Planning Committee for Briar Cliff
Destiny Miller and her fellow nursing officers organized this event at Briar Cliff College in Sioux City, IA. They did a great job and we had over 100 students attend the event. I was able to talk about my experience as Mrs. Iowa, how I have been involved with the American Heart Association, and also talk about the Go Red for Women campaign. We had a great time and thanks for taking me out to Minerva's to eat--that was a treat. Good luck to all those future nurses as they finish up their last couple of months.
Planning Committee for the Red Heart Affair
They had a beautiful supper. The committee did a great job. I had the priviledge to speak at the event and tell about my year. This event was a fundraiser for the upcoming Plymouth County Heart Walk in LeMars.

This is Daphne Christensen. She came to support the event, but is also the President and Founder of the non-profit organization DylansSmile.
She had ordered her fabulous red shoes from Gotham City Online and we were "published" on their blog site.
