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/MSNJSA2023 afer she crowns her successor?  She will join the QUEENS who have gone before her, and altogether they will continue to promote the positive aspects on aging.  Her thoughts and suggestions for the future growth of the MS NEW JERSEY SENIOR AMERICA PAGEANT and the NEW JERSEY CAMEO CLUB will be welcomed.

Kudos to a dynamic QUEEN; a woman who has accomplished much in her life, who has endured a life threatening disease, and has risen up to become an example of hope to those afflicted with similar life threatening situations.  The best of luck also to QUEEN Ferlie, as she continues her career as motivational speaker and life coach.
