J. had to attend an informational meeting organized by the Rose Festival Association because she applied and for the Rose Festival Princess program and was found eligible to participate.I think it's great to see J. continue what seems to be a family tradition at this point, since both sisters M. and V. had also applied when they were high school Seniors.
This is a perfect opportunity for a young woman to learn to be confident, to talk in public, and to have a chance at representing the city.
I was late to the meeting due to a prior engagement and barely had time to start this sketch before the meeting was over.
Update: See the article in the Portland Mercury about how it unfolded...
I'm so excited for J. She failed to mention it when I called- seemingly overwhelmed by all the college applications for scholarships that she needs to finish (and that I got the impression she was ignoring)... anyway- I hope she makes it. I can see the platform now: Cure Child Obesity Now!....by including fun activities like DDR in the curriculum.
