Subject: What really scary is that some of the best girls in evening gown, OSQ really fell flat in talent. So it’s for me all jumbled up with a winner.

[> [> [> Subject: The quantity over quality model isn’t impressive. 15 or more in each division don’t have what it takes for state level competition. Too many candidates and so many are WEAK.

[> [> [> [> Subject: It’s quite impressive when they are able to award 60k in scholarships. I just really hope a girl wins who truly needs it! Author: No name [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Thursday, June 27, 11:53:28pm [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: that $60K was from one donor that specified the entire amount had to go to the winner. Don't give the leadership too much credit. The finances of this program are built on the backs of the contestants. Ad sales, hotel kick backs, CMN, ticket sales, people's choice. Give the credit where the credit is due.

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Exactly what I was doing. All these fluff contestants do add to the program. They help by contributing add pages CMN funds etc etc which on turn helps provide impressive scholarship amounts.

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: I believe fluff being used here was in response to the above reference of quantity contestants And was actually being used to defend the program and it’s amazing ability to offer so much scholarships. Which would not be possible without the so called quantity contestants. And yes, aside from what they help contribute they also gain as well in new friendships, confidence and lifelong skills they takeaway from what they learn through their participation. And We have all seen girls who would have probably been considered quantity girls from you come back multiple times and improve each time. So it’s proof they grow and learn from the process.
