Since winning the title of MS NEW JERSEY SENIOR AMERICA 2023, Ferlie Almonte has been busy maintaining and keeping her varied commitments throughout the State.  Her first tri-mester has indeed been impressive, which included parades, speaking engagements, and appearances in NEW JERSEY CAMEO CLUB SHOWCASES.

QUEEN Ferlie has received numerous congratulatory letters from local and State legislators.  Last July, she was invited to appear at the Ocean County Board of Commisioners open session meeting, where she was presented with a Letter of Achievement, written on parchment paper and encased in a glass frame.  Several NEW JERSEY CAMEO CLUB sisters attended the meeting to honor Ferlie as well.

When one reminisces at that meeting, QUEEN Ferlie spoke with such heartfelt passion, as she thanked her Sisters, for all their help and support.  She has a flair about her and a warmth which touches people's hearts.

Upon reading Almonte's biography on her website of the same name, one concludes that hers has been an extraordinay life, that contained many peaks and valleys.  Hers is a story of someone who took on what ever life threw at her, whether it be health issues, personal, professional and financial crises.  Instead of giving up, she made the decision to "turn these lemons into lemonade," and created new ways to define, empower and improve herself.  Ferlie received advanced training and certification from the Academy of Coaching Cognition, allowing her to help those in need of life transformations.  She has co-authored and published several self help books, to help people in all walks of life to communicate their ideas with confidence and an unwaivering image.  Born in the Phillipines, but now residing in New Jersey QUEEN Ferlie is a highly sought after speaker, and travels the globe conducting workshops on Resilience, Life Reinventions, Image, Confidence and Public Speaking to corporations and organizations.


The next step on QUEEN Ferlie's journey is her participation in the MS SENIOR AMERICA PAGEANT 2023, which will be held at the Tropicana Hotel & Resort in Atlantic City, next week.  She has already won the hearts of the former MS NEW JERSEY SENIOR AMERICA Queens, and the members of the NEW JERSEY CAMEO CLUB.  They know how moving a speaker she is, how she can touch peoples' hearts, and that is truly a gift!

A FAREWELL TO THE QUEEN?

  The MS NEW JERSEY SENIOR AMERICA PAGEANT 2024 is soon approaching, and excitement is building in anticipation of the crowning of a new QUEEN.  The time honored annual event will be held at Harrahs Resort Hotel and Casino on Thursday, May 30th at 1:00 PM in the Concert Venue Theater.  Saying "Farewell to the QUEEN" is really an oxymoron - a figure of speech in which two contradictictory ideas are intentionally paired together in order to make a point, particularly to reveal a deeper or hidden truth. During her reign, Ferlie Almonte, MS NEW JERSEY SENIOR AMERICA 2023, has touched many lives performing in NEW JERSEY CAMEO CLUB SHOWCASES, with her energetic quick quips and quotes on resiliency, followed by her signature song, "Smile".  As a cancer surviver, she gave hope to all those who heard her.  Her passion for music really lifted up peoples' spirits and gave them hope to carry on and to face life's adversities. So, what happens to Ferlie Almonte/MSNJSA202...
