Announcement:

Junior Auxiliary of McMinnville has voted to NOT hold the Junior Miss Warren County and Junior Auxiliary Princess Pageants in 2011.

****

The past 15 years of pageants have been wonderful and we've had the opportunity to meet many amazing young women through this fundraiser, so the decision to suspend the pageants was not made lightly.

****

The more than 11 service projects JA performs during the year are supported by two other fundraisers: The Crown Jewels Art Gala and Christmas Luminaries. We plan to use this opportunity to turn our focus on the two existing fundraisers to raise much needed money for our service in 2011 and into 2012.

Title holders for the 2010 pageants include (above left to right) Junior Miss Katie Haggard and Junior Auxiliary Princess Alyssa Ledbetter, and Junior Auxiliary Little Sister Blair Fisher. The three girls will continue to hold those titles until the pageants are picked up again. We couldn’t have three better girls to leave with these titles for an extended time. They have been wonderful representatives of JA during the past year and will continue to support the club’s efforts in the community as long as they continue to hold their titles.

Stay tuned to the JA Facebook and blog for information about the future of the pageants. Feel free to email jamcminnville@yahoo.com for more information.
