Jeannie Deakyne Dear Prospective 2009 Mrs. U.S. Beauties Contestant:

Welcome to the beginning of a wonderful journey as you consider joining the U.S. Beauties Family at the 2009 U.S. Beauties National Pageant!
 
I am proud to represent this wonderful system and all of the National Queens who have come before me. One of our nation's greatest assets lies in the determined strength of the American Woman; the *Miss *Mrs. U.S. Beauties National Pageant embraces and promotes that strength.
 
The U.S. Beauties National Pageant System is unparalleled in its endeavors to uplift women who want to excel in their lives and make a difference in their communities - they celebrate and support your energy, commitment to marriage and family, and your desire to challenge yourself. Whether you are considering representing your local or state title, the U.S. Beauties National Staff and team of State Directors and Consultants are committed to helping you achieve your goals. What sets this system apart from all others is that they are truly dedicated to assisting you through all phases of this journey - from pageant preparation, to health and fitness training, to appearance scheduling. And you'll find that the former state and national queens don't stop after their reigns have ended - the U.S. Beauties Family returns to support its new queens year after year like no other pageant system I've ever seen!

As Mahatma Gandhi once said, "Be the change you want to see in the world." If you are looking for a way to change the world - whether it is by improving yourself, your neighborhood, or a little bit more - this is the perfect vehicle to make that change. During my Year of Service as Mrs. U.S. Beauties 2008, I will act as an ambassador for the U.S. Beauties Pageant System as well as work in conjunction with the Lupus Foundation of America (LFA) as their "Living with Lupus" National Spokeswoman. The LFA is the nation's leading nonprofit voluntary health organization dedicated to Lupus. Through its over 300 chapters nationwide, the LFA conducts programs of research, education and advocacy - improving the diagnosis and treatment of Lupus, supporting individuals and families affected by the disease, increasing awareness of Lupus among health professionals and the public, and finding the causes and cure.
 
I look forward to hearing your stories of personal accomplishment and meeting each of you at the 2009 U.S. Beauties National Pageant.
 
Best wishes in 2008, and let the journey begin!

Jeannie Deakyne
