Learnshop, First Person, Third Person, Same Person
Reading Sylvia Pankhurst
Olivia Plender
April 30, 2022, 12–2pm
Prior to opening the exhibition to the public, Olivia Plender organizes a small-sized group meeting with local feminist organizers to revisit some of Sylvia Pankhurst's writings about the East London Federation of Suffragettes (ELFS).
Olivia Plender's research into Sylvia Pankhurst (1882-1960), a socialist feminist and anti-fascist from the UK began when she found Pankhurst's unpublished and unperformed play Liberty or Death from 1913 in the archives of the Women's Library in London. The work became the starting point for a video installation, Hold, Hold, Fire (2019), and a series of meetings with grassroot activists that Olivia Plender continues to organize.
Sylvia Pankhurst is mostly known for her role in women's voting rights, but she also campaigned against racism and imperialism and was part of the Communist Party founding in the UK. Pankhurst was trained as an artist at the Manchester School of Art and then the Royal College of Art in London. Liberty or Death departs from Pankhurst's work with the East London Federation of the Suffragettes (ELFS).
In Reading Sylvia Pankhurst Olivia Plender explores how the history of the Suffragettes has been written. Since 2019, she has convened groups with local organizers. By applying their knowledge of political organizing today, these groups focus on aspects of the drama that relate directly to their own experiences in campaigning against gender-based violence, a punitive welfare system, the immigration and asylum system, and inadequate social housing. In staging these meetings, Olivia Plender tries to establish an atmosphere of mutual education that enables a collective form of re-writing feminist history. By bringing Reading Sylvia Pankhurst to New York, Olivia Plender aims to discuss similarities and differences between the UK and the US: how does feminist history differ between the two countries and what can they learn from each other? In the learnshop at Amant, participants will mainly discuss and read, with the possibility to perform and do basic performance/body work.
This learnshop is open to anyone who is interested; however, it is conceived for people who have experience in community organizing, feminist activism, or who have an interest in feminist history and in exploring this history with others. The gathering has a maximum capacity of 15 people.

Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano  (* 15. September 1972 in Oviedo, Asturien; verheiratete Doña Letizia, Königin von Spanien) ist eine spanische ehemalige Journalistin und führt als Ehefrau von Felipe VI. seit dessen Thronbesteigung am 19. Juni 2014 den Titel Königin von Spanien.

Leben

Kindheit und Ausbildung
Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano ist die älteste von drei Töchtern (Telma, * 1973 und Érika, 1975–2007) des spanischen Journalisten Jesús Ortiz Álvarez und seiner Ehefrau Paloma Rocasolano Rodríguez, einer Krankenschwester.
Letizia wuchs katholisch auf. Mit ihrer Familie lebte sie in einem Dorf in der nordspanischen Provinz Asturien, an der Biskaya-Küste.

Als 11-Jährige moderierte sie jeden Samstag eine Kindersendung im lokalen Radio ihres Geburtsortes Oviedo.

Letizia Ortiz studierte Kommunikationswissenschaft an der Universität Complutense Madrid. Anschließend verbrachte sie einige Zeit in Mexiko, wo sie einige Doktorandenkurse besuchte, aber keine Dissertation verfasste. Während dieser Zeit arbeitete sie bei der Zeitung Siglo XXI. Später war Letizia Ortiz als Journalistin bei den Zeitungen La Nueva España (in Oviedo) und ABC (in Madrid), bei der spanischen Nachrichtenagentur EFE und bei den Fernsehsendern Bloomberg, CNN+ (CNN-Ableger innerhalb der PRISA-Gruppe) sowie TVE tätig.

Ehen
Letizia Ortiz heiratete am 7. August 1998 standesamtlich Alonso Guerrero Pérez; die Ehe dauerte ungefähr ein Jahr. Da das Paar nicht kirchlich geheiratet hatte, stimmte die katholische Kirche später der kirchlichen Hochzeit mit dem Prinzen Felipe zu.

Die Verlobung zwischen Letizia Ortiz und dem damaligen Kronprinzen Felipe wurde am 1. November 2003 angekündigt, einen Tag nach ihrer letzten Nachrichtensendung bei TVE.
Das Paar heiratete am 22. Mai 2004 in der Almudena-Kathedrale von Madrid. Den Auftakt der Feierlichkeiten bildete am Freitagabend ein Gala-Diner im Pardo-Palast 15 Kilometer nördlich von Madrid, wo Felipe (36) im vergangenen November um die Hand der Journalistin angehalten hatte.
Die Trauung mit 1.400 geladenen Gästen aus Hochadel, Politik und öffentlichem Leben galt als das größte gesellschaftliche Ereignis in Europa seit der Hochzeit des britischen Kronprinzen Charles mit Lady Diana Spencer 23 Jahre zuvor.

Letizias Hochzeitskleid war ein in gebrochenem Weiß gehaltenes ausladendes Seidenkleid des 86-jährigen Designers Manuel Pertegaz, der für dessen Anfertigung extra aus dem Ruhestand zurückkehrte. Das Modell bestach durch schlichte Eleganz gepaart mit majestätischen Accessoires und einem Hauch von modernem Chic. So hatte es ein tailliertes langärmliges Oberteil und einen dezenten, doch für das spanische Hofprotokoll ungewöhnlich spitzen V-Ausschnitt. Zudem verfügte es über einen vornehmen hohen Kaminkragen sowie einen weitausgestellten schweren Rock, welcher in einer 4,50 Meter langen, mit heraldischen Motiven bestickten Schleppe auslief. Das Muster korrespondierte mit den pyramidenförmigen Verzierungen aus Gold- und Silberfäden an den Enden von Trompetenärmeln und Rocksaum. Der drei Meter lange, mit Lilien handbestickte Seidenschleier der Braut war ein Geschenk des Prinzen. Letizia wurde mit einem mit Brillanten besetzten Diadem aus dem Familienbesitz der Bourbonen gekrönt. Königin Sofía hatte das Schmuckstück aus Platin ebenfalls 1962 bei ihrer Hochzeit mit König Juan Carlos in Athen getragen.

Die Beziehung zu ihrer Schwiegermutter Königin Sofía war Berichten der spanischen Boulevardpresse zufolge von Beginn an überaus angespannt. Angeblich habe Königin Sofia versucht, die Eheschließung ihres Sohnes mit einer geschiedenen Bürgerlichen der Mittelschicht zu verhindern. Tatsächlich wirkt das Verhältnis der beiden in der Öffentlichkeit von jeher unterkühlt.

Kinder

Aus der Ehe mit König Felipe VI. gingen zwei Kinder hervor:
 Infantin Leonor, Fürstin von Asturien (* 31. Oktober 2005 in Madrid)
 Infantin Sofía (* 29. April 2007 in Madrid)

Politische Stellungnahmen
Letizia hat sich als Feministin geäußert und ihre Unterstützung für die Bewegung bekundet. Am Internationalen Frauentag 2018 sagte sie alle offiziellen Termine ab, um sich an dem Frauenstreik zu beteiligen, an dem allein in Spanien mehr als 5,3 Millionen Menschen für Gleichberechtigung auf die Straße gingen.

Gesundheit
Im August 2008 unterzog sich Letizia einer operativen Korrektur an der Nase und (vermutlich, aber nicht bestätigt) am Kinn. Der spanische Hof gab zum ersten Mal eine Pressemitteilung zu privaten Angelegenheiten der Königsfamilie ab und führte gesundheitliche Gründe für den Naseneingriff an.

Offizielle Aufgaben
Letizia begleitete als Kronprinzessin ihren Mann bei verschiedenen internationalen Ereignissen, wie Sportveranstaltungen oder (royalen) Hochzeiten. Etwa zwei Wochen nach der Inthronisierung Felipes führte die erste Auslandsreise des neuen Monarchenpaars nach Rom, zu einer Privataudienz bei Papst Franziskus.

Im Februar 2014 veröffentlichte König Juan Carlos I., dass er für seine Familienmitglieder erstmals feste Jahresgehälter festgelegt habe. Letizia erhielt jährlich insgesamt rund 102.000 Euro – 49.000 Euro als Gehalt und 53.000 Euro für repräsentative Aufgaben. Für Königin Sofia waren es 63.000 plus 69.000 Euro. Bis dahin hatte Juan Carlos die Zuwendungen nicht im Detail publik gemacht und je nach Anzahl der öffentlichen Auftritte veranschlagt. Begründung für die Neuregelung war, dass das neue System transparenter sei. Das Gesamtbudget der Königsfamilie betrug 2014 mit 7,8 Millionen Euro 2 Prozent weniger als im Vorjahr, ohne dass Kosten für Dienstreisen, -fahrzeuge, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen und Gebäudeinstandhaltungen enthalten waren.

Brown Bagging for Calgary's Kids
Brown Bagging for Calgary's Kids is a grassroots charity whose strength is its simplicity. In operation since 1990, the organization makes and delivers thousands of free school lunches each day to young students who would otherwise go hungry.
The charity's website was outdated and lacked the sense of engagement and fun that surrounds Brown Bagging for Calgary's Kids. The organization's people are energetic, outgoing and deeply committed, and the site did not reflect that attitude. It also failed to convey the excitement of working within this well-oiled machine to put nourishing food in the hands of hungry kids.
RedPoint's team worked quickly to gain a deep understanding of the client, even to the extent of spending mornings volunteering in the BB4CK main kitchen. Then we put our storytelling expertise to work. In collaboration with the client, we designed and developed a new website from the ground up, with a fun and exciting look and feel. The copy put a finishing touch on the story, with newly written text describing BB4CK's impact in a direct and personal way. Incorporated into the communications plan was an e-newsletter campaign to draw attention and drive traffic to the new site.
Phase 1 of the new BB4CK site launched in July 2013, along with the kickoff of the e-mail newsletter campaign. Reaction was immediate and positive. The newsletter received a high rate of clicks, with almost 25% of readers spending time on the website. Some comments from the client and users:
"We have received fabulous feedback, and people really like the site."
"Great initiative and very eye-opening."
"LOVE the new website!"

Patricia Murray from Plan and Janet Schooley from PCI presented sustainability assessments in Kenya and Bolivia, respectively.
Such assessments seem like a challenge in our field, with attention spans no longer than project cycles and ever changing donor fads. And where "quick wins" trump sustainability. Who pays for the assessment once the project is over and who benefits from the findings? Whose business is it?
From both organizations' experience, it seemed that the organizations benefitted through an increased understanding of their own programs. It was good for staff morale to see that so many program successes had lasted. It helped the organization see what project components 'stuck' and which needed more work to achieve sustainability. It also helped the organizations see how it could better factor in sustainability to both program design and M&E plans. In particular, Plan talked about how the study will inform phase out plans for ensuring lasting impact.
In the discussion afterwards, the variety of ideas of what sustainability could mean highlighted the need for every project to have its own definitions and specific sustainability goals. For example, many defined sustainability only at the level of the individuals reached, and others at the community level.
….The organization, coordination, and management of multiple activities and resources to ensure the delivery of more efficient and coherent services in relation to cost, output, impact, and use….
The principle paper highlights that integration is not an intervention in itself, rather it's an approach. Results from Cochrane reviews so far suggest that integration has promising but mixed results.
USAID's Global Health Initiative has developed a learning agenda around integration to assist efforts in building the knowledge base about what "bundles" of services can be integrated together, according to which model, for optimum cost effectiveness. Integration is especially an issue for M&E efforts, where different health areas approach M&E differently.
Conversation after the presentation focused on the different types of indicators that might be required. Participants highlighted that integration often meant institutionalization, which would be highly dependent on systems factors, and indicator selection would need to reflect this.
One of the interesting presentations was measurement of community capacity by Dr Carol Underwood, as both a factor to help improve health behavior and health outcomes and as an outcome in itself. This study was based on the Health Communication Partnership in Zambia, a 5-year USAID supported project. The key goals were to enable individuals and communities to take positive health actions and strengthen community-based systems and networks. Strengthening community capacity was a key project strategy.
This study was unique as it defined the key domains of community capacity (CC) through first asking the community members themselves and then refining the domains from a literature review to create a scale. The hypothesized pathway for the effect of CC on health outcomes was that interventions would improve CC, CC would then prompt community action and community action would then positively affect health behaviours. The team interviewed almost 5000 people from 24 intervention and 12 control districts (in a post test only design).
Individuals in intervention districts had much higher CC scores than those in control districts; and were much more likely to report addressing a health problem in their community. Compared to those who did not report addressing a health problem, those who reported addressing a health problem were: twice as likely to be using a modern contraceptive method; 1.8 times as likely to have received an HIV test and know the answer; and 1.5 times more likely to have had their youngest child sleep under a bed net.
This study demonstrates that building community capacity was both a means to an end (improved health behaviors and reported collective action for health) and an end-in-itself – achieving two important social development goals.
Dr Leonardo Cubillos Turriago talked to the CORE Group about capacity development in health at the macro level. It is a truism that capacity development is a necessary precondition for project success in every sector. Each year, donors spend more than 20 billion USD on products and activities for capacity building in developing countries, indicating a high level of commitment.
However, there are many challenges in capacity development and it's hard to track efforts. There are a lack of common definitions, no theory of change and a lack of specificity in program planning (who is the best actor to carry out a specific function; whose capacity needs to be built). Results frequently not measured, and when they are reasons for successes are not clearly documented (that is, the same challenges that plague everything).
When definitions do exist, they are not consistently useful. For example, the World Bank defines capacity as:"the availability of resources and the efficiency and effectiveness with which societies deploy those resources to identify and pursue their development goals on a sustainable basis.".
To add to this definition, Turriago highlights that capacity development is ideally local driven, whereby actors learn from their own development experience. Specifically, he pointed out that one of the key components of capacity is countries' ability to work inter-sectorally.
Hence, key instruments of change include supporting countries in sharing knowledge and experiences, working in partnership, and to take ownership of efforts.

The Core group meeting summary provides useful information about the various intiatives focused on M&E and capacity building aspects.
I find it relevant to my area of work which is related to knowledge management and health information systems.
Excellent summary! Thanks so much for taking the time.

Goldie Hawn - Do You Remember?

On the shores of the Baltic Sea, the port city of Gdynia is in full resurgence. Within one of its magnificent parks, Quadrille sits in a small 18th-century palace to which the Górski family has brought new life. They imagined a decor that would surpass the ordinary, inspired by the world of Alice in Wonderland. The tunnel that connects the two sections of the hotel invites guests to pass from one side of the mirror to the other, where the rooms, each bearing the name of a famous writer and his novel, are found. Their choice for originality has not diminished the quality of the service, with the magic of the atmosphere evident in every detail. The restaurant, carried by the enthusiasm of its young chef, invites you to follow the white rabbit into the dunes of the Pomeranian Voivodeship.

Include Youth set to 'Keep 'er Lit' at Alley
Keep 'er Lit will be live on stage on Thursday, May 16 and Friday 17 in the Alley theatre
Claire Cartmill
To celebrate their 40th Anniversary Include Youth in partnership with The Arts Academy presents 'Keep 'er Lit - The Musical', an original production by David Oliver and Cat MacGinty, the writers of 'Gutz', 'Balo Balo' and 'Time'.
Keep 'er Lit will be live on stage on Thursday, May 16 and Friday 17 in the Alley theatre and it has already received rave reviews.
Speaking ahead of the premier David Oliver said: "This show is taking a whole new and innovative look at the post good Friday agreement generation and how this impacts on young people. The idea came from early discussion with Include Youth who are celebrating their 40th Birthday this year.
"Include Youth work with young people from a care experienced and young people from a socially disadvantaged background. Some of the young characters reflect the direct experiences of those young people who Include Youth work with.
"As such Keep 'er lit follows the lives of Callan, Jodie, Katie and Mat who, by no fault of their own, are finding life adverse and difficult. Having one thing in common as talented musicians and singers, they find support in their mentors Dylan and Fauna, both of whom are youth workers and former musicians.
"Following the completion of their community music programme will these young people let their circumstances hold them back or will they rise to the challenge that awaits them in the wilds of Donegal? That's what we explore in an entertaining and engaging way."
To celebrate their 40th Anniversary Include Youth in partnership with The Arts Academy presents 'Keep 'er Lit - The Musical'
Niall Blee, Programme Co-Ordinator of Include Youth's 'Strive' programme, who is also appearing in the show added: "This has been a fantastic opportunity. I have known the writers David Oliver and Cat McGinty for a long time now and took the opportunity to showcase Include Youth in a whole new way utilising their musical and creative talents. They jumped at the chance to be part of Include Youth's 40th Birthday celebrations.
"Both David and Cat have brought an original script and soundtrack including hit songs such as 'Kings of our time', 'Sweet Surrender' and 'That's Ok!', a cast of adults and Young people, some of whom are involved with Include Youth's programmes and 10 piece live band to this performance.
"This upbeat, edgy and powerful show will most certainly have you on the edge of your seat so come along for a great night and support the great work that Include Youth carry out at the same time."
Keep 'er lit will show at the Alley Theatre, Strabane each night at 12.30pm and 7.30pm. Tickets are available at www.alley-theatre.com or Box Office 02871 384444.

9 Best 'Suffragette' Trailer Moments That Will Give You All Of The Feminist Feels — VIDEO
Even though the summer season only kicked off a month ago with Marvel's release of Avengers: Age Of Ultron, those moviegoers sick to death of sequels, superheroes, and subpar remakes are likely already looking forward to the cooler months of autumn, when studios will start releasing the more serious dramas they're hoping will compete in next year's Oscar race. One of the first trailers for the upcoming prestige season has just dropped, giving us our best look yet at Suffragette , starring Carey Mulligan and Meryl Streep in the fight for women's right to vote in early 20th century England.
Directed by Sarah Gavron, a BAFTA nominee for her 2007 feature film debut Brick Lane, and written by Abi Morgan (Brick Lane, The Iron Lady, Shame), the film boasts an all-star cast also including Helena Bonham Carter, Brendan Gleeson, Romola Garai (Atonement), and Ben Whishaw (Skyfall). Suffragette already made waves last year, when it was announced that it would be the first film in history to be allowed to shoot inside the hallowed halls of London's Parliament chambers.
Suffragette could hardly be arriving at a more perfect time. Many of the film's themes are likely to resonate in many facets of our current political climate, whether it be Hillary Clinton's historic run for President, the continued struggle for equal rights throughout the LGBT community, or the civil unrest in communities like Ferguson and Baltimore.
Of course, a compelling trailer does not always a compelling film make, but it's hard not to get too excited for Suffragette based on these nine awesome moments from the trailer.
1. Breaking The Glass Window
Before they could break the glass ceiling, the women of England were breaking windows in protest. The trailer begins with Mulligan's Maud strolling down a street while the voices of men intone why women don't deserve the right to vote. Suddenly, the calm London afternoon is disrupted by an anonymous voice shouting, "Vote for women!" and a stone is thrown through the storefront Maud was just perusing.
2. Ben Whishaw As A Doting Husband
The sexiest Q in Bond history, Whishaw (also famous for the Wachowski's Cloud Atlas) appears as Maud's husband, Sonny. Let's just hope that he loses that awful mustache in a tragic political rally accident.
3. Bellatrix Lestrange Fights For The Forces Of Good
Most recognizable to contemporary audiences for her dastardly evil role in the Harry Potter franchise, two-time Academy Award nominee Carter here plays Edith, a member of the Women's Social And Political Union. Throughout the trailer, we see her violently protesting, blowing up mail boxes, and generally being a badass. "Are you a suffragette?" Maud asks her. "I consider myself more of a soldier," she answers nonchalantly.
4. Meryl Earns Her 20th Oscar Nomination
One minute into the trailer, the Goddess of Cinema herself walks out onto a balcony in front of an adoring crowd, lifts up her veil... and instantly receives her 20th Academy Award nomination. Playing real-life historical figure Emmeline Pankhurst, the founder of the WSPU and one of Time's 100 Most Important People of the 20th Century, Queen Meryl is sure to break her own record — again — to remain the most-nominated actor in history.
5. Crime Of Fashion
— I mean, passion. It seems that Maud quickly gets caught up in the cause of the suffragettes, as she's seen here filling Edith's role as mailbox-bomber while presumably incognito as Charlie Chaplin. (This begs the question, what happened to Bellatrix Lestrange?)
6. Strike While The Iron Is Hot
Maud decides she's had enough of her boss's pervy advances, and responds to his unwanted sexual advances with a hot iron to the hand. Hopefully that'll make him think twice about where he puts that hand next.
7. Declaration Of War
In the trailer's climax, Maud indignantly informs Gleeson's investigator Steed why she and her fellow suffragettes have resorted to violence: "We break windows, we burn things, because war's the only language men listen to."
8. Boom Goes The Dynamite
Lest the summer's moviegoers be too concerned that Suffragette is all funny dresses and stuffy accents, the advertisers made sure to stick in one fiery explosion. Since he didn't have yet another Transformers movie opening this summer (thank god), presumably Michael Bay had some spare time on his hands to show director Gavron the best way to make a house go boom.
9. Meryl Wins Her Fourth Oscar Trophy
Forget the measly nomination. Streep's role in Suffragette is bound to earn the actress a fourth little gold man to put on her mantle, alongside her trophies for Kramer Vs. Kramer, Sophie's Choice, and The Iron Lady. Pankhurst brings the trailer home with a rousing speech to Maud: "Never surrender. Never give up." It doesn't seem like she has much screen time in the film, but if Judi Dench could win a Supporting Actress trophy for her eight-minute performance as Queen Elizabeth I in Shakespeare In Love, then surely Queen Meryl will have no trouble here.

There were 154 medals awarded to Canadians.

Q: Impossible to sync Gradle Android Studio I'm taking an online course to learn how to use Android studio and create an application. I have launched for the first time Android Studio but unfortunately I have a problem of synchronization with Gradle. I tried to understand and it seems that it is because of the version.
When I do :
gradlew --version

I see that I have version 7.2

task clean(type: Delete) {

So I changed 7.1.3 to 7.2.
But I still get the same error which is :

Pivotal Scientific's distributor training course is specifically designed for life science manufacturers. It lasts half a day, and we train just one company at a time to allow you the freedom to be completely open about current performance, and to allow us to tailor our advice specifically to your company and distribution network.
Pivotal Scientific will then review each territory in your distribution network to identify which companies are doing well, which companies are doing poorly and your own thoughts on why. Pivotal Scientific will then make recommendations of possible improvement methods and identify distributors that could operate on your behalf in territories not currently covered.
We also include a number of resources for FREE including standard distribution templates, and product spreadsheets with explanations on why different information should be included. We will also provide example quotation spreadsheets to help you ensure you're on top of distributor opportunities.
We, at Pivotal Scientific, pride ourselves on being helpful and flexible; we can visit your offices or run an online course for you.
Do you use distributors to sell your life science products? Do you create strong bonds with them so that they operate like your outsourced sales force?
How to find the best life science distributors?
Whether they should be exclusive, sole or non-exclusive?
The key clauses to be included in the distribution agreement?
How much discount to give distributors?
How to manage your distributors?
If you are in either camp, or would just like a company to provide monthly advice about your distribution network, let Pivotal Scientific Limited manage your distributors for you. We will work closely with your staff to ensure that we have all the insight into how your distributors are currently working and then provide our own thoughts and insights into how to get each distributor to sell more. Pivotal Scientific will also communicate on your behalf with your distributors to get their truthful feedback about your products and brand so you can make your own improvements to support them.
Pivotal Scientific will agree sales targets with yourselves and your distributors and work with everyone to make sure they are well and truly exceeded.

The Queen of The Hill / Ms. Kokopelli Pageant
Events, Professional Group
The Miss Kokopelli/Queen of the Hill Pageant was held on February 25, 2017. The event benefited Angels Cove, the Baptist Children's Home and Family Services in Mt. Vernon, Illinois.
BCHFS is a multi-faceted family crisis center consisting of five ministries that work together to protect, heal and restore struggling children and families. Whether it is helping teens in trouble, young women with unplanned pregnancies, or Christian counseling services – BCHFS has been helping those who need it most reach their full potential.
Women and girls of various ages competed in one of seven categories: Baby Queen of the Hill, Tiny Queen of the Hill, Little Queen of the Hill, Junior Queen of the Hill, Teen Miss Queen of the Hill, Ms. Kokopelli, and The Queen of the Hill.
Pageant judges, Megan Jones and Jenn Fortune
The prize for winning was a cash purse based on the number of entries, a crown, a sash, a pin, flowers and a photo session to be featured on the Facebook pages.
Megan Jones, COO of Priority Professional Group, was asked to be a judge at the pageant. The committee was looking for a smart, successful business woman that is active in the community to serve as a judge for this year's event, and Megan was the perfect fit.
This is Megan's second time judging the pageant and it won't be her last. "The thing that I enjoy about these pageants is that most people believe they are based on external beauty. That is absolutely not true," Megan said. "It takes a lot more than external looks to make a person truly beautiful. The women who participate in these events are strong, outgoing, charismatic, and truly add value to their communities and to the world."
Priority Group supports and congratulates the winners of the pageant and the organization that this event benefited.
Megan adds that "it takes a lot more than a pretty face to be kind and generous and want to make a difference in the world and those are the kind of women you see participating in these pageants. There is so much more to a pageant that people just don't see until they participate in one."
Please visit the event's Facebook page to see photos of the contestants.
