July/Aug. 2012: The Book of McCausland

Chapter 3: Well I must say that this month has been Hot, Hot, Hot, and it’s hard to believe that we still have August to get through and I see no relief coming to us any time soon. I hope that everyone is staying cool by staying in or by a pool and getting your summer tans on.
Speaking of August, it’s the beginning of the Miss Gay Missouri America 2013 pageant season and we kick it off with my very first preliminary. I’m so excited to be getting things rolling and I hope that everyone will come out to show your support for me and the MGMA pageant system. 
Miss Metropolitan
Our first Prelim will be Miss Gay Metropolitan on August 12th at Attitudes Nightclub (StL) at 9 p.m. This is an open city preliminary to all those in our Missouri Cities and just over the Missouri state line here in St Louis. So for all you contestants wanting to qualify early for MGMA 2013 – come on down you can be our next contestant. Please visit our webpage at www.mgmpageantry.com  or visit us on Facebook at Miss Gay Missouri, America Pageant for all the details and promoter contact information. Don’t wait till the last minute to get your ticket for next year – they will all be over before you know it. Our website will also give you all the details on pageants that are coming up or you can read my newsletter for info each month.

On July 1st I spent the day with the MGMA board looking at venues and hotels for MGMA 2013. We have decided on the dates and they are set – the venue is picked and I’m thrilled about where we are holding the pageant. The hotel is being finalized and I know everyone is going to be very happy with all the decisions that have been made.

I must say that these 5 men (Daniel Flier, aka Vanessa Vincent; Emilio Olvera, aka Lexsus Chaney; Jeff Thompson, aka Atheena Voce; Leon Braxton, aka Dieta Pepsi and Michael Klataski, aka Jade Sinclair) who make up the MGMA board are a joy to work with and to be around. They work very hard to bring you the very best pageant and keep your best interests at heart. They all have welcomed me with open arms and have been there to help me learn just how this ship runs effectively and efficiently. I thank them from the bottom of my heart for all they have done in the past and continue to do for all of us now. The 40th is going to be an amazing year and you don’t want to miss it.
       
In closing, I again invite everyone to come out on August 12 to my first preliminary as your MGMA 2012 and show the MGMA America Pageant System and myself your support, hope to see you there.

Stay cool,

Miss Gay Missouri 2012
Michelle McCausland




August 2012: MGMA Board Letter

Dear Contestants,


Well – July is almost over and another month for this year is almost gone. We hope everyone had an amazing fourth and celebrated with those that are close to you. We also hope that everyone is surviving this hot, hot heat. July has been a scorcher and we still have August to get through and it’s normally the worst month of the summer and we can’t even imagine what it will bring.
        
This month we saw yet another senseless tragedy in this country and the Miss Gay Missouri Alumni and its Board members and all our friends and followers send our thoughts and prayers to all those in Aurora, Colorado. May you find peace and comfort in the memories of those that were lost.
