Betty's talent is an "Original" Poem and Oration, entitled "I AM A SENIOR AMERICAN," she wrote this in 1997, as a tribute to Sr. America, when she was a contestant in the Ms. Senior America Pageant in Biloxi, Mississippi. It was later adopted as "The Creed" of Senior America. She continues to be active in the local, state and National program and activities.
The Ms. Senior America Pageant is
the world's first and foremost pageant to emphasize and give honor to
women who have reached the "Age of Elegance." It is a search
for the gracious lady who best exemplifies the dignity, maturity and
inner beauty of all senior Americans. The Ms. Senior America philosophy
is based upon the belief that seniors are the foundation of America, and
our most valuable treasure. It is upon their knowledge, experience and
resources that the younger generation has the opportunity to build a
better society.
