DIFFA 2010 Silent Auction Soirée

I had the opportunity at attend the DIFFA Dallas Silent Auction Soirée event on Feb. 3, 2010. It was fun to see all of the incredible items up for bid. There was everything there from pillows to restaurant packages to intricately designed capes to designer dog houses! There were so many people who came out for the event and I was honored that I got to be a part of it.

Ashley Melnick, Miss Fort Worth, and I were interviewed by a local news station which was a cool experience. The broadcaster asked me about being Miss Irving and how I got into doing pageants. I replied that I entered my first pageant on a whim and incidentally broke my foot during my talent rehearsal the day of the pageant, but nonetheless I was hooked and I have been competing ever since. She also asked me what I do as Miss Irving and I told her that I get to travel to schools and organizations speaking on my platform which is AIDS awareness and providing support for HIV/AIDS impacted families as well as appearing at events. I also have the opportunity to compete for the title of Miss Texas this summer. It was funny because she kept thinking my name was "Julie Jordan" for some reason. I think she finally got it right on the broadcast though!

DIFFA Silent Auction Soirée was a great event and I had a blast. Thanks to Bobbie Crowder for allowing me to be a part of this event!
