A Casino Night Benefitting the Lupis Foundation of America!

I'm sure you remember Miss Berlin-Gorham Josie Pearce from her visit to Section 36 not too long ago. During that visit, she talked about many things, including her platform The Lupis Foundation. 

With that in mind, I wanted to point out that Josie will be having a Casino Night next month, to support the Luis Foundation and all the work they do. I love it when titleholders go all out in support of their platform. I urge you to check out Josie's Miss Berlin-Gorham Instagram page for all the details.

But, direct from the Event itself...

Join us for a fun night of dinner, dancing, cocktails, casino gambling, and silent auction on February 24th at one of Southern California's premier movie studios, all to benefit the Lupus Foundation of America.

Lupus is an autoimmune disease that affects 1.5 million people living in the United States.

When Josie Pearce was fifteen, she was diagnosed with this debilitating disease. She was a sophomore at Los Alamitos High School and suddenly her world changed forever.

She came to terms with her diagnosis with help from family, friends, and the Lupus Foundation of America. She soon realized her experience could be used to help others suffering from the same disease, so she became involved with this foundation.

Josie, now a sophomore in college, is working with the Lupus Foundation of America to be a warrior against lupus by hosting "CHIP" in to Make a Difference. Join her family and friends as she raises funds, raises awareness, and helps put an end to this cruel and mysterious disease. Thank you for your support!

Buy your ticket today, which includes dinner, dancing, drinks, and casino gambling. Early bird price of $50 until January 31st.

That's right, you better hurry. Today is the last day for that early bird pricing! I know it will be a great event for a worth cause!

And, if you see Josie, be sure to tell her you enjoyed her visit!

Alayna is a Nerd Girl

And that's a wonderful thing!

I'm sure you remember Alayna Westcom's visit to Section 36 back in August of 2015 while she was

wearing the Miss Vermont crown. Since then, her visit has become the most read visit to Section 36 so far! 

While she visited, I was struck by the fact that her talent for the Miss America competition was a science experiment. What an incredible thing to see on the Miss America stage. It also fit in perfectly with her platform of getting STEM classes focused on by America's schools. Clearly this was something that was important to her, as it should be.

She hasn't stopped working towards that goal since turning over her crown. 

In fact, she recently revealed that she will be making an online appearance with Nerd Girls, where she'll be talking about forensics, and getting more women involved in STEM. I can't think of a better idea.

While the date of her appearance has yet to be released, it's on its way! Until then, I strongly suggest you head over to Nerd Girls and look around. Even better, make a donation to support the launch of the site and help bring their worthwhile content to the masses. 

After that, keep going back to make sure you catch Alayna's appearance. 

I know I can't wait to see it!
