Officers and members of the NEW JERSEY CAMEO CLUB, hosted the luncheon, and Lyn Gibson, MSNJSA 2000, resident of Leisuretown, Southhampton, arranged for the meeting to be held in Laurel Hall.

After lunch, Johanne Santori, MSNJSA PAGEANT State Director, began the preliminary rehearsal for the pageant. The ladies were bright and seemed eager to work hard, as they paraded briskly across the stage, trying to follow the myriad of directions. Johanne made the afternoon rehearsal pleasant, preparing the ladies well for the next time they will meet, .... at the pageant, and, on the big stage at Harrah's!
