Why hello there! The past few months Alyssa, Kennedie and myself have had a hectic, but enjoyable time! Since the last time we checked in, we have done numerous events, including the CIBC Run for the Cure, the Chamber Business Excellence Awards and the Hope for hospice Masquerade Ball. Also, the Kamloops Royalty as well as our British Columbia Ambassador Acacia Schmietenknop, have taken on the duty of selling 50/50 tickets at every home Storm Game!
The CIBC Run for the Cure was a fantastic event. We got to mingle with the supporters, show our own support, and even sing O’ Canada before the runners started the walk/run. Boy, that was sure fun! While the people were out running, Acacia, Alyssa, Kennedie and myself got to sign the banner and take a picture in the fire truck. Once the runners/walkers were starting to return, we cheered as they crossed the finish line. We had an amazing time!
On October 13th, we were honoured to be a part of the big night for businesses, the Chamber Business Excellence Awards. Here, all four of us greeted guests and got them seated, then stood on stage while the presentations were taking place. What a successful night!
An event that was for such a great cause, and the biggest impact on myself, was the Hope for Hospice Masquerade Ball. This event was spectacular, and the proceeds got to the Margorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice right here in Kamloops. While Alyssa and Kennedie assisted the photobooth, Acacia and myself worked the coat check, a very wonderful event that we were excited to be a part of!
And finally, when you are watching our very own Storm players play on home ice, don’t forget to purchase your 50/50 tickets, sold to you by the four of us ourselves, Go Storm Go!!
As the leaves fall off the trees, and the snow files in the air, we are getting ready for our busy season, winter! Soon, Alyssa, Kennedie and myself will be visiting the high schools and welcoming candidates for 2013/2014. We are also looking forward to all the holiday events, parades and breakfasts that we get to be a part of!
As our year almost reaches its halfway mark, we are sad it is flying by, but we also are ready for new experiences, memories and laughs.
Yours Truly,
~Mikayla Russell, Kamloops Princess 2012
