Children's Miracle Network

We set up at Costco to raise money for the Children's Miracle Network.

We did face painting and photos by donation with all the proceeds going to CMN. Jen- Miss Hemisphere City- did a great job utilizing her artistic skills.

Thanks to Costco and Dos Kiwis Studios for a great event!

Happy Mother's Day 2009

We spent the morning volunteering at Meals on Wheels. We passed out flowers, cards, and goodies handmade by local Girl Scouts to volunteers delivering meals to homebound elderly citizens. Thank you to all our special Moms!

Jen- Miss Hemisphere City and Lucy- Mrs. Alamo City (contestants in the upcoming Miss San Antonio pageant) were both on hand to volunteer. Thanks also to Lucy's husband and their baby girl for getting involved.

Dan, a dedicated CSS board member, brought his boys out to volunteer.

My awesome little helpers! Thanks, girls.

Teens from the Eastside and Teen Center Branches of the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Antonio delivered over 2 dozen meals!

VIVA FIESTA- Texas Cavaliers River Parade 2009

San Antonio Fighting Back invited me to ride on their Texas Cavaliers River Parade float.

Our float theme was "Native Americans," so I, and friends from AIT and the StMU Native American Student Association, dressed in full native regalia to celebrate our culture with the city!

It was such a great time-- people showered us with glow jewelry, cascarones, roses, beads, and even a tortilla!

Viva Fiesta - Celebrations of Traditions Pow Wow

At the 2009 Fiesta Celebrations of Traditions Pow Wow, sponsored by United San Antonio Pow Wow which is headed by Erwin DeLuna, we shared the traditions of our rich native culture.

Tom, from Maine, a Fiesta military ambassador, danced to the drum as my two-step dance partner.

I was able to catch up with friends from the St. Mary's University Native American Student Association and other friends from the pow wow circle.

Mike is an amazing fancy dancer.

Charles Barrett, president of the Fiesta Commission, spared a few moments for a photo.
