Since her coronation on June 3rd, Sherri McGhie, MS NEW JERSEY SENIOR AMERICA 2015, has begun her year long journey of promoting the positive aspects on aging in the Garden State. So far, she has kept her work schedule and duties as Queen in balance, and she is having the time of her life.
Lawmakers from all levels of government have recognized Queen Sherri for her achievement, with letters of congratulations, and official proclamations.
Earlier this month, Sherri met with the members of the Manchester Town Council at the bi-monthly open meeting. President Brendan Weiner, President presided over the meeting. He introduced Sherri to the residents, and read the Proclamation of Achievement, in lieu of Mayor Palmer, who was absent. The photo also includes Sherri's entourage: Josephine Araniti/MSNJSA2007, her mother, Norma McGhie/MSNJSA1995, and Patricia Oraveta/MSNJSA2001.
The Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders were also eager to honor Queen Sherri. She was invited to their monthly open meeting in Toms River, where President Joe Vicari presented her with a beautifully framed Proclamation of Achievement of Appreciation.

Will this lovely child become a future beauty queen? When Queen Sherri sang at Brightview last month, a little girl was sitting in the audience with her grandmother. After the show, Sherri placed her crown her head.
Queen Sherri did take some time off for R&R. She and past Queens and NEW JERSEY CAMEO CLUB sisters, Delores Puzio/MSDESA2008, her mother, Norma McGhie/MSNJSA1995 and Lyn Gibson/MSNJSA2000, enjoyed a lazy summer day and dined at Water Street Grill in Toms River.
