Irem Shrine Family Picnic

Ever since a little girl, my grandfather always took me out to the Irem Shrine Family Picninc. There are always a ton of games,

bike raffles, and pony rides. This year I came as a guest wearing my sash, representinh my title. I got to meet my handsome "Romeo" today who I had the priviledge of taking a picture with to remember the moment. I also got to reconnect with my best friend Bill! He has always supported me with all of my fundraisers at the Irem Temple, especially at the

golf tournament. He is also my biggest supporter in my book sellings and competing in different pageants. He always knows how to make me laugh and be myself in all different situations. Finally, I also got to spend time with the people who allowed me to ride with them in parades along with being my seconf family, the Shepards. I helped make their world famous popcorn which is absolutely delicious. All of the men are so

sweet and genuine and all have hearts of gold. We were also trying to raise funds for the ShrinersHospitals for Children in Philadelphia since these are the men that transport the children to and from the hospital for no cost.
