Hi Maureen, I just want to say Thank you! To you and all your tremendous staff. What a wonderful experience for all young women. Anna, is definitely a more mature young lady from this experience. How delightful to meet so many ladies with enthusiasm and long term goals, confidently sharing themselves with us. Jo Haslund, Parent of Anna Haslund (Semi-finalist, Spirit Award & Photogenic)
Good morning, Maureen and David! I want to say thank you so much for gave me an opportunity to experience this pageant show and I had amazing new friendships with those girls. I feel such proud of you, David, and everyone include myself for hard work to bring a magic on this pageant show together! I may not be Miss Montana USA but I am your best dancer and free spirit friend with such kindness smile. I hope we can keep in touch as true friends forever! Also, I hope l can come and visit you both often in WA for a coffee drink or Seattle hang out. You both are so kind, patience, and understanding with being awesome directors! But also loyal, professional, and sweet friends to me forever.
Such hugs, Miss Anna Haslund
Hi Maureen it’s Shannon, I just wanted to say thank you so much for this weekend and all the work you’ve put in to help us before it. Being around all the girls and your crew made me feel so empowered and supported! I honestly feel like I’ve made friends for a lifetime. I’m not sure which state my job will take me to when my contract is up but if I’m still here by next pageant season, you’ll definitely be seeing me! I hope you all have a safe trip back home and to all your other pageants this year.

Thank you for offering me the wonderful opportunity to compete in this years pageant! I has so much fun, learned so much, and I have gained so much more confidence in who I am as an individual. I hope to learn even more next year! I also wanted to let you know that all my sisters that came had so much fun and are already talking about raising money to do this next year. Which I love because coming from such a big family, we don't really get the opportunity to do fun things like this. To be able to open a door like this to my siblings so they can grow is amazing and heartwarming. So I am really thankful that you keep this pageant going to help young girls like us who do not get the opportunity to try these things everyday. Thank you so much!!
Thanks,
Jacqueline Karge, 2020 Miss Montana USA Contestant
Maureen and David; I sure miss emailing you guys. Thank you again for the memories you help us build and helping my Savannah and the other girls feel special and supported. I really appreciate it, and I know she does too. All your assistants and volunteers were very nice too. Your son added with his presence a special touch to the experience. I hope the rest of the pageant season goes smooth for all of you...What a nice and inspirational bunch we met there this weekend. Thank you, Zulma Fernandez (parent of Savannah Anderson)
Hi David and Maureen, I wanted to touch back with you and say how much I appreciated your phone call and comments. I take them all to heart. I am very thankful to have met you both, as well as your staff, who showed so much kindness to me through out the weekend. The contestants were all wonderful as well. The experience was a positive one for me...I've worked behind the scenes in many shows and events so I understand and appreciate the commitment to providing these opportunities for contestants. Always, Dani
