A very busy month!

What an exciting month. I had SO much fun at the Macy's Fashion Show! I absolutely loved modeling and I ended up buying the dress and the coat the stylists selected for me. Since being crowned on 9/18 I have been very busy:

• 9/26 Performed at the Annual Makaha Sons Benefit Concert (to benefit the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Earth, Sea and Space Center of NH)


• 10/4 PEASE Greeters Homecoming Flight (from Iraq)


• 10/9 PEASE Greeters Outgoing Flight (to Iraq)


• 10/10 UNH Homecoming Football Game with 1978 Homecoming King Mike Marchese of Everett MA


• 10/17 at Macy's Shop for a Cause
