Mickie Franklin hasn't added a story.
In April of this year, Mersadie competed in the NAM (National American Miss) pageant for the ultimate overall queen title for her age group (Junior Pre-Teen). She didn't win the overall queen title for her age group, but she did get in the top 20 out of 159 girls, so we are REALLY proud of her.
At the state pageant, she did win a crown, trophy, and banner for selling advertising pages in the state program book. She sold a total of 3 pages ($600.00 each) and won the title of State Ambassador which in turn gave her the invitation to participate at the National Pagent for the National All-American Miss Queen Title (the ultimate goal of course). ;)
Mersadie has been working hard towards the National pageant and this title. All the girls who are competeing for the ultimate title have to engage in a community service project to fulfill part of the overall scoring (community involvement is worth 10%). Mersadie has chosen to volunteer at the Story County Medical Center where she goes and entertains the elderly. She helps them play games (her favorite is BINGO), she reads the paper to those who can't see, she reads books to groups (there favorite so far is Charlotte's Web), she colors with them, and sometimes when they just need someone to talk too, she is there to listen. She has a passion for this and has been volunteering her time doing this since she was 4 years old!
Because Mersadie isn't guarenteed to win the ultimate title, Mersadie is selling more advertising pages for the National program book to win another title: National Cover Model. She will be GUARENTEED this title if she sells a TOTAL of 10 pages (this does include the three pages of ads she sold at the state level). Not only will she win this title, but she will earn an all expense paid trip to Nationals. Oh by the way, we are heading to Anaheim, CA the week of Thanksgiving to earn these titles!! :)
Throughout the summer, Mersadie earned enough money through selling corn, fresh farm eggs, and hosting a bake sale at our local Lincoln Highway Days to add one more page to the program book, making a total of 4 pages (one from this summer + three already earned from the state book) and we are 6 pages away from her goal. We are still working businesses for advertising as well, so we don't want you to think that we have quit on our end.
$3,600.00 is alot of money, but her happiness is our goal and we want her to be able to walk away with this GUARENTEED title. She will be on cloud nine because the trophy and crown for this title are HUGE and will make her feel like all the work she has done has paid off.
Please donate what you can and we want to thank you in advance for helping Mersadie acheive her dream! :)
