Princess Wishes Tea and Coronation

November 2, 2009

Hello Miss Indiana Local Directors!

I wanted to share with you and your titleholders an opportunity to help out at a local event supporting the 2009 Miss Ball State’s and Miss Ball State Outstanding Teen’s platforms: The Make-A-Wish Foundation and local children’s charities. The Miss BSU Scholarship Program will be hosting a “Princess Wishes Tea and Coronation” on November 21st at the Muncie Mall from 2-4pm. Local Princesses who register will have their hair styled, make-up done, and will participate in fun crafts, activities, and a runway show. It would be great to have other local titleholders volunteer at the event celebrating the little Princesses!  Local Directors, please pass this information on to your titleholder.  The event will take place in the mall in front of the Macy’s entrance and we ask that those who can help at this event arrive at the Muncie Mall by 1pm.  See the flier posted below as well. Please email myself or the Ball State director Carol Kosisko at ckosisko@bsu.edu<mailto:ckosisko@bsu.edu> with responses or questions.

Thank you so much for your help in making local princesses’ wishes come true!
