Alabama Women 60+ are invited to become a participant in one of the largest and most reputable service organizations in America. Entrants may be married, widowed, divorced or single, must be a resident of Alabama and a US Citizen. We are searching for a representative from each County in Alabama. When Dr. Al Mott created this organization 38 years ago, his vision was 2-fold. To encourage seniors to live every day to the fullest and mentor youth toward positive relationships between the two generations.That is still the goal today. This is NOT a beauty pageant. It is an organization that promotes the "Age of Elegance" which truly means something. The Age of Elegance, and the premise of this system, means celebrating your accomplishments, your wisdom, your expertise and how well you present yourself.The winner is not awarded multiple grand gifts; she is awarded the opportunity to travel all over the US, inspiring other women and mentoring young people. Senior America platform is to inspire our peers and mentor youth. It was established in 1980 to promote programs and activities to defy the myths of aging, educate youth and enhance the lives of Senior Americans.🎶Ms. Alabama Senior America will be held August 4. This exciting event will bring participants and attendees from all over the state. The winner will then compete at Nationals in October 2018 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Alabama entry fee is $100 and winner will receive entry fee paid ($1,000) for nationals in Atlantic City. I speak from experience when I say it will be one of the most outstanding highlights of life! We need experiences such as this to help us rise from the daily difficulties that we all face.We are currently looking for a quality, accomplished representative from each county in our state. If you, or someone you know would like to be that representative from your county, contact me. There will only be one from each county and when that one is chosen, that county will be closed.
