I received a phone call recently from Joanne Moore who is president of the Women’s Club of Uxbridge, asking me to attend an event that was being held in my hometown, Uxbridge. The event was a chocolate tasting evening for the Women’s Club of Uxbridge and the Rotary Club. I couldn’t wait to be a part of it because my weakness is most definitely chocolate- I mean who’s is it not! There were chocolate distributers, factory owners, and makers there selling anything from fudge to fried strawberry chocolate covered Oreos (which for the record, are my favorite)! A few of the individuals who made chocolate offered to attend my sendoff before Miss Teen USA and make some goodies, which I thought was so kind. I was able to meet so many wonderful individuals from the Women’s Club as well as the Rotary Club. Joanne’s husband is actually Senator Richard Moore. He is a wonderful man and is very involved in the activities throughout my school. Last year I was honored to attend a Luncheon with him and Governor Deval Patrick, so it was great to reconnect with him during the course of the evening. He even wrote me a personalized letter prior to it and had it mailed to my school to congratulate me for all my community service hours, academic awards, athletic accomplishments, and awards received throughout my school year. I was honored to receive that letter and have his wife Joanne, call me only a few short weeks later. I also had a wonderful event and I am so thankful they asked me to be a part of it!
