People often think that competing means you can't be friendly with your rivals, or support them. How wrong they are! Sure, when you are competing--whether it is at a sport or in a pageant or in the corporate world--you want to win. But that doesn't mean you can't encourage your rivals as well. After all, you are only as strong as those who compete at your side, and the real competition is in
bettering yourself! I'm very lucky that several of my fellow competitors feel the same way and joined me at the Keep Moore County Beautiful Christmas Tree Recycling Event. We helped
turn 335 trees into mulch that will be used to help gardens and parks in Moore County grow! These trees would otherwise rot in a landfill. Mrs Raleigh International, Shawna Goins and Mrs Cumberland County International, LaTeacha Coleman worked very hard to take apart wreaths, trim
branches to be put in the mulcher and shovel mulch into giant bags. I know they were feeling it the next day because I was sore! Keep Moore County Beautiful is a non-profit organization that became an affiliate of Keep America Beautiful in 1988. The purpose of the organization is to provide education to the citizens of Moore County in ways of improving the appearance of the county by offering programs, and establishing and maintaining litter and solid waste programs. Keep Moore
County Beautiful promotes educational programs in Moore County Schools, government, businesses and community
organizations. After several hours of hard work, we then lunched at my favorite Moore County lunchplace...Corfu's Greek Restaraunt. We re-ingested every calorie we burned shoveling mulch, trust me! But we had so much fun chatting and sharing goals for our platforms. These ladies are truly amazing and I consider myself lucky to know them and count them
as part of the "Sisterhood of the Traveling Crown"! Thanks, ladies! You ROCK! I would consider our state lucky to have either of these beautiful, accomplished women crowned Mrs. NC International!
