Hello everyone! Since my last journal entry I have had many wonderful appearances that I had to write another journal entry about them all.
It started on October 29th at the Civic Center in Carbonear where I participated in the Mayors Walk (Heart and Stroke Foundation) in Memory of th
e late Claude Garland, Mayor of Carbonear. This was a very emotional appearance for me as Mr. Garland was a very dear friend of mine. A lot of people turned out to walk in his memory and it was a great night for it. Mr. Garland was a person in my life who helped me become who I am today by believing in me and the things I did. I am very grateful to have had him in my life and I was very honored to be able to participate and raise money for this walk in his memory. NTV was also there to tape the walk and speak about Mr. Garland and his life. It was a very moving appearance for me.
On Halloween I traveled to St. John's to the Janeway Children's Hospital for their Trick-or-Treat party. I was able to go around to the many floors with the children and collect candy for those children who couldn't get out to do it. After receiving the candy from the nursing stations the children proceeded to "The Ship" where they had a Halloween party with music, candy and drinks. It was a very fun appearance for me and I am very glad to have been able to get out to the Janeway for Halloween.
The next weekend tur
ned out to be a very busy one for me! On November 2nd at 9am I boarded the DRL Coachlines bus and traveled all the way to Central NL for the Triton Volunteer Fire Department Telethon. The first thing that I was given was a grand tour of Robert's Arm, Triton and Brighton from Bram, a resident of Triton. After touring the towns I was brought right to the fire station to meet the Triton Volunteer Fire Department Members. Even though it was late the fireman were generous enough to give me a tour of the fire station and even take pictures. I was very happy that night to be joined by Sherylynn Butt from Provincial Airlines, a previous Miss Newfoundland and Labrador (2003) and Miss Canada Galaxy (2006).
The next morning Sherylynn and I went back to the fire station to get ready for the run-through of the telethon, but the members of the Fire Department had different plans for us. First we met up with Shane Budgell - the organizer of the telethon. Then we were shown the brand new fire truck that the Department had bought in 2005. We were able to take pictures in the Provincial Airlines jackets with the new truck and I was completely beside myself...but that wasn't the best part. After those pictures were taken one of the members brought out the Fireman's Uniform (which Sherry and I were told was called "Bunker Gear"). So to make my day so much better I was allowed to put on the bunker gear and take lots of pictures. The fireman ha
d a great time and they decided that I should take as many pictures as possible with all of the gear they had: oxygen masks, the saw and yes..even the Jaws of Life. I was able to get into the truck and test it out some of the gears in the back. What a great time it was! I was so happy to be able to interact with the fireman and get to know them well. It put a whole different perspective on firefighting for me to actually get into the Bunker Gear and see what they have to put on each and every time duty calls them. After that was done Sherry and I were taken out in the fire truck for a drive around the community. It was our duty to make announcements and remind the residents about the telethon taking place that night. After that it was back to the Fire Station for a run through. There we were met by Sabrina Fitzpatrick, Miss Teen Canada Scholarship.
After the run through we changed and went to PJ's for a meet and greet with the fi
reman and some of the people involved in the telethon. It was there that I met one of the most amazing 10 year olds I will ever meet - Dante Hiscock. Dante is a gospel singer and has the voice of an angel. At the age of 10 he has already been nominated for three awards, including an East Coast Music Award. Talk about amazing. At PJ's I was also able to take many pictures with different people and the staff was generous enough to allow me to take photos with some of the hockey memorabilia.
That night brought the telethon. From 6pm until 9 pm we were on television trying to raise money for the fire department for new Bunker Gear. Shane, Shery and I were in one part of the studio and
Sabrina and some of the other fireman were in another part receiving the donations and helping set up the performers. We took turns going back and forth between the sets promoting the fire department, local talent and of course answering the phones and taking pledges. I had a blast at this event and I am so pleased that I got to partake in it. I want to send out a few special thanks: Thank you to the town of Triton, the Triton Volunteer Fire Department, Shane, Bram, and a very special thank you to DRL Coachlines. This appearance was so amazing for me and I can't wait to travel to Central NL again this year!
Just yesterday I did my interview with The Newfoundland Herald. It was so much fun to do and I had a great time. I can not wait to see it on the stands...so keep watching for it!!!!
Love Always,
