Suzanne for Senior America 2015
Donation protected
Hi!
I've just been appointed Ms Oregon Senior America 2015! I'm hoping you can help me represent Oregon and compete in the Ms. Senior America 2015 pageant in Atlantic City, NJ in October. This pageant is more than a "beauty pageant". Senior America is a re-affirmation of life and self worth, of laughter and tears, of inner beauty and outward charm. It is a national, not-for-profit organization which presents the positive aspects of aging and acts as an educator.
The Ms. Senior America Pageant allows us to celebrate the vitality of today's senior woman and to applaud her accomplishments in the community, state, and nation. The national finals will be held in Atlantic City, NJ in October 2015, and my cost will be $3000 (including the Ms. Oregon Senior America pageant cost). Every dollar you contribute will be one less dollar for me to pay from my already small single-woman savings.
I was married for 30 years, and raised and homeschooled my four children (two are still living with me). During most of the past 35 years, I have also volunteered for many non-profit and political organizations, including being: Friendly Caller, Meals Deliverer for Volunteers of America, Newsletter Editor for several political and non-profits, Homeschool group Art Teacher, OR State Director for CWA, Legislaive Liaison for OR Mothers of America, Political Campaign Manager, lobbyist and graphic artist, Communications Director for four groups, ESL teacher for Los Los Niños Cuentan, and currently Baton Twirler for the Beat Goes On Marching Band and the One More Time Around Again Marching Band.
I have fulfilled my dream for marrying and being a mother. And, now would like to accomplish another goal ... to show everyone that life doesn't end at 60, or after a divorce, that a woman can still be beautiful, energetic, healthy, and valuable to her community. I have passionately lived a full, exciting life, which was sometimes painful. But, my Lord has carried me through the rough times (and changes), and I am in a very happy place now, here in Happy Valley, Oregon. Things can change. But, life is great! Would you join me in celebrating this philosphy?
"Success is getting what you want. But, happiness is liking what you get."
Would you please contribute to my goal of becoming the next Ms. Senior America? I would be deeply grateful if you did!
Your contribution will help pay for:
Ms. Oregon Senior America application fee
Ms. Senior America application fee
Evening gown, costume & extras
Airline tickets & other transportation
Meals
Photography
Printing
Appearances in Oregon costs
Let's win at the national pageant. Go Oregon!
Thank you so much!
Very truly yours,
Suzanne Stoker
