Magic 107.7 Morning Show hosts Dave Collins and Leslye Gale broadcasted live from the atrium at Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. February 13, 14 and 15. Throughout the broadcast they shared stories of children treated at Central Florida's Children's Miracle Network hospitals and invite listeners to help by pledging a monthly gift. I was there maning the phone lines and taking donations. While there we received tons of phone calls. Two phone calls in particular donated a $1000! It was very exciting!

Love Letters: Random Cards of Kindness is a non-profit 501 (c)3 organization which gives inspiring/uplifting homemade cards to children suffering from a life threatening disease. On Feb 9th, I met Kaitlyn Chana, the founder of Love Letters , and assisted her in creating Bear Love Letters for the children at Florida Hospital. The event was held in Altamonte Springs at the Joanne Fabrics store. Many people attended the event and well over a hundred cards were made :) Pictured above are some of the customers who took a moment of their time to make a love letter. Also a close up of my first Bear Love Letter of the day!

Hi everyone! Saturday January 12, 2008 marked the second annual Miss Orlando, Miss City Beautiful, and Miss Winter Park Pageant as well as the Outstanding Teen Pageant (for the same titles). It was an all day affair as the Miss contestants had interviews Saturday morning, watched the Outstanding Teen pageant in the afternoon and competed that night.

The Teens had a similar schedule as the did interview friday night, competed satuday afternnoon and watched the Miss pageant saturday night. In the end we crowned 7 wonderful young women who will do a fine job representing Orange County at the Miss Florida America Scholarship Pageant in July. Hats off to our judges as well. My sister queen Emily Kuchar judged the Teen pageant and I must admit they did a great job; they found us the right girls for the job :)

It was off to Ormond Beach to participate in the annual Christmas Parade. This parade was special because we were able to see our Miss Florida USA (and my Volusia County predecessor) Jessica Rafalowski! We arrived early so we could meet parade participants and take tons of photos. What a great parade!
