here it is! Wow, didn't take long at all! No harm in the shirts, it is all in fun and you had to say something. Figures!! (NT) -- No name, 06:45:32 01/11/05 Tue (cache-ntc-ac02.proxy.aol.com/198.81.26.71)
I was pretty shocked by the T-shirts. Click in. -- No name, 12:51:46 01/11/05 Tue (ip68-2-132-149.ph.ph.cox.net/68.2.132.149)
JS is losing people in droves. I have no personal experience with Kids USA but there are some pretty disgruntled people out there - poor money management from what I have heard. (NT) -- No name, 10:31:13 01/26/05 Wed (ip68-2-132-149.ph.ph.cox.net/68.2.132.149)
