The contestants were beautiful, looked self assured, gracious, articulate. The judges must have a difficult time judging but they were prepared to face the formidable task. It was a happy, emotional, exciting, breath taking event. The event was made memorable by the presence of former Miss Oceanside Queens. Brian Graham was marvelous as the emcee. The entertainer Debbie Nicastro wowed the crowd with her rendition of " My Girl" and "Over the Rainbow" with the audience enthusiastically clapping, responding to the songs, and giving loud appreciation. Sienna Trinh was also wonderful as the entertainer. Kudos to Lion pageant coordinator/director Pam Pahnke who did an excellent job and put in a lot of time recruiting, preparing and reassuring the contestants. She was assisted by lovely Carmina Barker. Chairman Bonnie Mitchell was there encouraging the contestants. We had a professionally done program thanks to the artistic Rose Teding. Marvelous decorations on stage and the front were done by both talented Lions: VP Liz Latassa & Jackie Knapp. Other Lions had assignments to do which they did with enthusiasm and were amazing: Dir. Marc Manlapaz, Belle Limoge, Gloria Ash, Thelma Pantig, treas. Rica Derosier, Mely Sivage, Dr. Fred Knapp, sec. Ed Ash and the volunteers were superb Princess Ashley Campbell, Teen Princess Janelle Murphy, Mildred Murphy, Alice Vitug, George Mitchell, Jr., Gracie & Sol.
