Food For Lane County Donor Dinner & Auction


This again was a wonderful event put on by the Directors, staff, and volunteers of Food for Lane County. This was an event to thank our donors and to raise money for the organization. There were silent auctions, a Diamond and Tanzinite ring worth $5400.00 that I was honored to wear and showcase for the guests; they all had an opportunity to purchase a $100.00 tiger with the chance that their tiger would have the ring attached. There was great food and entertainment, the theme of India was beautiful and the dancers were great. To be a part of such a great organization that helps so many families is a blessing. Thank you Food for Lane County for allowing me to participate.

Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure

The Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure had over 40,000 participants. I had such a wonderful time with all my new friends from the pageant. These women are truly amazing and some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Angela (Mrs. Clackamas) and I had so much fun talking and remembering stories from our earlier childhood. We watched together the many participants of the race as they passed us or walked along side of us, many had stories of their own; from walking for themselves to walking for a loved one or in remembrance of someone, this was such a touching moment. As we crossed the finish line, a wonderful roar exploded from the crowd. There were tears of joy, laughter, and I am sure some sadness. To see so many community members from near and far come together to raise money and walk and run to fight cancer was an awesome experience that I will never forget. I am proud that the Mrs. Oregon America pageant is part of this and allowed me as Mrs. Eugene to participate. Thanks so much to Delicia for setting everything up so that we all could participate together.

Eugene Celebration





There is nothing like local Honey and vegetables from the farmers market. The Eugene Celebration was such a wonderful event. I had a great time getting to know my local growers, entertainers, and future little princesses. Eugene, just like our whole state of Oregon is a beautiful place. We are so blessed to have such an awesome place to reside, being out in my community has reminded me of that. I appreciate all the support from my community members, and adore all of my fans and have enjoyed meeting many of you. Help me continue to support our community by purchasing fruits and vegetables from your local farmer and the farmers market, donate to Food for Lane County, support your adoptive parents, and always always smile and bring sunshine to our beautiful city.

Lane County Fair & Food For Lane County

Once again Food For Lane County was out in our community raising money and collecting food donations for the food bank. And once again I was right there to provide whatever services I could to help as many families as needed. It was a wonderful day with hundreds of people coming out to support our community. I am ever so grateful to have been able to participate with such a great organization and our great community members. From the youngest to the oldest, they all came with a giving heart.

Adoption Connections Of Oregon at Eugene Emeralds Baseball Game




The wonderful members and families of the Adoption Connections Of Oregon spending a day at PK Park watching the Eugene Emeralds Minor league baseball team. My little princess fan encouraged me to take pointers from her on how to wear my crown correctly. She said in the pictures I was taking she could not see my crown, so she insisted on showing me how it is done. Thank you so much Princess Camille, you are such an inspiration to me. All the families are wonderful and great supporters of me. I will always look to do whatever I can for this great organization.

Jazz & Blues Fesitval/ Oregon Food Bank Drive





















My husband and I really enjoyed ourselves at the Jazz & Blues Festival in Portland. Together along with some of the other Mrs. Oregon candidates we collected money, food, and donations for the Oregon Food Bank. We had a great time meeting new people and seeing old friends. Portland continues to amaze me with how fast it continues to grow. My husband and I both lived in Portland for many years before met, when we got married we moved to Eugene. On our many visits to Portland we always have such a wonderful time together enjoying the beautiful city. We look forward to participating in the next big event.
