My Visit to Washington and Oregon

In November I traveled to Washington and Oregon for a business trip. While I was there I got to spend some time with Mrs. Washington Carla Richards. We had a fabulous dinner and I got to meet her family. Then I traveled down to Portland where I attended an awards dinner for EDI and got to meet SURVIVOR runner up and most loved Character, Yau-Man Chan. 

Grand Opening Pablo's Cantina

I was so honored to be invited to attend the pre-Grand opening of Pablo's Cantina in Ward Center. The owner's mother was the very first Mrs. Hawaii. Mannon Smith was there on hand to greet guest along with entertainment by Rolando Sanchez. It was a very fun evening not to mention the food is great! Enjoy the photos.

Filming of a PSA for MDA

I was so thrilled when former Mrs. Hawaii Aulii called and asked if I would be a part of the Muscular Dystrophy Association's PSA for their Lucky We Live Hawaii Pau Hana Concert, which will be held on November 5th at the Honolulu Hale.
Some of you have already seen the PSA on air. So I guess I am a little behind in giving you all a sneak preview.
Check out the video and photos from the shoot!

Children and Youth Day at the State Capitol

On October 3rd I had the honor of hosting part of the entertainment at the Children and Youth Day. Families and children of all ages gathered to celebrate and enjoy games, rides, activities and entertainment. I got to congratulate the Little League World Series champions and ran into Lt. Governor Duke Aiona again.
It was an endearing moment to see thousands of families enjoy themselves and support all of the local, state and national agencies that help to keep our children safe and healthy!

YMCA Family Fun Day

On October 2nd I had the opportunity to volunteer at the YMCA Kailua Family Fun Day. I assisted with children making pin wheels and announced the Poster Contest winners!
Some of my titleholders were there to help as well! Thank you Ladies...you are all awesome!

ISPCAN International Conference

On September 27th I had the honor of helping at the International Congress on Child Abuse and Neglect. It was held at the Hawaii Convention Center and over 700 people from around the world attended this event! I was amazing to see all these individuals come together to attend sessions on keeping children safe in so many ways!
I spoke to someone from Russia who shared a story of some attendees that came from the Middle East. Only recently the countries have started to openly talk about child abuse and are taking action to put a stop to it! Absolutely amazing experience!

Aloha Week Parade

I am a little behind on my posts but I wanted to share some photos from the Aloha Week Floral Parade on September 18th! We had so much fun decorating the car, which was loaned to us by Mercedes! This is a new convertible model for the E350! Beautiful!
The most amazing part of the parade was seeing the hundreds of people gathered to watch one of the biggest parades the state produces!
What a great experience! Brock enjoyed the ride too!
