With Mila’s help, our young Rotarian Elina handed out programs.
Behind the scenes, Rotarians pulled together the yearly pageant. Our Miss & Teen Fallbrook Pageant Chairman Sherri Trombetta and her Choreographer Christiana Monarez rehearsed the contestants. They are an amazing team! Sherri is a nine-year veteran of this pageant. Christiana is not only a past Miss Fallbrook; she is also the United States of America MS 2020.
Don Weeks looked fairly intense! What did these serious Rotarians do in the lobby? Shuffle tables, place linens, and settle decor! Carry food into the concessions area and adorn the Shining Star table! These tasks all occurred while the contestants practiced their dances and speeches.
Mia Goodman and Celeste Grimard arranged the Shining Star table.
Erica and a helpful boy scout prepared the ticket sales and visiting royalty tables.
On rehearsal night, Rotarians relaxed for photos after the work was done.

On pageant night, the Lobby became a busy place once the doors open. Rotarians managed their posts at the tickets, shining star and concessions tables. Another Rotarian locked herself in a secret room to tally scores to be sent to the stage.
Keith Goodman, Don Weeks, Lea Curcio, George Archibald, and Steve Abbott stood ready with chips and candy.
Helen Archibald waved at incoming groups to visit Shining Star.
Mike Betts prepared to sell tickets and give out "will-call" tickets.
On pageant day, smiles occurred at the photo curtain for a job well done!
