2018 Jr Princess Service Project
For one of my service projects, I helped Neighbors, a social service agency providing emergency and supportive services in northern Dakota County. I collected more than 20 bags of clothes and shoes for their thrift store, The Clothes Closet, and about 10 bags of food and toiletries for the food shelf. I also volunteered for four hours at the food shelf, labeling all the food that came in, and four hours at the Clothes Closet, putting tags on clothes.

2018 Miss Inver Grove Heights Service Project
As Miss Inver Grove Heights, one of my duties is to complete three service projects. For my first one, I created something I call Comfort for a Cause. Through this I sewed therapeutic rice bags. They are made from 100% cotton flannel and filled with enriched rice. They can be used hot or cold and are a non medicinal alternative to painkillers. Although they may not have the same effect they still provide comfort. I made these and I donated them to the Minnesota Oncology Woodbury Campus Chemotherapy rooms for patients receiving chemo. I also sold them and raised over $300 in which I donated to the American Cancer Society and the Angel Foundation. I am still selling them and I hope to continue this project. I am so excited to see where it goes!

Jr Miss Sponsor Visit
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the South Saint Paul/Inver Grove Heights Rotary Club for their sponsorship this year. Without their generous donation it would not have been possible. I have enjoyed going their meeting and learning all of the great things that they do like hosting a foreign exchange student. They have given me the opportunity as well to share my experiences with them. On my last visit I was joined by some of my current royalty as well as our current candidates. We had a delicious meal and were able to talk about all of the events that we have coming up and the candidates were able to see what the Rotary is all about as well. Thank you again for supporting our program!
