Hello Friends
Well on December 12, 2009. I had the opportunity to participate in the 15th Annual Tucson Holiday Parade of Lights. It was a fun experience, the weather was great. Not too cold. The parade route was lined with lots of people, so I got to wish the people of Tucson Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Prior to the start of the parade, my entry was next to some children's groups. I met with the children of the John Valenzuela Youth center, they represent gang prvention. It was fun talking with them about the how important their futures are and avoiding gangs. Its great to be a positive person for the kids. I also spoke with children who supported Toys for Tots and also met young marching band members from The Fountain of Life school. Overall the parade was fun, somewhat cold and great experience. Thank You to my friend Kathy Lauer for loaning me the car and to my husband TJ for driving and my son Alex for helping.
Happy Holidays to everyone and I will see you all in the new year!
Hugs
Elisa, Mrs. Arizona America 2009
