Although competition was tough, we ended up selecting 2 fabulous young women to represent their titles who will then have the opportunity to compete for Miss New Hampshire 2010 ~ Congratulations!!

Manchester Signature Chefs Volunteer Reception

September 16th, 2009

The March of Dimes is one of my top non profit organizations that I work with and support because of their mission to save babies lives and provide research to that mission. They are amazing! I had the pleasure of being invited to the Volunteer Reception at the Bedford Village Inn for the upcoming Manchester Signature Chefs Event. It is going to be an incredible night of great food from over 20 local restaurants, wonderful silent and live auction items with all the proceeds going to the March of Dimes.

Veteran's Honor Day

The Hanover Inn's Veterans Honor Day in Partnership with Mascoma Savings Bank

Saturday, September 12th, 2009

12pm - 3pm

Today was a day to "HONOR" all Veterans and to acknowledge the distinguished Veterans living at the New Hampshire and Vermont Veterans Homes. These homes provide specialized health care and professional long-term care services while also focusing on providing dignity, independence and the highest quality of life for each resident!

I was asked to come to this event in support of New Hampshire's Veterans. It was my sincere HONOR to be in THEIR presence! Through out my Mrs. New Hampshire journey, I've been blessed to meet and be in the presence of many amazing people, but today, I was once again HUMBLED as a person. Their courage and strength is something that I can only hope to one day have and be able to pass on to my children! It was so nice meeting and speaking with these incredible men and women who go back to World War II to present and to hear their stories, I was touched and inspired.

We enjoyed performances by the Norwich University Cadet Color Guard and Drill Team along with the New Hampshire Police Association's Pipes and Drum Band. Military vehicles were also be on display. A spectacular summer barbeque prepared by the Hanover Inn's Executive Chef, Jason Merrill, was served to all attendants.

We should ALWAYS Honor and Support our troops from yesterday and today! All proceeds and donations from the event will be equally divided between the two Homes.

I met this sweet man who even wore his original WWII uniform - inspiring to say the least! With the NH Police Association Pipes and Drums Band Veterans from both NH and VT
