Again, we will be sponsoring an Open House activity. The Open house will be held on April 19th, starting at 2 pm at the Comfort Inn, located in Wysox, PA. Committee members will be in attendance to discuss all aspects of the program including the showing of a video of past programs. There will be displays and scrapbooks on hand to further give future participants an idea of what the program is all about. Food and beverages will be served.
The Outstanding Young Woman program is an experience that aids young women in developing skills and talents that will benefit them in their future, as well as, provide cash scholarships totaling over $11,000.
Although the program is set for September, the preliminary evaluations will be held on Sunday, May 3rd. No girl may enter the fall program without first completing the spring preliminary selection process. Preliminaries consist of a five minute interview, one or more performing arts presentations of their choice, evaluations of a shortened aerobics and fitness routine, and a presence and presentation routine. Scholarship and achievement is based upon GPA and community and school activities.
After contestants are chosen, they are invited to attend summer activities and an overnight get together rehearsal to become acquainted. Rehearsals are held on Sunday afternoons in September, culminating with a weekend dress rehearsal and on-stage program. Questions about the program can be directed to Cynthia Young, Board Chairperson, 265-3834, Bonnie Fulkerson, Program Chairperson, 265-6318 and Becky Basse, Spring Co-Chairperson @ 265-5866.
