The Mayor and Provo City is Behind us!
We are soooooo excited! The meeting with the Mayor was awesome! The Mayor's office is behind us 100% and want us to succeed! The Mayor wants a Miss Provo and wants his City represented like the rest of us. With Provo city supporting us and people aware of what Miss Provo really does and what she stands for I really think everyone can pull together and make this work! The Mayor did say he wishes he would have called us into his office and let us know in person. I know that would have stop all of this from happening and the media getting only part of the story straight leaving out other parts...We all know how they work..Anyway it was a Good Day! Now if all the rest of the days can be this good we will have it made!

Meeting with the Mayor...Reward Achievement!
We have a meeting with Mayor Curtis on Thursday! We are hoping that at this meeting we can help him understand that we need to reward achievement! We need the support of Provo City, not necessarily financial support but physical support. How can we have a Miss Provo if the city of Provo is not behind her? It is amazing to me how many people stay at home and collect unemployment and welfare and we have these girls that go and do so much community service and the City is not willing to Reward Achievement! We will be selling shirts that say..."Reward Achievement" and "Provo Proud"proceeds will go to fund The Miss Provo Pageant!
If you would like to purchase one of these two shirts or if you have a retail store and want to carry them please let us know! We need to "Reward Achievement"!

Is it true that "so few women benefit from it"?
I do understand in hard times come hard choices. The Mayor's office has made it clear. This was not a hard choice because "so few young women benefit from it". I also believe the Mayor's office has it wrong! I quote from Mayor John Curtis on www.provo.org
"Growing up, I always thought of Provo as a magic place. As mayor, I want to make sure it continues to be a memorable place." I do not think he really understand what it is "Miss Provo" does and represents.
I want everyone to know it more then a crown and it is not a beauty pageant.I think it should be called the Community Service pageant, there is way more community service involved in Miss Provo then scholarship. Miss Provo represents the city of Provo in Miss Utah, Freedom Fest, Days of 47,Holiday parade, Springville, Payson, Pleasant Grove, Orem, Spanish Fork, Flag Day & Veterans Day ceremonies,Provo's parade, The 4Th of July parade,Strawberry days, BYU Homecoming, ribbon cutting for new business opening in Provo, she has a platform in which she does, community service, Children's festival not only does she raise money for CMN Children's Miracle Network she spends countless hours volunteering her time making blankets for those children or anything else they need help with. So Please Mr. Mayor, please tell me how "so few young women benefit from it"?
I agree with the Mayor..quote from Mayor John Curtis on www.provo.org
"Growing up, I always thought of Provo as a magic place. As mayor, I want too make sure it continues to be a memorable place."
I to want to make sure Provo is a memorable place a place where people from all over the state want to come and visit. How is it that taking away Miss Provo and everything she represents for this city is going to help in keeping Provo Magical?
Provo is such a HUGE part of Utah and the Utah culture. Provo is the second largest city in this state, yet you want to take away the Representative to represent us the city of Provo in these state wide traditions and functions?
Can you see it is not about a crown. Itis about loving Provo City and being proud of where we live. It's about showing other city's that we are"Provo Proud", we are Proud we live in Provo.
I want the city I love to be represented. I do not want Provo to be the blackeye or missing city from all of these statewide traditions.
I love my city and I want Provo to be represented so we can keep the magic alive.

There are always options
I truly believe no matter what the circumstance, there are always options. Maybe this time I am wrong. Yes, I do understand that 3 Million dollars needs to be cut from Provo City's budget and fast. We understand.
Why was Miss Provo cut so fast without even a second thought of...."This event is starting in less then 3 weeks what can we do to cut the budget but keep the program alive?"
To this point this is what I am being told.. Since the City is not supporting Miss Provo we cannot get city pricing. Really? Miss Provo cannot get city pricing at the building the city runs? Provo is not taking money out of it's budget to pay for it. You give us hardly any time to raise money and now everything is costing us much more because Miss Provo is not supported by the city. I really cannot believe that Miss Provo is not supported by Provo,even though she will be representing the city of Provo.
Does the City have to give us money to "quote" support us?
If so give us a $1 dollar and support us. Without the city's support we have to pay over a $1000 more on just one venue, let alone all the other venues, is crazy! If the city can't afford to provide the funding for Miss Provo Scholarship Pagaent, please support us so can save money on our venues and offer these girls a better schlarship fund.
It's not just about a crown or a title, it's about representing our city in this state.
