As a witness to Ashley's competing at
Nationals In Omaha, lets say it was no contest.
She was AWESOME! She is one Classy Young Lady.
She represented both Your chapter and
the Florida Jaycees with Grace and Pride.
I know she will be a great Jaycee, she has the heart for it.
Have a great day Zephyrhills.

This was the dress for the awards banquet. I felt a little overdressed, but everyone liked it so that made me feel better.

This is Tatiana. She works at South Beach Fashions in Daytona Beach on Seabreeze Blvd. She helped me pick out the most awesome dress- it is the dress I decided to wear for the Jaycees Idol competition on Saturday night. Actually there was also another dress that she suggested that I liked, but it wasn't in the budget. For some reason, I just couldn't get a withdrawal from the Bank of Mom.
Well, this one definitely looked better on the hangar.
Looks pretty elegant, but not this week.
Yep- this is the Idol dress!
This was on the balcony of our room at the Plaza Ocean Club. It was very windy and kinda cool, but still a pretty day.
Rick Struchko, Community Vice President and Drew Ramsay, International Assistant VP join Ashley poolside for the beach party.
