To get more involved in her community, Jessica volunteered her time serving dinner to widows and orphans at the local Old Timers Supper. She helped serve supper, helped clean up, visited, and then took pictures. Jessica had a lot of fun spending my time with people less fortunate than herself! They served barbeque sandwiches, beans, slaw, and lots of desserts! Everybody seemed to have a good time. This event is sponsored by Masons who help out the community alot! They do coats for the cold, help out needy families whose house may have caught on fire, whose kids may not get any toys for Christmas, or buy people groceries. Jessica is n very proud of my community and enjoys helping our neighbors!

Madison Wheat, Tennessee Jr. Teen Queen, served as a Master of Ceremonies for the 2010 American Girl Doll Fashion Show benefiting Special Olympics Tennessee.

Special Olympics Tennessee partners with The American Girl Doll Company each year for a fundraising event. This event includes 4 fashion shows where young girls ages 6-10 model outfits that match the time period of the doll they are representing.

Special Olympics Tennessee partners with The American Girl Doll Company each year for a fundraising event. This event includes 4 fashion shows where young girls ages 6-10 model outfits that match the time period of the doll they are representing. This is a fun event for the community where they serve “tea party” style snacks. Proceeds from sponsors, an auction, ticket sales, and donations go to support Special Olympics in Tennessee.
As one of the emcee’s of this year’s event, Madison had the privilege of introducing the various dolls and the models. American Girl dolls are rich in history and tell a unique story. This introduction included describing the time frame in which this doll lived, describing her clothing and what life was like where she lived. As emcee, she engaged the audience in learning about the history of the dolls and actively engaging them in the show.
When she wasn’t on stage, Madison loved being able to walk around and simply provide encouragement for the young girls who served as models with the dolls. She was also able to serve as a greeter and talked with young guests about NAM, American Girl Dolls, and Special Olympics.
There was much work to do to prepare for the event. Madison learned a lot about the history of our great country. Madison said “it was a fabulous experience.” She can’t wait until the summer when she can help on the field or on the court with her favorite Special Olympics athletes.

2009 National American Miss Tennessee Jr. Teen Queen Savannah Ivey Farewell

Dear Contestants.

I would first like to congratulate you for making it this far! You have already accomplished so much by simply deciding to attend this year’s pageant! This shows bravery, strength, and a desire for greatness. I would like you to know that I understand all the feelings you may be experiencing. I can fully remember all of the butterflies, excitement, and anticipation. I have stood in your shoes five times before.

National American Miss is such a wonderful pageant! I have made many life-long friends and memories through this organization. I cannot wait for you to experience all of the fun of pageant weekend!

As I said before, I have competed in this pageant five times, and trust me, every year I walked away with an important life lesson. When I began my journey at NAM, I was an eleven year-old girl with panic attacks. I had no idea what to expect, I just wanted to do something that would get me outside of my comfort zone. I left that year with a newfound confidence and amazing friends! I continued coming back four years. Although I didn’t always win, I always had a blast!

Girls, this experience is so amazing. Please take advantage of every opportunity. I encourage you to introduce yourself to other contestants! Make it your goal to meet a new friend, who can go through this journey with you. Friends make this pageant so much fun! I met my best friend at the pageant in 2005, and now we see each other every summer!

My advice to you is to have fun! Don’t get caught up in the stress and miss all of the fun! Be yourself and relax! God has brought you to this point for a reason! Remember that God’s plans are perfect! Good luck and have fun! God bless!

You 2009 Miss Tennessee Junior Teen,

Savannah Ivey

2009 National American Miss Tennessee Pre-Teen Queen Alexandra Wallace Farewell

Dear Contestants,

First off, congratulations on being a state finalist.  What an honor!  This weekend has a lot in store, from rehearsals to competitions and even a party.  Get to know the other contestants and make new friends. I can’t wait to meet each and every one of you this weekend!

Nationals were amazing.  While I was honored to be second runner up, one of the funnest things we did was tour Hollywood.  And what fun we had at crazy themed rehearsals!

As you compete this weekend, never forget to have a smile on your face and your shoulders held back. No matter what the outcome this weekend I know God has a plan for each and every one of you. While at times it might be hard to know this, it’s very true.  We must be patient and wait. Remember this weekend is but one step along the path God has chosen for you.

My sincere wish for each of you is that you will make memories that you can share all your life. I hope you know you are a winner simply for being here, so hold your head high and take with you experiences that will help shape you into the person you can be.

In God’s love,

Alexandra Wallace

Hey Matt!

I hope all is well with you! I just wanted to update you on the 2010 Memory Walk that I participated in. We had a great turn out of people! My team was just as large as last year, which was a great accomplishment considering the rain that we experienced 🙂 All together, the walk has raised $60,000 so far. We are still receiving donations, so I am very excited to hear the final tally of the money that my team raised! I have a attached some pictures from the event. I will keep you updated on our success! I am so looking forward to this summer! Please let me know the dates of your other pageants, whenever you finalize them. I would love to attend and help out in any way that I can! Have a blessed week! God bless!
