Hi Everyone

I had the opportunity to speaking with a women's group called (M.O.P.S.) Mothers of pre-schoolers in Vail, AZ. As a volunteer for the Southern Arizona Susan G. Komen affliate and being Mrs. Arizona. I spent the morning speaking to this group of moms about the importance of Early detection awareness and breast cancer awareness. It was great to speak to this group because as mom's we tend to put our families first and forget about our own health. Its important to focus on maintaining our health, so we can be there for our families in the future.

Thank You to Kelli York, M.O.P.S. and Komen office for having speak to this group. Education is important. This is just a great opportunity I get to have as Mrs. Arizona.

Thank You for reading and stay tuned for events as I continue my journey as your Mrs. Arizona America 2009.

October 18

Well the weekend of October 16-18 my family and I made our annual Rister Family trip down to Tombstone, AZ for the 80th annual Helldorado Days Festival. This year was special because I got to participate in the parade. It was very hot, but I managed to stay cool and smile big for the people on the sidelines of the parade route on Historic Allen st in Tombstone. Lots of picture taking and cheers, but I think it was for my awesome ride. Thank You to my great family friend Virgil Haugen for loaning me your eye catching ride. It was a crowd favorite!

While in Tombstone, I had alot of fans that wanting pictures after the parade.

October 16

On October 16 I had the opportunity to travel down to GreenValley, AZ and speak to the women and staff members of the Santa Rita Nusering Home about Breast Cancer Awareness. It was great to meet and have time with the young women of the staff and provide information for them and meet a women who was 90 years old and a breast cancer survivor. The rewarding part of my title is being able to reach women of all ages. Thank you to the staff of Santa Rita Home.
