Mrs. Plus America Has A Busy Month Scheduled!
See below
for Monique Bruner's October Itinerary: |
|
October 11, 2009 - 2009 AIDS Walk of Oklahoma City
Myriad Botanical Gardens - Downtown Oklahoma City
Registration 12:30 p.m. Walk 2:00 p.m.
http://www.aidswalkokc.org/
The AIDS epidemic is far from being over. Although AIDS
death rates have declined due to drug therapy, new
infection rates have not declined; therefore, Oklahoma
City area case loads continue to increase. Females and
young people are becoming infected at an increasing rate
than in the past and communities of color continue to be
disproportionately affected.
October 11, 2009 – Dove
Self-Esteem Workshop Part 2 – The Completion
Langston University – OKC, 4205 N. Lincoln Blvd – from
3:00 – 6:00 p.m.
This workshop is for girls ages 6-17 and their adult
mentors. These Queens and Princesses Tea Party will focus
on socialization and self-esteem training based on the
Dove principles. You can find more about the program at
http://www.dove.us/#/us_landing.aspx.
The Community Youth Outreach (CYO) received the Dove grant
last year and this is their 2nd workshop. The
CYO group does great work in the community and I’m a key
spokesperson for their events. CYO is located at 1208 NE
50th on Oklahoma City, OK 73111 and they can be
reached by phone at (405) 424-2064 or via email at cyookc@aol.com.
October 23 – 25, 2009 – Plus Teen USA Pageant and
Conference in Arlington, TX
www.plusteenusa.com
Monique will be leading a team of pageant coaches and
judges that will educate, encourage and inspire young
ladies and women. The National Director, Jacqueline
Lawrence, has put together an outstanding conference and
pageant. “The Original Runway Diva”, Sharon Quinn, will
be guest speaker and trainer during the conference. If
you live in the area, you still have time to register just
go to the website. The fabulous Ruby Gettinger of the
Style Network’s “Ruby” will make a special guest
appearance and will be taping the pageant. So join me
and the other Oklahoma Queens as we continue “Promoting
Inner Beauty and Confidence that Permeates Outwardly” at
the Plus Teen USA Pageant and Conference.
October – All Month Long
In recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month,
Monique will be collecting and donating toiletry items for
the Women’s Shelter in Norman, OK. This project will be
combined with the efforts of the Rose State College
Domestic Violence Committee and the Oklahoma City Urban
League Young Professionals. Monique hopes to personal
collect and donate over 100 items so that someone else can
feel better with their decision to leave a domestic
violence situation.
The Girl Scout Troop #630 has decided to work with the
Sigma Beta Club to gather 5,000 can foods and/or
non-perishable items.
They have made it a competition between grade levels at
the school and will be offering some great prizes in
November for the winners. You can make a financial
contribution via paypal by emailing me at
n2delta@yahoo.com
or you can bring items up to
Marcus Garvey Leadership Charter School located at 1537 NE
24th in OKC. We will need everyone’s help to
reach our goal and put food on the table in numerous
Oklahoma homes. I want to thank the men of Phi Beta Sigma
– Delta Beta Sigma Chapter, teachers at Marcus Garvey
Leadership Charter School, and Feed the Children.
NOVEMBER!!!!

Monique is working with Joyce
Smiley (Ms. Oklahoma Plus America Lifetime) to put on a

Is MPA "Taboo"?
National Geographic's flagship series,
"Taboo" will be present at this year's Miss Plus America
Pageant. "Taboo" is a long running documentary series shot
on every continent around the world and focuses on the world's
most interesting animal, the human. The series is
dedicating an episode about dispelling the myth that big is not
beautiful. Coronet Productions is looking forward to
working with this prestigious and award winning company in the
hopes of bringing understanding that being perfect in others'
eyes is not what is important. What is important is living
our lives beyond the boundaries of the perception of perfection
in the eyes of others.
GO MPA!
