Meeting the Massachusetts ladies! First, Mrs. Connecticut United States 2007, Wendy Reynolds...

I was asked to perform for the Mattatuck Senior Center's Salute to Veterans event held at the Seven Angels Theatre in Waterbury. Here I am with the event coordinator and Waterbury Veteran, John Sarlo and two lovely seniors.
I was thrilled to take my talents to New Jersey to perform for the Tin Can Sailors annual dinner as supporting the Veterans is my lifelong passion.
On May 1, 2007, I proudly accepted the title of Mrs. Connecticut International 2007. Because we don't have a state pageant, I represented Connecticut "at large." However, it was after extensive interviews with the home office of the Mrs. International pageant. I was very proud to be selected to represent Connecticut in July at the Mrs. International Pageant in Chicago, Illinois! THANK YOU so much Catherine Fiehn for donating your incredible talent as a photographer for my official photo! 
The Glory Girls were supposed to be in the Hartford St. Patrick's Day Parade today and then there was this crazy snowstorm!
