We are thrilled to welcome you to the 34th Biennial Lutheran Women’s Missionary League (LWML) Convention. You are in for an exciting time as you experience the program planned and prepared by the 2011 LWML Conven- tion Programming Committee and hosted by the members of the 2011 Convention Host Committee from LWML Central Illinois District. It is our prayer that you will grow through the inspirational worship, singing, uplifting Bible study sessions, motivational mission speakers, opportunities to meet new people, and renew friendships and fellowship at meal times. Take the time to explore mission opportunities presented by the many informational exhibits and numerous other convention “extras” in this Midwest city by the river. We are sure you will enjoy this convention as we experience Being with Jesus – Living on the Edge. This convention manual provides most of the details you will need for your convention experience and will serve as a concise summary of the 2009-2011 biennium. Some have called this manual our LWML yearbook—you may want to save it for future reference. You will find other valuable items in your convention tote bag, including the first issue of the convention daily newspaper, Peoria Playbill, the convention space locator, and many items to review regarding LWML resources and products. Be sure to visit the exhibits where you will find many other informational resources. Need help or have a question? The LWML Information Booth has two locations – one in the registra- tion area in the Terrazzo Lobby and the other one above the escalator on the fourth level. They are staffed to answer any questions that you may have. The Message Center will be nearby in the Great Hall, street level for you to post a note to contact someone. Again, welcome!

    Miss Maryland & Children’s Miracle Network Contestant Fundraising Idea Guide Help Making Miracles Happen: Saving Lives and Helping Kids Get Better! FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Indiana’s Katie Stam Named as Miss America 2009, Will Serve as Goodwill Ambassador for Children’s Miracle Network SALT LAKE CITY (Jan. 24, 2009)—Children’s Miracle Network, an international non-profit that raises funds for 170 children’s hospitals, congratulates Katie Stam, Indiana, on being named Miss America. Children’s Miracle Network is the official national platform for the Miss America Organization. Each year the new Miss America will serve as a goodwill ambassador for the charity, raising funds and awareness for the nation’s premier children’s hospitals, which are a part of Children's Miracle Network. “Children's Miracle Network has the pleasure of working closely with Miss America each year as we work to raise money for children’s hospitals around the country,” said Scott Burt, president and CEO, Children's Miracle Network. “We look forward to getting to know Katie as she joins us in promoting our events, visiting patients in our hospitals, and helping us in our mission of saving and improving the lives of children.” Children’s Miracle Network has a nearly 20-year history working with the Miss America Organization, but has been the official national platform since 2007. In working with the previous two Miss America’s — Kirsten Haglund (2008) and Lauren Nelson (2007) — the partnership has raised more than $2.3 million, benefiting children’s hospitals across the nation. The partnership also extends to the women competing at the local, state and national levels of the pageant, asking each contestant who participates to be responsible for raising funds on behalf of Children’s Miracle Network and the Miss America Scholarship fund.

I wanted to make sure the impression they formed • Mismanaging Impressions: Spoiled of me was that of a likable fellow whom they’d be proud to call a mem- Identities ber of the family someday. As people busily opened their presents, I noticed the wide and gleeful eyes of a 14-year-old girl as she unwrapped what was to her a special gift— her very own basketball. Being the youngest in a family of eight kids, she didn’t have much she could call her own, so this was a significant moment for her. She had finallydistribute broken away from a life filled with hand-me-downs and communal equipment. She hugged that ball as if it were a puppy. I saw my chance to make the perfect first impression.or “I’m not a bad basketball player,” I thought to myself. “I’ll take her outside to the basketball hoop in the driveway, dazzle her with my shooting skills, become her idol, and win family approval.” “Hey, Mary,” I said. “Let’s go out and shoot some hoops.” After we stepped outside, I grabbed the new ball from her. “Watch this,” I said as I flung it toward the basket from about 40 feet away.

  • Testimonials
    Testimonials “I could not have won Miss America without Shea! With nine tap dancers heading to Las Vegas this past January, I knew I needed a competitive edge. Shea's choreography challenged me and captured my personality to a 'T.' I had so much fun in my preparation for Miss America thanks to Shea's kick-butt attitude and no-nonsense approach to making people awesome!” - Mallory Hagan, Miss America 2013 “Working with Shea was one of the most awesome and yet tiring experiences ever! Never have I had a teacher who was able to pinpoint exactly what I needed to take my routine to the next level but also relate to me on a personal level. I appreciate the time she's spent with me because I know no one else could've been so beneficial to me!” -Alicia Clifton, Miss OK and Miss America 2013 2nd Runner-Up and Preliminary Talent winner “ Shea Sullivan’s choreography makes my costumes come alive. ” -Designer Stephen Yearick “ Working with Shea before Miss Connecticut and leading up to Miss America was probably the best decision I made in all my years competing. I had always struggled with something in regards to my talent, but thanks to Shea I feel like my dancing has been brought to a new level. She has challenged me in many ways, and in the process has made me a stronger dancer, and contestant. I've never felt so excited to perform a piece. Shea helped me to keep the integrity of a classical ballet variation, and at the same time to make it even more entertaining and relatable for the Miss America stage.

Maddox ___________________________ Thomas A. Tweed ___________________________ Timothy B. Tyson An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate Program in Religion in the Graduate School of Duke University 2014 Copyright by Mandy Ellene McMichael 2014 Abstract Christian engagement with beauty contests shifted dramatically between the initial Miss America pageant in 1921 and its 90 th anniversary in 2011. This dissertation explores how and why many Christians found the organization an institution worthy of partnership with the church. It examines three aspects of Christian involvement in the contest: the long history of beauty pageants, the persistent emphasis on individual physical attractiveness, and the idea of witness in southern evangelical culture. It argues that after 1965, at least two factors enabled the unlikely marriage of Christians and the Miss America Organization: the perceived threat of second-wave feminism and evangelicalism’s increasing desire to engage culture.
